5/10 vs. The Oakland Athletics

[a700hitter]

Manaea is garbage. Lol! He got destroyed.

[Jasonbay44]

Chris Young has boosted his average 40 points with 2 hits tonight, just to give you an idea of how few AB's he's had and how premature the calling for his head is.

[a700hitter]

boo

LOL! No boos for Shaw getting thrown out at 3B.

[S5Dewey]

8 earned runs in 2 1/3 innings. That'll drive the ERA up!

He is benefitting from my at the game mojo tonight. He still stinks. Craig Grebek (sp) would hit with me here. LOL!

[redsoxdirtdog]

This offense is a juggernaut! If we were able to get a really good #2, or one of these 6 step up to a good #2..... & our #1 comes back, THIS IS A WS bound team! Moon might be right about 98 wins???

[Jasonbay44]

One thing I do like about O'Sullivan is he works quick and throws strikes, at least if he gives up a hit its in one or two pitches. I don't have to sit around half an hour for an inning of 4 walks.

This is a great point! Not only for baseball in general, but for the pitcher! Come in with a gameplan. The pitcher that keeps a quick pace most often keeps the batters off balance. They don't get to "settle in" to the box & get a good look. I've never understood the tediously slow pace that Price has been keeping lately???

Came in at 7.20 and left at 11.37.

[SoxHop]

This guy is making Buhholtz look really bad.

[Northern Star]

Boom.

[Jasonbay44]

Shaw with a 5 RBI night.. This team is rolling right now.

[Hugh2]

Shaw must of heard me talking trash about his ability to hit lefties.

[Emp9]

If Young hits like tonight every so often, we won't need to go out & get another LFer.

[Jasonbay44]

Hit streak for JBJ continues.

[Northern Star]

OK, I know we have a big league, but let's cut the s*** out.

[a700hitter]

Shaw must of heard me talking trash about his ability to hit lefties.

He is excellent against lefties. He hangs in very well and sees the pitches well. He usually puts up very good ABs against them.

[Northern Star]

Get him out.

[a700hitter]

O'Sullivan isn't an answer for the rotation.

[royf19]

For an emergency starter, O'Sullivan did his job. But 6 IP, 4 ER, 12 hits -- he is what he is, a journeyman.

[d-money]

Our pitching has to get straighten out.

[d-money]

I can't stand a pitcher who walks a hitter with an11-4 lead.

[Northern Star]

Thanks for swinging at that, Vogt.

[Northern Star]

Our pitching has to get straighten out.

 

Scary to think what our record would be if the bats weren't putting up so many runs most nights.

[Northern Star]

Keep the goddamn ball down, Ross.

[Jasonbay44]

Lol, WTF are the A's doing

[a700hitter]

Travis Shaw does it all on both sides of the ball and at 2 positions.

[Hugh2]

Really? except for his poor numbers vs. LHP pretty much his entire professional career except for 1 month last year?

 

I like Shaw, but he does not look good vs. LHP.

[Northern Star]

Andrew Miller BS, 7-7 in the 8th.

[wyo-sox]

Travis Shaw does it all on both sides of the ball and at 2 positions.

he's going to be a solid piece of this team for a while. We've been waiting for an answer at third and I believe we have it.
