nice double play by Pedey.....he rocks

[Jasonbay44]

You guys are being ridiculous, Pedroia GIDP is annoying and the team is struggling but let's be real. He's having a great year and is one of very few elite players at his position.

GIDP is an important stat. Imagine a pitcher who gets 17 strikeouts. Nice night? Not if he also gave up 8 home runs.

Lets put Brady in the dug out during his 4 game sups. to fire up this team. Just saying. Farrell does nothing to fire this team up. Just don't like him going forward..

[illinoisredsox]

Nice time to sit Shaw's left handed bat against this AA pitcher.. Farrell sucks

 

Hill is 11-22 (now 12-24) career against Lincecum. Think that might be the reason he's at 3rd tonight?

 

Hanley came in 9-27 againt Lincecum (now 9-30).

 

Which one are you going to sit?

 

You know, sometimes managers make decisions with stats that the average fan doesn't have.

sss

[Jasonbay44]

Jbj!

[a700hitter]

It is about time that someone unloaded on Lincecum.

[bowman]

Agree, but do you really think Farrell knows this.. lol. I don't sit a left handed bat against puss..

[SoxHop]

Someone was bound to get to this chump......

[illinoisredsox]

Agree, but do you really think Farrell knows this.. lol. I don't sit a left handed bat against puss..

 

Not what I asked, are you sitting Hill or Hanley?

Take a chill pill....these are not well thought out comments...can we have some fun when the team is struggling?

[a700hitter]

Who will close for us tonight?

[Jasonbay44]

GIDP is an important stat. Imagine a pitcher who gets 17 strikeouts. Nice night? Not if he also gave up 8 home runs.

 

This comparison makes no sense. Also, if it such an important stat;Pedroia has grounded into 17. David Ortiz has grounded into 16. Should we get rid of Ortiz also like a bunch of you are suggesting we do with Pedroia?

 

There is very few 2B that can do what Pedroia does both defensively and offensively, if the trade-off is sometimes he'll hit the ball hard and it results in a double play, fine, I can live with that.

[SoxHop]

We're up 2, but this does have the feel to last nights game.......

[Jasonbay44]

Who will close for us tonight?

 

Is Ziegler unavailable? If so, who knows.. I just hope its not Tazawa, that experiment clearly didn't work and I don't want to see it tried again.

You know what they call the guy who holds the major league record for most DPs hit into in a season?

 

Hall of Famer.

 

It's #14, Jim Rice. (He actually holds the top 2 spots on the list, 3 of the top 10 and 4 of the top 20)

Right on Porcello!!

[bowman]

Your right, HanRam and Hill put up some big hits tonight.

Don't surprise me, a lot of great players have led the league in GIDP, Pujols, Miguel Cabrera and Adrian Gonzalez off the top of my head have in recent memory. It's part of the game. It is definitely frustrating at times, but some this hate is ridiculous lol.

[SoxHop]

O damn....... thank you Mookie!!!!!!!!

[a700hitter]

He pitched 2 games in a row, so I don;t know if he is available.

[illinoisredsox]

All I'm pointing out is the decision to play Hill (and Hanley) wasn't just pulled out of the air.

 

And you STILL haven't answered the question, which one are you sitting so that Shaw can play?

[Jasonbay44]

Nice play by Mookie.

 

Meanwhile, Porcello is having another great start... I was definitely wrong about him, I was harsh on him and thought he sucked last year, glad I was wrong.

The top 50 list is littered with Hall of Famers and other really good players. Yaz is on there. Bobby Doerr. Dave Winfield, Brooks Robinson, Ernie Lombardi, Harmon Killebrew. Pujols is on the list as is AGon, Vlad Guerrero, Pudge Rodriguez.

[bowman]

I'd have Shaw at 1st tonight. That would give me Ramz off the bench. And hopefully Shaw doesn't throw one in the dug out to cost us the game in the bottom of the ninth. Just saying. Got it..

[Jasonbay44]

Big insurance runs from Xander.
