8/15 new city, new Dbags

Great play to end the inning! Always love it when the Sox score to get the lead and the pitcher shuts down the opposition. Pomeranz has now gone 6 on 72 pitches with no walks. Mostly the knuckle curve and fast ball.

[Maxbialystock]

If Shaw can't hit righties, who can he hit?

[Maxbialystock]

Doesn't always mean death. Could also mean someone is ill.

 

Really? Ill covers a pretty wide spectrum, and this is August in a hot pennant race.

I would say whatever the details are it means it's personal and none of our business. I'm glad media isn't reporting on it.

He just made a great play in the field. He's helping in other ways.

Couldn't agree more. It's non of our business.

[Wade Boggs]

I would try to finish napoli with a curve ball here. He's guessing fastball.

[a700hitter]

One would think that bereavement means a death in the family.

Or a marriage.

[a700hitter]

How was that 2-2 pitch not a strike?

[Maxbialystock]

Couldn't agree more. It's non of our business.

 

Agree we don't need to know as long as someone responsible does know, which is certainly the case.

[illinoisredsox]

Time to get the pen up. Those types of ABs take a toll on any pitcher.

[d-money]

Those dreaded walks.

[illinoisredsox]

Those dreaded walks.

 

Can't say Napoli didn't earn that one.

[Maxbialystock]

gidp, the pitcher's friend!

[a700hitter]

Huge DP!! Like Schilling always said -- the difference between winning or losing a game comes down to executing 5 or 6 pitches. That was a big pitch.

[Jasonbay44]

Pomeranz has been very good tonight. Encouraging to see.

[d-money]

Heck of a job by drew pomeranz. Need an insurance run.

[Wade Boggs]

The question is does he come out for the 8 th. If the score is still 3-1. I say yes.

[Maxbialystock]

So here we are thru 7 innings. Pomeranz has thrown 92 pitches and 20 in the 7th.

 

Send him out for the 8th or bring in the bullpen? My vote is for whatever Farrell decides because he is hands down in the best position to make that call.

I say go with Pomeranz regardless of what the village idiot thinks.

[a700hitter]

Have the pen ready and allow Pomeranz 1 base runner.

[Wade Boggs]

That was pea.

[NativeBostonian]

Johnny Damon is back?

[a700hitter]

Farrell should send Price or Porcello out to pinch run.

[Slasher9]

Big Dick Pom Pom with 6 quick outs, hopefully he stops sucking, the rest of the rotation has started to settle in, aside from Wrights injury (thanks dumb ass farrell)

 

dick. sucking. ass. must be an SC30 post....

[Jasonbay44]

Big Dick Pom Pom.. lol what the f***

[Navafan29]

Ortiz is ridiculously friendly with the other teams. Maybe after he retires, we'll be able to have rivalries again...

[Youk Of The Nation]

Really? Ill covers a pretty wide spectrum, and this is August in a hot pennant race.

 

"One would think" that Hanley wouldn't use the bereavement list to visit a relative who had the 24-hour flu or had recently stubbed their toe. I think the fact that he used it means that something serious is going on and I don't think the hot pennant race takes consideration over death or serious injury/illness in the family.

[a700hitter]

He should just bring basket of welcome muffins for the opposition.

[Wade Boggs]

Why was Betts moved down to 4th? He has to hit in top 3 IMO..

 

I would have not taken him out of leadoff until next year. I was wrong. But that's all you are getting out me
