8/16 the real AL Dbags

[Wade Boggs]

Hanley will rejoin team Thursday for the 1:05 game @ DET.

I used to wish fondly for a bench-clearing brawl between the O's and Rays, which ended with Showalter punching Joe Maddon in the face so hard that Maddon's hipster glasses embedded themselves in Showalter's palms. Then he would die slowly of an excruciating bacterial infection.

 

I'm jumping on this bandwagon too! I like that idea!!

Hanley will be with the team Thursday for the 1:05 game @ DET. Dave OB said.

Gotta hit this bum gallardo. Come on

[Station 13]

Cubs please sign the dbag before DD does.

They should a 2nd time now through the order. Gallardo throws 86 miles.

Jon Lester is recruiting him hard. Theo is too.

[a700hitter]

Nice hit and run.

When was the last time the Red Sox scored with the bases loaded.

It's getting very frustrating!

[Wade Boggs]

Need Erod to hang in there. The O's just got through that.

I don't know. But on the telecast Dave O said they are hitting 223 with the bags full. Not that good.

It does help if you load the bases with less than 2 out, although in the Sox case that hasn't been the case lately.

Betts blew it, pure and simple. That first pitch was so fat, but he let it go by. Gallardo clearly had his number, but he also made some good pitches.

[Maxbialystock]

Orioles have twice walked Ortiz to get to Betts and it worked both times. Betts has left 4 men on. This is all Farrell's fault of course. He is supposed to put players in position to excel.

[d-money]

Right now this offense not getting it done.

[Wade Boggs]

Holt is in a BIGTIME slump.

Since you brought it up, I would never bat such a slow guy like Ortiz in front of such a fast guy like Betts. If they walk Ortiz it takes 3 hits or a Homer to score him, and it forces Betts to run one base at a time. Stupid is as Farrell does.

[Maxbialystock]

Gallardo is pitching well, keeping his pitches down and mixing them up. But the Sox are also missing opportunities. Betts especially.

 

It is borderline criminal how the lineup is so far wasting a great start by ERod.

Nice try. It was putting that lefty in there to break up three straight righties that allowed even the possibility of some offense. All Betts needed was a little single to bring home two--Pedroia and Bogaerts--and Ortiz was the one who gave him the opportunity by getting walked.

[Wade Boggs]

Erod looking good. I think Eck is right , his fastball is looking like 100 mph. It's getting on the O's hitters fast.

Has he thrown any changeups?

[Wade Boggs]

Beni just missed that.

[a700hitter]

Damn!

[a700hitter]

Can the choker get a hit here?

[Wade Boggs]

Has he thrown any changeups?

 

On two strikes his blowing them away.I haven't noticed that many. But mixing it up some what.

[NativeBostonian]

Come on David. Light him up here!

[bowman]

C'mon Mookie

[bowman]

F...aaaaa

[Wade Boggs]

Mookie 3 run poke. That ball was out in 2 seconds. Mookie has some quick hands.
