8/18 Schedule makers are Dbags

So Butterfield got ejected. Watch the Red Sox lose from sending a runner right into an out at home.

[Slasher9]

excellent job by clay minimizing damage.

[Station 13]

Hanley almost cost them there.

[d-money]

Need the offense.

[Slasher9]

JD would have easily made it to 3B if it was not called an out.

 

yes. he was running on that pitch. he probably could have made it home.

[Jasonbay44]

Xander looks absolutely awful at the plate right now

[Slasher9]

X-bo night and day from first half.

Xander looks absolutely awful at the plate right now

 

Can't see it but let me guess. Fastball down the middle taken for strike one. Hittable pitch fouled off for strike 2. Breaking pitch down and away swung over the top of for strike 3.

 

Am I close?

[Slasher9]

dang.

right track.

K pitch was a swing and miss at a ball down and in heading towards his back foot.

[Station 13]

Xander has zero answer for offspeed pitches.

[d-money]

Xander should be batting 7th or 8th right now. More runners left on base.

[a700hitter]

What a bizarre play last inning.

[d-money]

Need some offense. Go sox!!!!

[Jasonbay44]

Sandy Leon!!

 

MVP MVP MVP MVP

Ty cobb

[Bellhorn04]

[Station 13]

Sandy!

I'm not much of a Buchholz fan, but I fail to see the point in bashing him when he is actually doing OK. Plus one would think Sox fans would want him to do well so the Sox can win.

[illinoisredsox]

Well, the 2nd wasn't pretty, but Clay has done his job so far. I certainly would have signed up for 4 innings and 1 run. Can they squeeze one more out of him? I say you let him start the inning but if there's trouble, get him out. Can't push it too hard the 3rd trip through the order.

[illinoisredsox]

I was about to ask if Xander can bunt and should he; the first pitch answered that question.

[a700hitter]

Sandy Leon is still at it. So, people think this is just luck?

[Slasher9]

WORK getting in my way of enjoying this game right now.

[Maxbialystock]

Horrible at bat by HanRam. He fouls off 2 high fast balls and completely misses one in the middle of the strike zone.

Well let's see how he finishes up here.

[Slasher9]

clay back out for 5th. i agree IL. short leash time....

if this was a price start people would be creaming....

They would be screaming about the run he gave up. And mentioned $30 million several times. Edited August 18, 2016 by a700hitter

[Jasonbay44]

5 innings 1 run so far from Buchholz? I'm happily surprised.

[Jasonbay44]

The would be screaming about the run he gave up. And mentioned $30 million several times.

 

"This is the type of game where he needs to be an ace and allow 0 runs on 2 hits over 8 innings, we are paying him 30 million and expect that every time!!"
