Red Sox @ Tigers

Saturday....7pm.....Comerica

 

Pomeranz 9-9/ 2.99

Finally got a win with the Red Sox last time out, holding the Tribe to 5 hits and 2 runs over 7 2/3 innings. Pomeranz has pitched well in his last 3 starts giving up 5 runs in 19 innings.

 

Norris 1-1/ 3.47

Norris faces the Red Sox and former Tigers GM, who acquired Norris in part of the David Price trade. Gave up 6 hits and 4 walks in 5 1/3 innings against the Royals on Monday.

[Wade Boggs]

The lineup...

 

 

Pedey , XB, Ortiz, Betts, HR, Bradley, Hill, Benintendi, Holaday

Great, a rain delay

[d-money]

Not good

[d-money]

Any idea how long this rain delay will last?

[Navafan29]

Any Guesses as to when we'll resume? Don't have access to NESN yet.

[Navafan29]

I predict that based on the Detroit weather radar, we'll get started at 8:35 PM. There's a little patch of rain that is expected to cross over Detroit from 7:53 PM to 8:22 PM.

 

Edit: NESN just announced that the game is expected to start at 8:30... That would be nice.

Blue Jays winning 5-0 right now

[Wade Boggs]

8:30 first pitch.

[Jasonbay44]

Blue Jays winning 5-0 right now

 

At least Orioles are getting hammered. 5-0 Astros with bases still loaded and 0 outs for Houston.. Tillman out of game after 2 innings.

[Wade Boggs]

Chris Young to be activated sometime next week.

Ortiz absolutely hammered that ball

Cleveland has tied up a Toronto 5-5 now.

[Navafan29]

Ortiz absolutely hammered that ball

 

Hammered it right into the ground.

 

And holy cow at the Blue Jays lead only being 1 run at the moment.

[Navafan29]

I'm very impressed by Benintendi laying off that high fastball on the 2-2 count and not striking out. Most rookies strike out on that I think.

[d-money]

Hope pom can keep pitching well.

He has a good eye. Plus good bat control. When he fills out a tad more, he has leadoff hitter written all over him. I've never seen him play ,until he got called up. I was reading and hearing what they where saying. He's hit everywhere professionally.

[Jasonbay44]

Good scoring opportunity here. 2 on and 0 out with Ortiz and Mookie comng up.

[Navafan29]

Here we go! Game on Betts's stick! Will this be a lame moment where we fail to score again, or a breakout moment??

[Jasonbay44]

Why is this team so bad with the bases loaded?

[Station 13]

Mookie is never seeing pitches inside hitting behind our top 3 hitters. He has to sit on a mistake.

[Jasonbay44]

We waste a scoring opportunity, then Tigers hit a home run to instantly tie game. awesome.

The pitches Norris thrown are up and they been punch the other way, he hasn't exactly thrown anything close.

[d-money]

I notice pom and porcello have a tendency to give a hr at least in every start it seems.

[d-money]

Runs plz!!!!!!!

[SoxHop]

It mystifies me why right handers can't see that looping pitch over and over again and just crush Pomerance....

[Wade Boggs]

Pomeranz is pitching good, need to score.

[Wade Boggs]

XB may be coming out of his slump a little.

[SoxHop]

Hello Mr. Xander........... glad you could join us......we're glad you are back...

[Wade Boggs]

PAPI powers one.
