4/16 vs Rays

[Kimmi]

God Bless America is dumb.

 

Why?

[Kimmi]

Swinging bunts are great.

 

Check swing doubles down the left field line are great too.

 

Randomness!

Oh, and good for Pablo.

Baseball was fine without it on 9/10/01.

Once Price is back, Pomeranz is either going to be the 5th starter or in the bullpen. So, the way I see it is he did what a 5th needs to do. He kept them in the game.

 

I see Pomeranz as keeping the Rays in the game. After he left the game the Rays went 4.2 innings without scoring another run. The Sox hitters kept the Sox in the game until the bullpen went to work.

Well, as of right now, I'm going with Pomeranz to stay in the rotation when Price gets back. He didn't give up 8 runs in two innings. He's also not the one with an ERA above 13. We will have to see what Wright does after that awful start.

So next time it comes on, turn the sound down so you won't be subjected to it.

If you didn't see the game, he deserved a lot better in the first. 5 of the 8 balls he walked the first two Rays hitters on could have been called strikes (and were for both sides after that half inning). An ump may not give a pitcher the border on one side of the strike zone, but Barrett wasn't giving Pomeranz any side. Even with that, if Benintendi catches the ball near the wall (which he should have), Pomeranz gets out of that inning either unscored on or maybe giving up one run.
