Andrew Triggs (5-1, 2.12 ERA)

 

4:05 pm est start.

 

LETS NOT GET SWEPT BY SACKS OF s***!

[Spudboy]

Losing 4 in a row is the exact opposite of what this team needs to be doing.

 

The Sox must find a way to win 8 of 10 or something like that.

 

Yeah, it's still early in the season with the Sox "only" 4.5 games back.

 

That deficit could grow to 10 games and guess what?

 

The season would be pretty much older unless division leaders went into a dive while the Red ox went on a tear.

 

The time to win is NOW.

 

We all seem to be saying that this team ha plenty of talent. Hmm. Maybe so.

 

Does this team have the heart and mental strength to put it together?

 

I don't know about that.

[cp176]

i don't think that the right type of talent in general is there

Pedroia 2B

Bogaerts SS

My thoughts,

 

We can't get swept by Oakland.. I mean seriously !!

 

Leadership is required on this team . Stop talking about it and be about it.

 

 

Brandon Workam up, Noe Ramirez down.

[Kimmi]

I don't care how you do it team, just win the stinking game!

 

Get it done boys!

[Spudboy]

A win would be nice.

[Maxbialystock]

To be honest, I've been impressed with the A's pitching. That combined with our return to anemic hitting could easily lead to a sweep what with Triggs going 5-2 with an ERA of 2.12.

 

So try this on for size. Our first four hitters--Betts, Pedroia, Bogaerts, and Benintendi--have 3 hits among them in this series to date.

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if our Noffense can turn it around against a guy with a 2.12 ERA.

 

Reverse lock? We can only hope.

[bosoxmal]

The Rays have caught up (to us)m and the Jays aren't far behind.

 

I wonder what John Henry is thinking. (Maybe time get in theeee "flipping" business?)

[Station 13]

Caron is terrible.

[Jasonbay44]

Mookie Lead off walk, bloop single and he scores easily due to a horrible throw by Canha. Good start

[Jasonbay44]

What the f*** is Moreland doing?

[a700hitter]

What the f*** is Moreland doing?

He is a headless ballplayer both in the field and on the bases.

[a700hitter]

If a sweep would be enough to seal Farrell's doom, I would be ambivalent about the outcome.

[Bellhorn04]

How many hits will we get today?

[Station 13]

How many hits will we get today?

 

We have scored the 2 runs quota.

[Bellhorn04]

And 2 singles in 4 innings.

[Jasonbay44]

What the f*** is with all these random scrubs hitting bombs this series? Chad Pinder and Mark Canha? really?

[Bama Boy]

How many hits will we get today?

 

Over Under should be around 5 1/2

[NativeBostonian]

Jesus what the hell. Stop giving up homeruns.

[Bellhorn04]

5 innings left to avert the sweep.

[Station 13]

Fire Pedroia

[Jasonbay44]

Vazquez stealing bases? Okay then

[Jasonbay44]

Marrero is seriously one of the worst hitters I've ever seen.

[a700hitter]

A's already have 3 errors and the Red Sox cannot get more than 2 runs. Need to capitalize.

[Jasonbay44]

Nice piece of hitting by Mookie

[NativeBostonian]

Taking the lead here would be nice.

[Jasonbay44]

I say it time and time again, Mookie's baserunning is outstanding.

[Bama Boy]

Mookie is the man.

[a700hitter]

I say it time and time again, Mookie's baserunning is outstanding.

Daring base running by Mookie today, but very smart base running. There wasn't a play made on him in either instance.
