9/14 vs. Athletics

[Station 13]

Pom throws too many strikes to be Dice-K. The problem is that Pom's stuff isn't overwhelming so there's lots of foul balls rather than swing and misses.

 

It would help if he doesn't throw so much down the middle where it's easy to make contact.

Biggest difference between Dice-K and Pom is that Pom heavily relies on his FB and Knuckle Curve. Dice-K really threw the kitchen sink. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=7775&position=P#pitchtype

I don't think he has the greatest control. He seems to have been fairly lucky this year.

vazquez is so far above his career norms that I am happy he hasn't played long enough to know what a career is.

Pom has only gone 7 innings once this year. He did it 7 times last year. He has never pitched into the 9th inning of a game he has started.

On pitch 111, Pomeranz Ks Olson on a 92 mph fastball. His stuff wasn't sharp today, but 6IP, 1R, 5Ks, 3 BBs. 2.86 ERA since All-Star break.

[S5Dewey]

Two things Pedey did right.

 

-Hitting a double to LCF

 

-Verifying with the base coach THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE OUT! Watch & learn, players.

[Station 13]

entropy consumes Pedroia. Life's a bitch

[Station 13]

Benni is heating up again

[cp176]

lack of aggressiveness on beni's part - could have been a triple - just kidding -

[Slasher9]

Time to score runs.
