4/13 Orioles at Fenway

[Emp9]

When Tillman isn't missing the strike zone, he's basically throwing batting practice.

 

Yeah.

 

Eck said” a little up. Not enough hair on it”

[FredLynn]

Nice to see Tillman on the mound

[TylerD]

Just got home. Already have 4 runs. Wow

[RedSoxRally]

Yeah.

Eck was spot on too. Tillman isn't lasting long tonight.

[NativeBostonian]

Tillman=BP

[oldtimer]

The Sox lineup, missing both Bogaerts and Hanley is still tough to deal with. Now, get the ball over, no walks.

[RedSoxRally]

Tillman=BP

 

I'm certainly enjoying Tillman's outing!

[Sox75]

K's the side!

[NativeBostonian]

Good inning from ERod. Very impressive.

[Sox75]

Looking much better this 2nd outing!

[RedSoxRally]

A quick & painless inning for E-Rod

[Emp9]

Ok, THAT was the best inning I think I’ve seen ERod throw. Like ever.

[jung]

Just having tillman back as a starter sort of tells the Baltimore story I think.

[RedSoxRally]

Nice job Lin! Found himself down 0-2 and doubled on a protection swing.

[NativeBostonian]

This team is feeling good right now. I'm seeing good things in their future.

This guy's serving up more meatballs than Olive Garden.

[RedSoxRally]

My god Mookie smoked that ball. There was a damn vapor trail coming off of it as it shot toward the Monster!

I'm more of a chicken fettuccine fan myself when eating at Olive Garden.

[RedSoxRally]

I think everybody thought Moreland swung (including Moreland) with the exception of the 3B umpire. Good call.

[RedSoxRally]

Even Martinez's outs are loud.

[Station 13]

Even Martinez's outs are loud.

 

He's going to rake at YS

I’m more 7 & seltzer

[d-money]

Let's go rodriguez. 1-2-3

Hear these guys talking about Sox aggressiveness at the plate and copying the Astros... I’m thinking a lot of us have been talking about a change in philosophy since before the Royals won their WS at least. Or maybe since Youk has been off the team. ???

The Red Sox hitting approach needed to change badly. So far it's been a dramatic difference and in the best way possible. The last couple of seasons the Red Sox didn't buckle down to hit until they were down 0-2 or 1-2 in the count. It's pretty tough as an opposing pitcher to make a mistake when they are up 0-2 or 1-2 in the count. This is a much more aggressive Red Sox lineup.

[Nick]

only 49 pitches for E Rod in 3 innings....a record.

[oldtimer]

E-Rod just struggles to throw strikes. Got through this inning though

Pedey will bring us back to taking strike 1!

 

You can't change that old dirtdog!

[RedSoxRally]

He's going to rake at YS

 

I agree. The way JD hits the ball to the opposite field with power, you bet he's going to rake at Yankee Stadium. Once it really starts to warm up outside, a lot of those opposite field shots Martinez is hitting deep to CF and Right-CF will start leaving the yard more consistently.

I give the Sox credit for going this gar wuth Holt when it was onvious he was fone. I'm sure the whole dugout knew it was just a matter of time before Lin took over. Can't forget Holts real value for the previous 3 or 4 uears.
