4/13 Orioles at Fenway

[Emp9]

He's tired. He probably should be out of the game already

 

Yeah, got a bit fatigued, you could tell too. But he got the job done. Very encouraging outing.

[Maxbialystock]

this is one hell of a 2nd outing for E-Rod!

 

Agree. Despite my criticism, a great 2d start.

[Emp9]

Well, Freddy Kruger just went 6 giving up 1 against the Orioles. But not without some pain for us watching.

 

Really, I felt like he was in cruise control for most of 6 innings. I wern’t scared

[Sox75]

Agree. Despite my criticism, a great 2d start.

 

AGREED! IF he had lost, I would be BITCHING about the Dice-K pace of the game! It's a bit brutal to watch, but winning makes the time SEEM TO fly.

 

Now I'm freaking out that there are 3 innings to go after this.....

[Sox75]

Thank god that was the speedster Mooreland coming home :0

 

Actually, we owe this to Mooreland hustling & unbelievably beating out the double play.

[Station 13]

JD had many HR eaten up by RF at home.

[mvp 78]

Coco Crisp woulda caught it.

[Maxbialystock]

7-3, thanks to Hembree.

[Maxbialystock]

3 hits, all well hit.

[Emp9]

Hembree f***in w/ his slider when he should’ve been throwing his FB.

[d-money]

Nice job sucking hembree.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Donnie Hart sounds like the name of every sitcom kid from the 70s and 80s rolled into one.

[Jasonbay44]

I really like Tzu-Wei Lin, and I feel like he should start at SS until Xander is back.

[mvp 78]

Joe “the God” Kelly

[Maxbialystock]

Kelly only needed 9 pitches. Bring him back for the 9th, please.

[Spudboy]

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

 

Why would you eat at Olive Garden? Don't you have Italian Restaurants where you live?

[Jasonbay44]

Missed most the game, but looks like a nice easy win. Keep the good times rolling.

[Maxbialystock]

Very nice win. Some good hitting and some good pitching except for Hembree.

[Larry Cook]

Very nice win tonight. Rodriguez looked really good,

[moonslav59]

Sweet!

 

Good to see Devers hit well. I think someone wanted to rest him tonight.

 

ERod was buttah. 6 IP/ 104 pitches is same ole-same ole, but I'll take it !

 

The pen seems a little shaky still, but a win is a win.

[Station 13]

Suddenly the offense is clicking, imagine Bogaerts, Pedroia, Hanley all back. JD Martinez is stinging lots of hits soon to RF with warmer weather.

[Slasher9]

I’m worried about Hanley’s wrist. We have seen with other players over and over how hand injuries can linger the entire season sapping power.

[Slasher9]

Coco Crisp woulda caught it.

 

I thought about this for awhile. I rewatched the play on both nesn and Baltimore feed. JBj first step and route was perfect. The ball was hit so hard it caused him to do the awkward sprinting “jump” at the ball as it whistled over his head. It was a great try and would most certainly been a 5star catch. All that said, coco may have caught it

[Bellhorn04]

I’m worried about Hanley’s wrist. We have seen with other players over and over how hand injuries can linger the entire season sapping power.

 

Hanley says he feels good. Cross fingers.

[Maxbialystock]

Suddenly the offense is clicking, imagine Bogaerts, Pedroia, Hanley all back. JD Martinez is stinging lots of hits soon to RF with warmer weather.

 

On this homestand, now 7 games, the Sox have scored 3, 10, 8, 14, 7, 6, and 7 runs: 8 runs per game. Bogaerts, easily our hottest hitter, was injured in the last game of the road trip, so these 7 games have been without him.

 

The five Sox leaders in rbi's are a tight shot group: HamRam 12, JD 11, Betts 11, Devers 10, and the absent Bogaerts 9.

 

The bottom third of the order is weak, but they also led that huge 8th inning rally vs. the Rays last weekend.

Why would you eat at Olive Garden? Don't you have Italian Restaurants where you live?

 

Why would you eat at Olive Garden if there aren't any?

[Spudboy]

Why would you eat at Olive Garden if there aren't any?

 

To be honest, I don't dislike Olive Garden. They do have excellent salad and their food is wholesome and usually appetizing.

 

But it is not really Italian cuisine. It's more like what Taco Bell is to Mexican.

 

To each his or her own, I guess.

 

I'm just glad I live in a region where genuine ethnic foods are readily available.
