5/10 vs Yanks

[OH FOY]

Way Martinez hits to right, he's dangerous in Yankee Stadium.

He would hit 60 bombs. It's tailor for his swing.

So basically, this is nowhere near a "walk the world" pen, and is in fact very close to the exact opposite?

 

Precisely.

See, you're still ragging hard on Boone even with such a great record. Just like many Sox fans have been ragging on Cora.

 

Hold it right there, buster. When Cora is criticized on talksox, it's completely legit. If Cora did his job right, the Sox wouldn't lose. it's that simple.

E-rod allow 1 hit last night. He had good stuff, but his control is preventing him from being on another level. He's still only 25, so we can cautiously expect him to have some good seasons ahead. He also chews up the Yanks.

 

Yes, he walked 3 guys and needed a lot of pitches. But I have a slightly different theory about last night. He needed 22 pitches in the 1st because he was trying to get control of the lower part of the strike zone and below it--and he achieved just that without give up a run. I do agree, however, that he flat lost it in the 4th, but got a little lucky and escaped with no runs. Austin swinging at two balls definitely helped because by then the bases were loaded--and Austin struck out.
