5/18 Orioles at Fenway

[Station 13]

And Benni has to watch that, he knows how that felt.

[mvp 78]

Pomeranz had a 4.97 ERA through eight starts last season, 2.85 in 24 starts after that.

 

This is his 6th start and his ERA at the moment is 5.61.

Do we lead the league in outs on the basepaths? I wouldn't be surprised if we did.

[FredLynn]

Another out on the basepaths....why not just give the Sox two out per inning and concede one out per inning?

[jung]

Base running has gotten worse it appears. It certainly has not gotten any better and that is hard to believe.

[jacksonianmarch]

Pomeranz looks pretty bad right now

[jacksonianmarch]

But Schoop looked worse. Dumb AB there.

You bet we do.

[jung]

We need to score some runs. Some one of these O's is gonna' lose one of these FB's

I don't mind Bogey's attempted steal...but Mookies mistake was brain dead

[d-money]

Throw strikes *******

[mvp 78]

That's 30 combined baserunning outs and caught stealings for the Sox - most in the AL, 3rd most in MLB. (Cardinals, Pirates have 31 each.)

[d-money]

Need some offense

[illinoisredsox]

I see Natick and d-money are posting; Sox must be trailing.

[jung]

Yup...swingin' at air

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The pain of watching POM on the mound is equal to blocked gall stones.

[FredLynn]

Bradley...what a stiff

[jung]

Cobb didn't even appear challenged by JBJ. Three BP pitches turned into, Good morning, Good afternoon and Goodnight.

[S5Dewey]

Another one by Mookie!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

BETTS! Unbelievable.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Betts leads the major league in AB's with no one on base.

Beni?

I listened to the Orioles feed on the way back from the hospital even though my cell would allow me to get the NESN feed thru mlb.cm. Why? Because NESN has to be the absolute worst station and announcers I have ever listened. The Orioles guys are professional, constantly feeding useful information both about what's happening and the players doing it. Plus they are not homers. The NESN guys hate talking about the game and the guys playing it, and the commercials on that station are just painful--repetitious and compressed to ensure as many as possible in the 2 minutes alloted.

[Station 13]

JBJ with swinging through a low 90 fastball that is down the middle, he just flat out cannot hit

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Note to Cora:

 

Please do not pitch E-rod and POM back-to-back. I don't want to get hooked on pain killers.

[d-money]

Need a strikeout in the worse way.

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

Our record doesn't indicate it but we are a .500 team.

[FredLynn]

Bradley misses his cutoff man putting another guy in scoring position....poor decision

[Station 13]

Mookie with 12th SOLO BOMB. We're not even leading. DFA.

[Maxbialystock]

Bradley...what a stiff

 

Plus he overthrew the cutoff man allowing the batter to make a single into a double.

I have no problem overall with his defense. He is probably top five in the AL defensively in CF.
