6/7 Tigers @Boston

[Jasonbay44]

What a horrendous debut by Beeks.

[OH FOY]

IMO the hardest thing for these guys to get used to is that in the bigs, real mistake pitches just get hit. Even if they are not crushed they get hit.

 

Agree 100%

[FredLynn]

Nice start for our top pitching prospect.....I will personally buy his ticket out of town.

[bmattioli]

Gee thanks for who ever came up with this idea..

[d-money]

We are in a race with the skankees and pitching minor leaguers?

 

What a f***ing disaster.

[d-money]

Hope someone different is pitching the second inning. An uphill climb now.

[Natick to NC]

This kid is not a MLB caliber pitcher ...aweful stuff ...litterally seen better talent last weekend in single A .....mudcats have better talent .

[a700hitter]

Is there a story behind his choice of number.

 

5 spot in the first inning. 7 run rule in effect.

 

Hey Dewey, did we see him in Fort Myers or did I just see that on TV? I remember him getting blown up and sent down the next day.

[d-money]

Hope Boyd doesn’t have anything tonight. He’s capable of going 7 shutout innings.

[Station 13]

Whoops he's being hurt by Fenway. The HR and 2B off the wall is a Fenway special.

f***ing horrible decision to bring up this kid ....he has nothing .

[Station 13]

Relax.

[StephenCurry30]

why the hell is beeks even starting tonight ? I didn't realize he was up till I turned the game. this makes no sense. pomeranz is hurt... but we had wright start today, and have Velazquez, why start this guy? makes no sense

[fxkatt]

So, who to hell is he replacing? We have 5 starters with Wright.

[SoxHop]

Well.... that sucked.

[Jasonbay44]

So, who to hell is he replacing? We have 5 starters with Wright.

 

It was a spot start, he isn't staying up.

Can anyone say Bobby Sprowl? This is a far cry from Buch’s debut against a potent Angels offense.

[Maxbialystock]

If you go over to the Beeks thread, you will find universal enthusiasm for starting him tonight. Even I said it would be fine.

 

But this kid threw way too many fastballs and got killed.

[jung]

Beeks is probably saying to himself "gee that HR ball did not seem like THAT BAD a pitch". But you just can't throw pitches that are doing nothing and get that much plate. Sure it was down but that was at it was ...down....almost center cut and doing nothing. A guy that is not even a HR hitter, barely gets the barrel on it and GONE. Serious rude awakening.

[Natick to NC]

Have to put in Neck TAt

[Station 13]

So, who to hell is he replacing? We have 5 starters with Wright.

 

Nobody. Cora likes to rest guys.

[Jasonbay44]

For all the people saying it was a stupid decision, I didn't see any of you complaining about the move before the game. Hindsight is 20/20

[Natick to NC]

Benny is a f***ing beeeeeeast !!!!!!!!

[OH FOY]

Got back 1, nice Benni.

It's mostly on Beeks, but I have to think everyone--Cora, the pitching coach, and Swihart (who probably had no opinion)--agreed that lots of fast balls in the 1st innings was the way to go.

Hey JB I work man I don't know the starters every game until I flip it on ok ????helll who pitched yesterday ??? The hell if I remember

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pretty much what one would expect from a starter that goes thru the SOX farm system.

 

To be fair, the SOX farm has provided some great bats.

[OH FOY]

I was for the Cup of Coffee too on Beeks.

[jung]

The great thing about this current Beni run is that he is not overswinging, not allowing his swing to get big and just as it should, the balls go.

[OH FOY]

He was pitching well at Pawtucket, but now you see Triple AAA to the Majors.
