8/11 Sox @ O's game 2

[Tedballgame]

I will always give Workman credit for 2013, including working the 8th inning of game 6, but his stuff is mediocre and I don't trust him in tight situations.

Why did Cora take Velazquez out of the game?

 

Because he has a pitch limit. That's as far as he has gone usually.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

 

Let me know when you get a personality that is more interesting than a number 2 pencil.

I don't trust this bullpen at all.

Same with you.

[Tedballgame]

Workman in danger of letting this get out of hand.

[d-money]

******* just loaded the bases. I don’t think they wanna fall down 4-0

Has anybody ever said something about an injury to Velazquez?

 

There were times this year where he was hardly used after just showing he was pitching well.

 

They called up Beeks rather than start him that time.

 

He started twice in April (5.2 IP 1 ER and 5.0 IP 2 ER) and had a 2.05 ERA at the end of that month.

 

He was then used just 7.2 innings in May (no starts).

 

He was used a little more in June (13 IP) but still had no starts.

 

He finally started on July 10th but went only 3 IP (49 pitches). He ended up with 14.1 IP's in July. He did not pitch in August until the 9th (2 IP 1 ER).

 

Why is Velazquez on a 40 pitch count (all year).

[d-money]

Time to get some runs off this guy. Come on!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Economical inning by over-workedman. Doubt he'll be coming out for the 4th.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A lot of the over-work by the SOX BP is self-inflicted, because most of them have trouble throwing strikes.

[SoxHop]

bump

[Tedballgame]

J.D. is great.

[Station 13]

What an at bat.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jim Dandy!

[a700hitter]

JD is pretty good.

[oldtimer]

What an at bat.

 

None better. 36 on August 11th. Now the rest need to get going.

[d-money]

Good for one run. Need to keep this at 1 run.

[SoxHop]

Nice swing Devers.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The O's feed just showed that stretch play by Pearce at 1st again; amazing!

[Tedballgame]

Pomeranz must think he is starting because he is already giving up rockets.

[d-money]

Drew pomeranz has 9 lives.

[d-money]

I don’t understand this move to pomeranz. The guy stinks!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If POM doesn't succeed in the BP, will the SOX then put him under the BP?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I think it's safe to say that Betts plays defense in RF the equal of JBJ in CF.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice inning by POM. Nice pick-off.

[d-money]

Surprise surprise pomeranz gets aggressive and he gets outs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nunez has been stroking lately.

[Station 13]

Nunie has been hitting much better.

[Tedballgame]

Butler just did something Sandy Leon probably would not have been able to do....get the run from third.
