8/11 Sox @ O's game 2

[Tedballgame]

Hembree sucks.

[Station 13]

f*** Hembree. He's finished.

[Tedballgame]

Thank goodness he picked the guy off.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hembree always makes it eckciting.

[Tedballgame]

Hembree is pitching himself off of the postseason roster.

[oldtimer]

F****** Hembree.

 

He has been awful for us recently. Can't even get the bottom of the order and nibbles until he walks guys. Now the game is tied again.

[iortiz]

This is Mr. Hembree, ladies and gentlemen. DFA his ass already!

[Station 13]

I haven't seen as bad of a reliever as Hembree since Bard meltdown. He can't be trusted for anything.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hembree just took a win away from POM. Our BP isn't bad and it isn't really good; it's actually amazing. It's amazing this BP is on a team playing .700 ball.

[moonslav59]

Shoulda left the great Pom in.

[Tedballgame]

At least Gasoline Kelly is warming up.

[Carbo-Diem]

It is the basis of his workout routine.

 

It's how he gets that sweaty, stringy hair look going.

: You must be too young to remember Eric Gagne's stint with the Sox in 2007.

: You must be too young to remember Eric Gagne's stint with the Sox in 2007.

 

That was an Eck-tremely bad trade for the Sox.

[Carbo-Diem]

Mookie to right center.................please

[d-money]

Well time to sweat it out with this BP.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Shoulda left the great Pom in.

 

I would have. He was actually throwing strikes. Something that is foreign to most of our relievers.

[Station 13]

No Oreos have struck out tonight. Putrid.

Or the immortal Way Back Wasdin

[Station 13]

It's Joe Kelly turn. He should dye his hair pink if he gives up runs.

[illinoisredsox]

I would have. He was actually throwing strikes. Something that is foreign to most of our relievers.

 

He threw 24 pitches last night though; he's geared to every 5th day right now, I'm amazed he was reasonably effective back to back days.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Gee, JD, two hands please.

[Tedballgame]

That was an Eck-tremely bad trade for the Sox.

Just looked up Gagne, who was extremely bad for the Sox in 2007. He pitched 18 innings and gave up 14 runs with a 6.75 ERA. But.....look at his stats for 3 years:

 

2002 4-1 1.97 ERA 52 Saves 82.1 innings 114 K's .862 WHIP

2003 2-3 1.20 ERA 55 Saves 82.1 innings 137 K's .692 WHIP

2004 7-3 2.19 ERA 45 Saves 82.1 innings 114 K's .911 WHIP

 

WOW! Dominant for 3 years. Probably as good as any closer ever for 3 years.

[Station 13]

Throw your fastball, dickwad.

[Tedballgame]

Or the immortal Way Back Wasdin

I was going to say him but I remember him more as a starter. "Way Back" Wasdin.

[illinoisredsox]

No Oreos have struck out tonight. Putrid.

 

That is somewhat amazing in today's game.

 

When I was a kid, I remember Ken Holtzman threw a no-hitter for the Cubs in which he did not strike out a batter.

[d-money]

Try throwing strikes early kelly.

[Station 13]

Missing by 2-3 feet. Kelly has revert back to his old starting ways of wildness.

[Tedballgame]

If Pomeranz stays in, he will eventually give up a bomb to left.

I meant Hembree.

[illinoisredsox]

I was going to say him but I remember him more as a starter. "Way Back" Wasdin.

 

I though he was too, but I looked it up. Wasdin appeared in 170 games for the Sox and only started 16.
