8/29 vs Miami

[redsoxrules]

This is more like it!

[a700hitter]

I like swihart more from the right side.

Of course the numbers say the opposite, but I like his swing better from the right side.

JBJr. What a different hitter when he goes with the pitch to oppo field

[illinoisredsox]

Mattingly brings in a new reliever to stiff Swihart, but oh wait, Swi is a switch hitter ??, Who knew ?

 

He's hitting like .140 from the right side, around .250 from the left. It was the correct move, especially with JBJ on deck. It didn't work, but it was the right move.

[Tedballgame]

Who will pitch the 8th? Has to be Braiser.

[a700hitter]

I always liked Bradley. Big fan of his bat.

[redsoxrules]

Betts!!!!

[Tedballgame]

Moooooooookie!

[Fan_since_Boggs]

Love the decision to pinch hit for Leon, who failed the Red Sox pitching staff today, and has the hitting skills of a back up Triple A catcher.

[mvp 78]

That was quick.

[vegasbob]

Mookie has buried the slump emphatically. Loving it

And so was pitching to Betts with an open base and a lefty on deck?

[Tedballgame]

Not sure if I like the bunt there. Just giving up an out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No doubt in my mind that Mattingly, dumb as he may be, wants the SOX to win. If this is not the case, it sure looks like it.

[a700hitter]

Cora should PH Moreland against the RH reliever.

Yeah I don't like that either especially when everyone was ripping the ball

That was dumb. Making Swihart hit from his weaker side (both this year and careerwise) was not.

Swihart screws Don

 

It was a good idea to turn Swi around. But because its Mattingly doing it, it was doomed to fail. Even when Don does something right, its wrong.

He really is this dumb and he still bleeds pinstripes and works for Jeter who probably wears pinstripe underwear.

Small sample size on the right side. He has a better swing with more power from that side, but Mattingly wouldn't know that. He doesn't watch our games.

Safety squeeze with Holt ??

[Tedballgame]

If Benny was going to bunt, Holt should have squeezed the run in.

[Tedballgame]

Nice hit by Holt. RBI triple.

[mvp 78]

Triple HHHolt

[vegasbob]

Brock squeezed it all right. Sets up another rbi for JDM

[a700hitter]

I'll take the triple. A 3 run lead is not BP proof.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He really is this dumb and he still bleeds pinstripes and works for Jeter who probably wears pinstripe underwear.

 

I disagree. I think Mattingly holds a grudge over the Yankems when they passed on him as manager and hired Girardi.

[vegasbob]

And White Sox add 1, now 4-1

[redsoxrules]

Brock squeezed it all right. Sets up another rbi for JDM

 

Unfortunately everytime there's a base open he won't get a chance

[mvp 78]

3-0 greenlight!
