8/10 Angels @ SOX 4:00PM EST.

[OH FOY]

Nice by Mookie.

[OH FOY]

Took the extra base.

[jung]

Upton probably figures he is owed a couple of boners in the OF today. Guy is tailor made to drive his managers up the wall.

[OH FOY]

X-Man has some of the best hands.

[OH FOY]

We got some hitters with great hands.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's a good thing that NESN isn't showing pitching stats.

[OH FOY]

That wasn't that good of a throw.

[jung]

Geezus,Calhoun is a tree stump.

[OH FOY]

Eck called it. hahahahaha

[OH FOY]

Travis lets go BRO!!

[jung]

Now i am not sure Heaney knows where any pitch is going. What NESN is calling a Curve isn't even a Slurve. if he is gripping it as curve it has got to be the sloppiest Curve anybody ever heard about. I got a quick look at his "Sinker" grip and it does look like he is gripping it as a two seam. But it does not act like one and he has no idea where its going.

[OH FOY]

Runs count!

[OH FOY]

Now you need the hit.

[jung]

Heaney's Change prompts a quick visit to the mound. How much ya' wanna' bet the discussion started with "what the f*** was that?"

[TylerD]

Well we are on the board.

[jung]

There was a chance of the Vaz fly hit Upton right in the head, knocking him out, clearing the bases and allowing Vaz to toddle home too.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I already know the state of the SOX. It's Massachusetts.

[OH FOY]

Now he's pitching.

[OH FOY]

Let GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

POR pitching well except for.

[jung]

It is pretty amazing how often Rick has pulled off this magic act. The entire reason why he gets creamed early in games is because he has no four seam any longer yet he has to try to throw it. As soon as he abandons it or does not even try to throw it, he guts his way through batters, outs and innings. But he is truly doing it on guts alone. That much we should admire if nothing else.

[TylerD]

Porcello got it going on now.

Agreed. But the trouble is that doesn’t donit against the power house teams.

 

Granted he played well his last start against the Yanks so I dunno.

[jung]

Heaney now revolting against his pitching coach, falling in love with that change and throws it to Sandy.....Sandy accepts the favor. Pitching coach pulling hair out.

[OH FOY]

SweeT!

[TylerD]

Brutal. 5-1

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Earlier I posted POR was a bum. Always go with your 1st instinct.

[jung]

Trout must have gotten tired of hearing how Fenway is the only Park in the AL he does not have a HR in....check that box!

[Station 13]

What a meatball. f*** Porcello.

[jung]

You can be bad enough to be good...and I think Heaney fits that mold today only having given up 1 earned. You can also crawl up to just good enough to be bad. I think Rick fits that description today.
