9/08 SOX @ Phillies

[mvp 78]

Pull Hembree and put Workman in.

[vegasbob]

Well, Dalbec is way better than Chavis.

 

The triumph of the uncluttered mind

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD went from 'Just Dingers' to 'Just Disappeared.'

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bobby Dee.

 

or Bobby Sox?

[vegasbob]

Brice is an adventure. One hard shot turned into an out by Dalbec, then walks the next one. Red Sox relievers are truly throwers not pitchers.

[TylerD]

Craving chocolate milk. Gonna go have some once we win.

[mvp 78]

Brice is not good

[vegasbob]

If Brice gets to 20 pitches, Roenicke must pull him. Trouble is Walden may not have any more control. How the heck can Brice pretend to be a MLB pitcher and have nothing more than that crap command and control ?

[vegasbob]

This bunch needs to go .500 to get to 20 wins. Way to go boys

[vegasbob]

Grullon has got to be saying , "WTF ?" Who are these guys

[mvp 78]

Eck groaned like that was gone.

[moonslav59]

Let's hope Dalbec is for real and not the next Middlebrooks.

 

That HR to RF was mammoth!

[Bellhorn04]

Nice to see poor Lin get a couple of hits.

[jad]

Also making the final catch. Has either Chavis or Lin played OF before?

Not that I know of. Roenicke is starting to have a little fun now.

[mvp 78]

Lin has played OF for the Sox previously. It's not even his first OF appearance this year.

Last year in AAA, Lin was basically 50% OF, 50% IF.

[mvp 78]

Also making the final catch. Has either Chavis or Lin played OF before?

 

It was Chavis' first professional game in the OF. He has practiced there from time to time, but never made an appearance.

[Bellhorn04]

Lin has played OF for the Sox previously. It's not even his first OF appearance this year.

 

D'oh! I am losing touch.

[mvp 78]

D'oh! I am losing touch.

 

Maybe I've just been unlucky and have seen most of his starts in OF. I was surprised that the number of games wasn't higher.

[TylerD]

D'oh! I am losing touch.

 

Honestly it’s hard to stay in touch this year. I lose track of what players are playing where. Don’t feel bad.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Lin has played OF for the Sox previously. It's not even his first OF appearance this year.

 

Yup. When it comes to gold glove outfielders, there's Willie and Wei Lin.

[mvp 78]

Which Willie?

 

Calhoun, McGee, Harris, Wilson?

[notin]

Grullon has got to be saying , "WTF ?" Who are these guys

 

Or "And I'm the guy who got DFA'd?!?!?"

[notin]

Which Willie?

 

Calhoun, McGee, Harris, Wilson?

 

Well, Willie Calhoun fields like he is wearing a Gold Glove...

[mvp 78]

Or "And I'm the guy who got DFA'd?!?!?"

 

He wasn't DFA'd though.

[notin]

He wasn't DFA'd though.

 

He was by Philly..

[mvp 78]

He was by Philly..

 

The cursed Philly bullpen got to him by transitive property.

 

Force the Phillies to forfeit their season so that it doesn't spread further.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Which Willie?

 

 

 

Calhoun, McGee, Harris, Wilson?

 

Willie Nelson and Wei Lin Jennings. Terrible attempt at humor. "Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be cowhide."

[mvp 78]

Just an old sweet song keeps Pedroia on my mind.
