End of Dustin's ceremony is all I can think.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

After this 3 game series the SOX and Yankems will meet 8 more times in the next 23 games. The Yankems have already played Tampa 13 times so far.

Perez on pace for a 27 pitch shutout, no hitter

[vegasbob]

A great inning by Perez, only 24 outs to go, presuming our guys score

[jung]

Sanchez uppercutting like crazy. Bat does not stay in the hitting zone long enough. Bane of many MLB hitters these days.

[d-money]

Get an early lead on these guys.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

MC is going to Hammer one.

[jung]

Chavis practicing uppercutting in the on-deck circle.

[jung]

Any pitch at Chavis belt line or below is a mistake pitch.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

German Munster on the mound.

[moonslav59]

We should score 8 this inning; our lead off hitter JUST GOT ON BASE!

[vegasbob]

Need the big fly here to make it count

[mvp 78]

Pedro/Tek pushing Pedroia in the laundry cart is my everything.

[jung]

Come on X. I like him in this spot.

[vegasbob]

So was the steal by Chavis called or freelance? Was Verdugo awake or blinded by his own glare ?

[vegasbob]

Xander is Sox MVP, reliability personified. German is very hittable tonight with a little patience

[jung]

Come on Rafi...that pitch almost hit you.

[vegasbob]

Going to make a dent in NYY's bullpen tonight, good move

[TylerD]

3-0!

[Oscars]

Great start.

For a singles hitter Hernandez is a very poor contact hitter

[d-money]

Perez better pump those strikes.

[d-money]

Perez leadoff walk.

[vegasbob]

Anybody got some nibbles to chew on ?

[d-money]

This dude is gonna give it right back.

[moonslav59]

Great start.

For a singles hitter Hernandez is a very poor contact hitter

 

He's actually not known as a singles hitter- maybe not as any sort of hitter.

 

He averages this per 650 PAs:

 

23 HRs

 

36 2B+3B

 

59 XBHs

 

80 Singles

 

WhileI would not label him a power hitter, either, I see him as more of a doubles/XBH'er with a decent SLG% more than a singles hitter who gets on base a lot.

 

Career

 

.239 BA

.312 OBP

.425 SLG

[moonslav59]

Is it part of all of our game plans to immediately walk the first hitter after we put up a crooked number?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mary Kaye on YES asked what does Perez bring to the party? He's the SOX #5 starter you moron.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Our weak defense will always rear its ugly head.
