7/3 at A’s

[d-money]

A f***ing struggle to get an out.

[d-money]

He has pitched well to this point but boy it’s not pretty at times. If he can give us two more innings.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Guy's given up 1 run in 4 innings and there's still complaints.

[Tedballgame]

Two more innings would be nice.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder what the record is for pop ups in a 9 inning game?

[d-money]

Big inning coming up for Richards.

[d-money]

Guy's given up 1 run in 4 innings and there's still complaints.

 

True it doesn’t matter if it’s pretty or not. The stat line is what counts.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

With the way shifts are used it's a luxury to have a strong-armed 2nd baseman.

[d-money]

Seems like Richards has better location tonight.

[Tedballgame]

Have to tip my hat to Richards. Gutsy performance so far.

[d-money]

Those damn walks. 2 outs. Can’t do that.

[Tedballgame]

Dalbec looked awfully tentative going for that foul pop up.

[d-money]

Richards at 90 pitches. I say he comes out for the 6th inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dalbec looked awfully tentative going for that foul pop up.

 

 

There's almost as much foul territory as fair territory on that football field.

[d-money]

There's almost as much foul territory as fair territory on that football field.

 

Such an advantage for a pitcher.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When the SOX come back at .500 from the west coast trip, that's considered successful.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Such an advantage for a pitcher.

 

 

Eck had no complaints pitching there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The 6th inning nightmare. Hoped he go 6, but hoping is not doing.

[d-money]

Settle down richards.

[d-money]

Ridiculous. Start warming up that pen.

[Tedballgame]

Get him out of the game.

[Tedballgame]

He should never have come out for the sixth

[d-money]

Gotta get out of this.

[Tedballgame]

Barnes not available today

[d-money]

No walks. Come on.

[d-money]

Cannot have those walks. Driving up the pitch count.

[d-money]

This guy has to settle down and throw strikes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Speaking of pitchers who can't throw strikes, I was watching the Mets beat the Yankems earlier today. The Mets' manager brought in a reliever named Castro, who in 115 innings pitched in the major leagues had walked 158 batters. So, of course, he walked the 1st two Yankems he faced.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Bogey. Slower runners help make good defensive plays.

[d-money]

Nice job. Let’s get that run back. Go sawx!!!
