[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

E-Rod 6-4 5.42ERA vs A.Heaney 4-6 5.40ERA

 

 

Hopefully, I'll be starting the GT up to the ASB.

 

GO SOX!

Splinter Mojo!

[TylerD]

Splendid mojo

 

Won’t be around for this one folks. 2:00 my time so I’ll be working. Will try and follow on game day

[Thunder]

I'll start this one at work, then go to the driving range ahead of thunderstorms in the Boston area, then go home and eat, and then go grocery shopping. One of those days you enjoy having a radio handy.

Win the series and this will be a very successful west coast trip. They have a s*** pitcher on the mound so it's doable

Some key bats have been quite this series in key moments.

 

Yesterday we had some of opportunities with leadoff doubles and we couldn't capitalize them with runs.

 

Hopefully bats wake up big time today and take the series.

This angels pitcher has been rocked a number of times. Gotta get to him!!!!

[d-money]

Need another good game from ERod.

[jung]

Well here we are folks...same bat time....same bat station.

 

I wanted to make something of a retraction. I said a few weeks ago that I welcomed the combo of Ellis Burks with Jerry or Eck and Dave in the Sox NESN booth. I take that back. Ellis has worn me out. I have no idea what the hell the guy is talking about.

[d-money]

I hope they don’t get shutout by this pitcher. He’s garbage.

[Tedballgame]

Verdugo scorches a ball that turns into a DP and the Angels dink in 2 hits in a row to start the game. Not good.

[d-money]

Not again. Come on.

[illinoisredsox]

Cue the whiners.

[d-money]

Rodriguez has to settle down and give us a chance here.

[d-money]

Cue the whiners.

 

Shhh. Nobody is whining. Just don’t want the slow start.

There’s a word for it:

 

Baseball

[d-money]

This BP has been overused. I think Cora will let him pitch even if he gets bombed.

Do you actually watch the games? WTF is he supposed to do on two bloops? Seriously, give an answer.

 

Edit - Three bloops.

Of course the hard hit ball goes for an out. Anyway, no drama for me today because I'd already posted before this trip that I would welcome 3-3 with open arms, knowing the SOX history of impotence on the west coast.

Doesn’t matter still hits.

Please let us know when he starts getting bombed today.

[d-money]

Have to limit the damage. Heaney is not un hittable.

Please let us know when he starts getting bombed today.

 

You’re watching the game aren’t you?

Baseball

 

I know its baseball. I only said it wasn't good. And now its 2-0 which isn't good. Facts.

[d-money]

Not as bad. Have to get to Heaney.

[redsoxrules]

Angels have been getting bloop hits all series. I'm sick of it. Never seen a team with so many bloop hits. It's disgusting

[d-money]

2 runs is not bad. Heaney is hittable but the offense has to show life.

However, I'm not against the SOX finishing 4-2.

[jung]

Well you are all more right than Ellis Burks. He is trying to make the case that ERod "is beating them". No he's not Ellis. No he's not.

 

Just to not be contradictory, I have said from day 1 that I thought ERod simply needed more time to recover and be something close to ERod again and he does appear to be on a path to being ERod again. So I have no complaints really. But No Ellis, ERod is not at the moment beating them.

[illinoisredsox]

You’re watching the game aren’t you?

 

If that’s your definition of being bombed, you need a new dictionary.

 

I leave you to your ridiculous standards.
