  1. what the f*** ump? That was strike 3 all the way EDIT: Nevermind Beckett gets the K on the very next pitch, 7 Ks in all (25 Ks in 24 innings). He's at 89 pitches so him for the 7th still, Okajima in the 8th, Paps in the 9th please
  2. damn that curve is looking sweet
  3. I wouldnt mind at this point a platoon of Cora/Pedroia, Cora can help take off some of the stress from Pedroia to ease him better as he adjusts to major league pitching
  4. Yet more work for this Yankees bullpen, but Jacko believes the Sox bullpen will be the ones burnt out by August
  5. Tell that to Jay Payton. Now Im not saying he's going to get in Tito's face like Payton did in Texas... but Im just thinking say if is able to rebound to a Cleveland like season (.300 avg, 15 +/- HRs, 60+ RBIs, 25 +/- SBs), should the Sox shy away from lower market teams offering intriguing trades?
  6. True which is what I said in my previous post that he's not the same Beckett they had faced last year. ------ rotoworld Jorge Posada is also questionable to start today. It could swing even more toward the Sox's favor if Beckett has to face a lineup of: 1. Cabrera lf 2. Jeter ss 3. Abreu rf 4. Rodriguez 3b 5. Giambi dh 6. Cano 2b 7. Phelps 1b 8. Thompson cf 9. Nieves c
  7. His last start vs the Yankees was a win in which he went 7 innings, allowed 3 runs and struck out 7. He had 2 bad starts vs the Yankees yes, but he also had 2 quality starts against them. This is not the same Beckett from last year. If have been paying attention he's not fastball, fastball, fastball... he's now throwing his curve more and for strikes, and his changeup (83-88 range) for strikes to keep hitters off balance
  8. Haha with the inflated market for bullpen help... Okajima signed a 2 year deal with an option for a 3rd year, a grand total of $3.5 million : ) Since giving a homerun on his first major league pitch, he has now retired 17 out of his last 18 batters. Hmm Donnelly for the 7th, Okajima for the 8th, Paps in the 9th. I like.
  9. Haha Jacko calm down you wanted Myers to stay in against Manny, the uh lefty killer? EDIT: Okajima in 7.2 innings has allowed 1 run on 2 hits, walking 2 and striking out 9
  10. What a f***ing game Okajima is making a name for himself, look for him to get more chances to do set up and hey give the guy some more save ops when Paps has the day off Damn I must say the player of the game is Coco Crisp with a clutch 2 RBI triple off of Marian Rivera. 6 hits over his last 4 games now I believe?
  11. Back to back come from behind wins!! This is def my favorite game of the season thus far Hah look at that smug on Arod face
  12. Okaji!!! Big out of Mr. April, great leaping catch by Cora
  13. hmm pineiro has held arod to just 4 for 25, nah he'll stay in the pen
  14. Alright Okaji 1 out down, tough out of Jeter... continue to make yourself known as a reliable arm in the pen this year
  15. Noooo We use him tonight, he'll be spent for the next 2 games. He's already thrown 45 pitches in the 2 days prior, no burn out thank you
  16. Mariano I think I love you Cora!!!!!!!! has done it again
  17. At least we knew coming into this game, it could go either way with the pitching matchup. Sox have to win the next 2 games that are both in their favor
  18. Haha now he brings in Kyle Snyder, he shouldve started the inning
  19. Insurance for what? Dont kid yourself
  20. Tito wants to thow this game away, Romero up until the Arod hit (shocker) held righties to a .462 avg
  21. uhh Romero to face Arod after he already has 2 homeruns... isnt he supposed to be the lefty specialist Tito?
