    What I don't get is why 'Jima and Papelbon weren't the choice to get the last 9 outs. The last time both of them pitched was on 5/10, for an inning apiece. They can't go 1+ IP each on 3 days rest with a day off tomorrow? So, we cough up another 1-run lead putting inferior relievers into the game, ask Oki to put out the fire again (which he has not been good at this year), and don't use our best reliever in another close game. But, hey, he'll be super rested for that next 3-run lead he protects. Stupid.

    This sounds like Lugo. He gets to the batter's box and then forgets that he needs to get on base first before he can reach home.

    Thank you, Cabin Mirror!

    Everything up? I'm at work and the locations on Gameday have me at full sphincter pressure.

    The magical get up 3-0 before sucking trick is in full effect.

    It's going to cost them to deal Lugo, IMO. Not cost the quality of the team, mind you, but money. If they are sending money out with the SS, and then paying money to an arbitration salary level player in Khalil Greene, then the calculus of the SS position becomes quite costly. I don't see them doing that when it looks like the more than adequate replacement is sitting in AAA and ready for this level. Greene made $2.25M last year per BB-Ref. Lowrie makes the minimum. And, I'd bet dollars to donuts he would put up a higher WARP1 than Greene this year. EDIT: JHB posted while I was typing. I concur, there's no need for a SS in return.

    So the 1-2 pitch is a low and in FB to a LH batter? Mmm'kay. Night all, big meeting early tomorrow, a good book to finish, and no desire to watch anymore of this going through the motions performance. Hope the bats wake up for those of you who stick it out.

    Beckett is treating this like it's a fastball only rehab start at McCoy. Maybe something offspeed is in order?

    6 K's. Guthrie. No, really, that's it. That's the punchline.

    The offense will take the rest of the night off, just like last night. Rays in first on 5/14, book it.
  12. ORS
    Wake the f*** up. Five K's for Guthrie? This guy is a one pitch jobber who prays to the god of BABIP.

    Just weather the storm. Nothing is going their way right now.

    Isn't Kielty on the DL?
  15. ORS
    He may be out for a while. Get well Brandon Moss.

    You have got to be kidding me? How many of their s*** contact dinks are going to fall in?

    Oh, she's still good, but she's no longer on top.

    I understand that the biological clock is ticking, but I think Ochoa made this decision a little easier. She can't keep up with the next generation.

    I'm confused, ksushi. Are you actually advocating a preferential strikezone? JHB has acknowledged that one exists, but suggests it shouldn't. Your counterpoint is that's just the way it is. He, I, and others realize that is the current way things work. We just happen to disagree with it in practice. For you to counterpoint further, you would need to advocate such a situation. Do you?

    Daddy has Hank in check? Doubtful. What is rumored to have hit Big Stein doesn't get better with time. Keeping the tapioca in his mouth and off his chin is probably higher on his list of priorities than anything else right now. This isn't coming from mean spirited thoughts. I've witnessed this first hand with my grandmother. In less than a year she went from being able to hold a conversation, albeit addled with directions to people long past, to needing full-time care and soft food. Thems the facts.

    Posada is the 2nd best hitter on the team? One career year a trend makes, huh? Funny, that courtesy didn't extend to Lowell in your estimations of the Sox coming into this year.

    What's in the gamethread matches what I saw in the game. That said, while he did get royally screwed on the call vs. the location, he wasn't hitting his spots. The catcher's glove moved often and by more than a little. Combine that with a need to limit his workload as part of his development, and I still think the time will be after the 23rd, provided Colon has no setbacks.

    700, offer sent.

    No, this isn't a reactionary post due to his poor performance tonight. This isn't about a demotion. Given his expected workload coming into the season, he's going to have to go down at some point. In a perfect world, I think that time would be now as he's struggled with command, particularly of the FB, in the last two outings. Unfortunately, his probably replacement, Bartolo Colon, isn't stretched out to come up right now. They play 2, have a day off, then play 14 straight. Bart pitched 3 IP (49 pitches) on Saturday, 5/10. Clay's rotation spot will come up again on 5/18 at home against MIL. Not enough time to pitch Bart again on Thursday 5/15 and then replace Clay. His next start would be 5/23 in Oakland. Bart should be stretched out after his 5/20 start, so I suggest they make the move after the 23rd (provided there are no setbacks - regardless of Clay's performance in those two games).

    At least we don't have to come back to this abomination of a ballpark.
