    Papelbon has shown in his two appearances that he has good command of his off-speed pitches. He threw two off-speed pitches to Millar that really had him off balance. Millar was geared up for the fastball and he had it timed. The scoreboard showed the pitches as 89 mph slider, but from my perspective the last pitch looked like a splitter that dropped and Millar helplessly flailed over it. It was quite surprising that Paps came out of the pen throwing 95+ from the get go and that he had command and feel for the off-speed pitches. By time he came in the temperature had to be in the 30's. it was freezing.

    The ABs will come for Wily Mo. He'll play against most lefties. There will be injuries etc. If Jay Payton had stayed with the Red Sox last year, he would have gotten plenty of ABs in the second half.

    I think Wily Mo has been told that there is a very good chance that he will have the RF or 1B job next year, especially with Nixon in the last year of his contract. I don't think that he'll be a problem.

    Very interesting ORS. I knew the part about the illusion of rising because the harder thrown balls fall less than the eye would expect, but I did not know about the 200 mph study.

    Some physicists have also claimed that the curveball is an optical illusion, because that too was against the laws of physics. Anyone who has tried to hit them know that it is not an optical illusion. Similarly, I think the guys that faced Bob Gibson might tell you that the rising fastball is not a myth.

    It is encouraging, and he is still building arm strength.

    Foulke hit 88 on the gun. It's good to see that he is building velocity.
  8. a700hitter
    6 hits off Seanez and counting.
  9. a700hitter
    Except for the IF hit, everything has been hit hard off Seanez. 5 hits
  10. a700hitter
    Snow can throw the leather! nIce diving catch!
  11. a700hitter
    Seanez 4 batters 4 hits 4 runs. He will be fighting with Riske to keep a spot on the staff.
  12. a700hitter
    Clement looked very sharp tonight. His sinking fastball had them swinging and missing a lot. Seanez is in the game now and has given up 3 straight hits. He stinks.
  13. a700hitter
    It's official, and Clement is breezing
  14. a700hitter
    Stop doing your rain dance.
  15. a700hitter
    Clement is sailing. Great work from a #4 or 5 starter.
  16. a700hitter
    If it is still raining, it is not heavy.

    Nice for Youk.
  18. a700hitter
    Youk needs to get on a roll.

    1,2,3 Way to go Matt!
  20. a700hitter
    A nice quick inning.
  21. a700hitter
    Freakin rain go away!
  22. a700hitter
    Nice hit by Lowell. He has no problem with bat speed. His problem is with the off-speed stuff.
  23. a700hitter
    Pitching change. This guy Dubois gave the Sox trouble last year.

    Please don't tell me what I think. That is offensive. Your assumptions about what I think do not logically flow from anything that I have stated in any of my posts on this thread, but your comment about the man named "Butcher" is is by far the most absurd application of logic in this thread:thumbdown .
  25. a700hitter
    Nobody on this board is telling anyone when he or she should or should not be offended. I have stated numerous times that people have the right to be offended (see post # 25). My point, which I keep making and which keeps getting misconstrued as you have above, is that people should consider the context of a statement and the actual meaning of the words before they decide if someone meant to be disaparaging. That being said, many people are distracted by buzzwords that heighten sensitivity and they don't really listen to or read what is said to determine the meaning of the statement.
