  1. Does any player popup more than Scutaro?
  2. Anyone think Crawford should be moved down a spot? Maybe Reddick can hit 6th?
  3. MLB Gameday seems to suggest most of the pitches thrown to Youkilis were strikes. Strange umpire tonight?
  4. Why did Francona bring out Wheeler in a close game?
  5. I'm a little late to the party but I'd like to comment on the JD Drew situation. I don't really like him more than I did Trot Nixon, but platooning him and Mike Cameron doesn't seem to be hurting the team too much. Players go through cycles, especially in baseball. He sucks now, but he has collected timely hits recently and in the past few years. Pedroia, Salty, Varitek, Scutaro and Crawford have all hit for atrocious averages at some point this season and I'm glad the Sox still have them.
  6. Hopefully Paps can work on getting that ERA under 4 again
  7. Beckett goes 7 strong, gives up 2 ERs and his ERA goes up. Unbelievable pitching this year.
  8. He had a gutty performance today. I know 5.1IP and 5ER isn't great but for the #5 pitcher against the Yankees, I don't think it's necessarily terrible either - especially given the way the Sox have been ripping the cover off the ball. And Aceves was dynamite. They may be a decent #5 duo. Besides, at least one of the runs Wakefield gave up was dumb. That "HBP" on Cano was questionable.
  9. Jeter's the man!
  10. Let me rephrase then. With Lackey rejoining and Dice-K done for the season, I don't mind having Wakefield and Aceves share the 5th spot. The commentator on ESPN just noted how Aceves throws around 95 which probably seems like 110MPH after seeing a bunch of knuckleballs. Didn't the Sox have this issue back when Brad Penny showed he couldn't go past 5-6 innings? EDIT 2 minutes later: of course they're not looking too good right now, but it is against the Yankees
  11. This is embarrassing but I don't even remember the Yankees' rotation. There's a guy named Nova on there right? Sabathia is still their ace? Who else is on it?
  12. I don't think Wake is a terrible 5th option. It wasn't too long ago that he was an all-star and had 16 wins. Aceves seems to be doing alright as well. If he can give the Sox 6 innings, 2 ER which is what they hoped for out of Brad Penny, the rotation should be fine. Although I do like the idea of Derek Lowe returning and Aceves moving back to the LRP position
  13. Did Ilemi stop working for anyone else?
  14. :thumbsup: Big thank you to all the guys with your suggestions! ILEMI works well for me, even though the advertisements are a little annoying. Still, it's waaaay better than MLB Gameday!
  15. Right on VA Sox Fan. Welcome back, Captain! Despite his poor batting, a catcher's ERA under 4 is awesome.
  16. It'd be pretty sweet if he joined the staff and brought his wisdom and knowledge of the game to the team in a different way.
  17. I'm crossing toes just to be safe too.
  18. Of course not, I wouldn't have written "Go Twins!" if that were true. That is a good point though - the Yankees losing would still be higher on my list than the Angels losing. There's still hope for the Twins though.
  19. Not me. My girlfriend tried to argue with me that rooting against the team that beat your team is unsportsmanlike, bitter and petty. And it probably is, but why would you want to root for the team that ruined your team's chance at happiness? Go Twins, Go Rockies!
  20. This would be pretty cool. I'd like to see Tek stay with the Sox in one form or another.
  21. A remarkably good point. How long before they install holographic strike zones for pitchers and batters?
  22. Do I even need to point it out? Might as well: Obviously not. Source(s): Last night's game
