  1. YANKEES WIN!!!! THAAAHAAAAAA YANKEES WIN!!! Twinbill shutout!
  2. Warren doesn't have it tonight. Need one last one here
  3. Exactly. And losing those three made this yr your true bridge yr. It wouldn't have been tolerated too well had last yr not gone so well for you guys.
  4. The ball is dying in NY too. Gotta keep the ball down to win this game
  5. 8 more shutout innings. Happy to see it.
  6. and Phelps gets out of it
  7. I have only seen bits of Buch, but his FB looks 91-92 and a few 93's, what's his deal?
  8. Pineda was dominant again. Girardi is being cautious with him, so he brings in Phelps, who is actively trying to lose the game
  9. I have said this 1000 times this offseason and into the preseason. The sox had a great mix of career years and solid health last yr. Expecting the same after losing Ellsbury, Salty, and Drew is crazy.
  10. You currently have no table setters Last yr: Batting #1- .294/.348/.422 117R 55SB Batting #2- .295/.362/.446 118R 18SB This yr: Batting #1- .193/.292/.281 5R 0SB Batting #2- .226/.238/.258 6R 1SB
  11. 22IP 5ER 28K 2BB. Way better than I could have imagined
  12. He walked a guy in the first and had some command issues, but since then he's dominated. 8IP 2H 0ER 10k 1BB. Both hits were bunts
  13. Tanaka is dominant
  14. Up 2-0 with Tanaka throwing. Here's to hoping the good times roll
  15. His splitter was up in the zone in the first. He's gotten it down. He's dominated since
  16. Tanaka not sharp so far
  17. I could care less about the first two weeks. I'm going off the SRs out of the minors over the last few yrs. average or worse defender expected to outgrow the position anyway
  18. Bogaerts is a minus defender at SS and expected to be a 3b long term
  19. A complete unknown got a 7yr $152 mil deal from NY. Max Scherzer is asking for $25 mil a season. Lester most likely considered himself on that level. Cliff Lee, a rather good comparable, got $25 mil a yr 3 yrs ago. That's likely what he'd get on the open market, and he'd likely get 6-7 yrs. the offer the sox made was a Beckett extension, and it's a massive lowball offer. Consider that Lester would get 6 yrs $140-$150 mil, he got offered two less years and half the money he'd get on the market
  20. Alright gentlemen. Enjoy the game. Looks like Ventura is trying to lose, as this kid is done. I gotta get my beauty sleep
  21. Methinks this kid needs to be relieved
  22. Peavy's motion is violent, but it's the cross body motion and abrupt stop to his arm that makes one wonder how he hasn't done more damage to his arm in his career
  23. Even if Scherzer is the better talent, you know what you have in Lester. Scherzer might come to Boston and just fold under the pressure
  24. I agree. He wasn't just a black baseball player, he was THE black baseball player chosen by Branch Rickey to do the unthinkable. He entered the league at a time when you could "lynch a n****r" for looking at you the wrong way. He was prepped, he was threatened, he was galvanized and he came through as the guy who could do it and do it well. Let's say a hot head broke the color barrier and he jumped into the stands at the first person who threw something at him, it would have set back integration by a decade. Also, if he sucked, he'd have set back integration as the mongrols would have said that blacks couldn't play as well as the white folk. They aren't just celebrating the fact he was the first black ballplayer. They are celebrating the fact that in so many ways, he was the perfect first black baseball player.
  25. Bogaerts cooling down. They're going away from the fastballs with him and he's having trouble.
