  1. Whoooo-hoo! MDC holds the lead for an inning. Kudos to Tito for having faith in MDC...I wouldn't have done that, and reliever innings are precious in doubleheaders.
  2. Hmmmmm...Manny pops up to the right side.
  3. Think that somebody told Dice-K to throw strikes between innings?
  4. You know, the Brewers' sluggers do well when thrown fastballs grooved through the lower half of the strike zone.
  5. I ran reports on POPUP% (IF/FB %) for all AL batters with 150+ PA and all Boston Red Sox. AL POPUP% ranged from 21.9% for Mark Ellis to 1.5% for Delmon Young, with a median of 7.6%. For the Red Sox, here are the stats: [table]NAME | POPUP% Joe Thurston | 57.10% David Ortiz | 13.00% Mike Lowell | 10.60% Coco Crisp | 10.30% Jacoby Ellsbury | 9.30% Jason Varitek | 7.00% J.D. Drew | 6.90% Kevin Youkilis | 6.00% Dustin Pedroia | 6.00% Alex Cora | 5.60% Manny Ramirez | 3.40% Jed Lowrie | 2.80% Julio Lugo | 0.00% Sean Casey | 0.00% Kevin Cash | 0.00% Brandon Moss | 0.00% Jonathan Van Every | 0.00%[/table] Flaw? Yeah, he's worse than average this year, and he was a bit worse in 2007, but it's not enough for me to worry about given his high LD%. We can't all be Manny Ramirez.
  6. I like leadoff doubles. *** [tangent]If anybody wants my blueberry muffin recipe, PM me. Offer ends at the end of the game. [/tangent]
  7. Concur: Weeks had to understand that it was his to catch, sprint over from a shaded-to-left second baseman's position, and the catch the ball while sliding. Great replay.
  8. Ellsbury puts on a bunting clinic. Lesson: run like hell.
  9. Not a bad throw by Matsuzaka to get Hart. Dice-K may spend too many pitches playing the edges of the corners of the strike zone, but the guy can field. I remember Jim Kaat...he's better than Kaat, IMHO.
  10. No. I also don't think that, individually, Manny, Papi, Youk, Prince Fielder or Ryan Braun will go yard...but I think that somebody will.
  11. Hmmmm...a 2-1-3 inning for Matsuzaka. Edit: Hey, VA Sox Fan, how'd you like the way I quoted your lineups posts two posts before you made it?
  12. OK, mod crew: we've been using yesterday's thread, and now we've got posts here...which is the Game Thread?
  13. The game is rescheduled. From MLB.com: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080516&content_id=2712455&vkey=news_bos&fext=.jsp&c_id=bos
  14. Gom, sorry--it's actually clearing up around the Bronx as best as I can tell by radar.
