Yup, I agree. I didn't want to be a pessimist last night, but going up against a rookie LHP worried me. We always struggle against rookie pitchers, and we're very lefty heavy. Pair that with Buch's recent struggles and you've got a recipe for a loss.
Tonight, though, things are different. Our line up hits .316 off of Guthrie. Guthrie is 1-7 with a 4.94 ERA vs BOS, including an 0-2, 5.71 ERA mark in 2010. He's a RHP who should get lit up. Outside of Varitek, Drew has had the least success against Guthrie, and he has a career mark of .296. Ellsbury is a .393 hitter, and Crawford hits .366. Lets start clickin!!!
At least we didn't give up an 8th inning bomb and then see their RF make two webgem catches in the 9th with RISP to lose like the Yankees :dunno:
