Beck-mania. Sox @ O's, 7:05 EDT

by Allen Chace on May 13, 2008 6:44 PM EDT in Open Thread Comment 167 comments

Boston Red Sox @ Baltimore Orioles

	W-L	ERA	WHIP	K	BB
2008 - Josh Beckett	4-2	3.70	0.95	42	8

	W-L	ERA	WHIP	K	BB
2008 - Jeremy Guthrie	1-3	4.32	1.26	32	16

Guthrie hasn't had a really bad start since Opening Day. He was...not great last time out vs. the A's (and um, how the F are they doing it, btw?).

Lineups:

Lineup

Boston Red Sox @ Baltimore Orioles

05/13/08 7:05 PM EDT

Boston Red Sox	Baltimore Orioles
Coco Crisp - CF	Brian Roberts - 2B
Dustin Pedroia - 2B	Freddie Bynum - SS
David Ortiz - DH	Nick Markakis - RF
Manny Ramirez - LF	Aubrey Huff - 3B
Mike Lowell - 3B	Kevin Millar - 1B
Kevin Youkilis - 1B	Luke Scott - DH
J.D. Drew - RF	Adam Jones - CF
Jason Varitek - C	Jay Payton - LF
Alex Cora - SS	Guillermo Quiroz - C

Notes:

Jed Lowrie's return to Pawtucket? 2/3, HR, 2 BB, 2 RBI
Speaking of Pawtucket, a minor "position battle" to note: September's PR and "Being"-caddy in LF. Jonathan Van Every? or Sean Danielson?
Make sure to send the good vibes out to Tito. His mother-in-law passed away Monday night. (via Extra Bases)

And I don’t know why. Always pisses me off with his SBs. Hopefully that’s how Ells is/will be to other teams.

And, that’s a good defensive OF they’ve got out there today.

Btw. Coco's stomach better be upset

to the degree where it’s trying to separate itself from his body and find some ladies in the bleachers. Otherwise, sack up. Pardon the crudeness, please, but c’mon.

I was thinking the same thing;

not exactly the same thing but Crisp should be really, really sick considering

This could turn out all right for the O's.

But anyone else surprised as hell that Guthrie even started the 7th, much less got two hitters?

Buch did the same earlier

Remember that great game he was having, then he started the 8th, gave up a single, then… Well, it didn’t end well for us…

Who thinks they can pull it out? I guess I’m not really paying enough attention, I get much more pessimistic when I watch and see all the runners stranded each inning. Writing a paper and baseball dont necc mix.
