Around SBN: The Gift Of The 2003 Tigers

Game Thread: 7/12/08 - He's baaaaack as well

Tonight, other than Kevin Cash, we have our best line-up without Ortiz as far as hitting goes:

Red Sox:

 

1. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
3. J.D. Drew, RF
4. Manny Ramirez, LF
5. Mike Lowell, 3B
6. Kevin Youkilis, 1B
7. Sean Casey, DH
8. Jed Lowrie, SS
9. Kevin Cash, C

-- Tim Wakefield, SP



Orioles:

 

1. Brian Roberts, 2B
2. Adam Jones, CF
3. Nick Markakis, RF
4. Aubrey Huff, DH
5. Melvin Mora, 3B
6. Kevin Millar, 1B
7. Luke Scott, LF
8. Ramon Hernandez, C
9. Brandon Fahey, SS

--Radhames Liz, SP

Lowrie looks like a great hitter, I can't explain that. While I don't hate Lugo, I'm happy to see Lowrie in instead of shithead Alex Cora. Go Sox!

Take a seat, Markakis

Wake with the good stuff so far.

It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Yup

A blistering 75 MPH “fastball.”

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Hey, Markakis took it

Last night Buch was throwing around 97, and got hit quite a bit.

When he was spotting well his curve

He looked unhittable. That’s good news. However, he looked a bit like old times Lester. And that’s bad news.

His fastball was sitting in the mid-90s all night

His control was spotty. He looked a bit nervous in the first. He’ll be fine. He has great stuff.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

by Drugs Delaney on Jul 12, 2008 7:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah

I agree he’ll be fine. I think it was a fair enough start. He walked more dudes than he should have, and Roberts owned him. Other than that, his stuff looked as amazing as nearly always in AAA.

Lowrie don’t get a hit in this game, Cora will be the starting SS until Lugo is back? Please, tell me it isn’t so.

I’d let Lowrie start all the time unless he makes lots of errors, or show that he doesn’t have the range to play SS.
