Ortiz bombed yet another today

Unless I read anything wrong. He’s coming back.

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.

Ellsbury needs to be getting on base

He should start bunting more often. When was his last stolen base?

He's not doing anything

Why not start Moss or Casey, and rest Ells a bit… I don’t know.

Not him at all. Though sometimes I think he should work on taking something off his FB from time-to-time. Not a change, exactly, but…

Which is sort of nice. Aar has some good stuff, he just doesn’t have the control to go with it.

He still only has 135 big-league innings. 26 years old.

A little more control and he’s top-choice for some tough 7th/8th inning spots.

Y'know.

It needs to be said. Wake is clearly as comfortable with Cash as he was with Belli.

As long as Wake wants to pitch, we might need to keep this cat around.

I think he looks even more comfortable

I don’t have the stats right now to back this up, but I think we’ve seen far fewer WPs/PBs/BBs/HBPs from Wake this season.

by soxaholic on Jul 20, 2008 7:43 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'd actually guess the WPs/PBs are about the usual

Belli was pretty good at blocking the plate, one of the few things Tek still does well on a consistent basis.

by 0157H7 on Jul 20, 2008 7:45 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Absolutely

Though I remember Belli being more than competent at controlling the running game when he had to fill in for Tek with other pitchers.

Yea just looking on Baseball Reference

I’m wrong about the WPs, BBs, and HBPs. But one thing that has been way down is the hits, which in turn negate a lot of those other baserunners.

Crisp, Cash and Ells

Oh, I wouldn’t want to be Rodriguez.

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.

PH Sean Casey for Cash.

Heck. Maybe PH Moss for Crisp.

We should just stop playing road games.

If we didn't win a game at road, but somehow win 'em all at Fenway

And start playing in the NL West, we could still make the POs.

At least the ESPYs are up next. (Shoots self in head.)

Word

I’m sorry if anyone likes that award, but I’d rather die than watch the ESPYs.

No PH for Coco

Does Tito know something we don’t?

Thinks Coco

Is more likely to work the walk from K-Rod. Given rookie nerves, he MAY be correct.

I agree

Although they both blew their own leads.

Game

I HATE THE ANGELS. When under stress, I repeat myself… When under stress, I repeat myself… :)

Despite playing them a lot lately, I was relatively okay with the Angels.

Then I read HH for the first time. Suddenly…

I've always hated the Angels

Even if only because the idea of the team idol being Garret Motherf*cking Anderson is all too fucked up. Then I also read HH last season. Now I hate ‘em nearly as much as I hate the Yanks, which is saying a lot.

GA is not the team idol

If you’re gonna talk shit after beating us for 9 consecutive games in October, then at least study first.

GA is not the team idol anymore?

Oh, good for you guys, because he was the team’s franchise player for many years and you know it. And he was never quite that good.

In Carl Johnson's defense (And I imagine this is the last time I will do this)

Vlad has kind of been the face of that franchise since he signed. Figgins and K-Rod both probably have bigger claims to fame out there now than GA as well.

the last time GA was the team idol

the Sox hadn’t won a World Series in 80 years

Thanks for the info

Who cares?

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

I could almost lather, rinse, repeat my GS from last night.

“Wake in control through 7. Team takes field for bottom of 8th. Ka-boom.”

The good thing about it was Wake's first 7 inning

Other than that, it was an awful game.
