A Sox win would be nice
Tampa and the MFY are winning.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Evening All
Go Sox!
pfffffft good for MFY & Tampa—the Sox have them where they want them…I think
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

Good evening
The Sox play more home games than the Rays or MFY. So, in a sense, they do have them where they want them.

The MFY seem to be home every series. I was surprised to see they head to Boston this week
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

I live in NY
And it seems that way here too.
The Sox and Texas have played the most road games in the AL so far

Doesn't it seem like Ellsbury starts every AB down 0-2?
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Pedroia is a machine
A hit in 23 of his last 24 games.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
He should be leading off
Once Papi gets back. Move Ells to the bottom of the order until he ups his game.
Agreed

Ichiro & Ibanez looked kinda bad

Something remarkable has happened
with Jon Lester. I used to dread his starts. Now he’s arguably our best starter. Beckett’s been bad of late, and every Matsuzaka start is an adventure (lasting 5 innings with 6+ walks, at least two bases loaded jams, and typically two or fewer runs).
Said it once, I'll say it again
Lester’s my favorite Sox starter right now.
Beckett's problem this year has been HR
He has allowed 15 so far this year, compared to 17 all of last year. Otherwise, his numbers are very similar:
BAA – .248 (‘08) .245 (‘07)
K/9 – 8.48 (‘08) 8.70 (‘07)
P/PA – 3.78 (‘08) 3.78 (‘07)
#P/IP – 15.6 (‘08) 15.5 (‘07)
That said, I do look forward to watching Lester. Sometimes you have to take your lumps and let young pitchers develop. I’ve also been very impressed with Wake so far. Aside from Buchholz so far, the starters really haven’t been a problem. While I think Buchholz will be a special pitcher, it probably won’t be this year.

And Coco is yet to bat.
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.

I’d rather let the pitcher hit instead of him.

Does anyone have Lowrie's minor league splits?
Is he a better left-handed or right-handed hitter?
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
This season
Vs. righties: .250/.338/.456/.793
Vs. lefties: .277/.370/.423/.793
Let’s call it even. :)

From Sons of Sam Horn
“I have more raw pop from the right side and am more consistent from the left. I’m natural from the right, but of course get more left-handed at-bats. Right now I’m trying as hard as I can to be consistently the same each way. If your swing is the same from each side, you can think the same way up at the plate—you can always be making the same adjustments. The hardest thing about being a switch hitter is keeping both perfect. It takes a lot of swings to get your stroke where you want it to be, and a switch-hitter has to take twice as many to do that.” – Jed Lowrie, 7/25/05
If that's how Ells has to get on base
So be it.
Agreed
I don’t care how he gets on.

Pedroia really has surprised me this year with his amount of homers
I don’t expect that from Ellsbury, but he should be able to at least get on base on the same rate, or anything around.

Ellsbury was a good minor league hitter
He hit 313 AVG/.389 OBP/.425 SLG in 3 minor league seasons.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
by Drugs Delaney on Jul 21, 2008 11:05 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah
The bad thing about Ells is that he doesn’t have a lot of power, not only for homers but for 2Bs as well. Thank god that when he’s on, he can steal bases at will.
I think he’ll be alright. I wouldn’t take him from the line-up, but I don’t think he should lead off for some time.

So
Papi got 2 hits earlier today, and also had a walk. No homers, but he’s nearly back.

A 3-pitch K to start the 3rd
Lester has 4 Ks through 2.1 IP.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Wow, great K by Lester
Not that Bloomquist is a great player, but Lester got back very well after falling in the count.
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.
Lester strands Betancourt.
On NESN they showed Ichiro’s #s with RISP, and they seemed bad – .212 avg. But his OBP is actually really good in those situations, .393. No slugging to speak of with RISP (.242).
Other teams probably pitch around him
The rest of the M’s line-up isn’t very scary.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Dodgers also up by a bunch
Even the Nats scored a shitload of runs the other day. Let’s hope the Sox are saving those for the series against the MFY.

This is a really bad theme thats seems to be repeating itself. Mediocre to crappy pitchers all look like Cy Young winners when they pitch against the sox on the road. How many more 1st pitch right across before someone swings at one.

Mariners ball
This M’s line-up is so bad that they need a new name for the style of play. It’s not quite small ball, it’s a little worse. M’s ball is all about not getting the first dude on base, then the second one hit a single just to give the fans some hope, and the third one hits into a DP.

Are a pretty integral part of being a good pitcher. So if he’s throwing more strikes it can be assumed that he has improved overall.

He is throwing harder this year
His stuff is better. His fastball used to always be up in the zone. Now, he changes the hitter’s eye level. His cutter is much better, and he spots his curve well.

Strikes two and three were frickin nasty.
Besides, Tek has always sucked 1) with two strikes, and 2) with the bases loaded. Combine the two, and there’s basically no hope.

Coco on base again
OBP juggernaut.
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.

There's some f'n momentum
The Sox brass must’ve talked to him about momentum.

Ellsbury has a high MSI lately
MSI = Momentum Sucking Index
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Seriously am so ready for Youks or Drew (only) to take over the leadoff spot.

If Drew (.405 OBP) is willing, I think its got to be him.

But I want Drew behind Manny.

I still reckon.
Dusty then Drew. c’mon with Papi, Manny and Youk next, that’s a 6 runs a game team right there.
M's announcer just said we have a good pen
After showing a shot of Paps and Oki. Is he seeing something I don’t?
Or read stat sheets

Now let’s get a DP and get out of the inning.

Off the shin
Ouch

Loaded now
Do not bring Oki in to face Ibanez.
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.
I agree
Paps has to come in for 5 outs here

by Drugs Delaney on Jul 22, 2008 12:45 AM EDT up reply actions
he only needs to get out of this.
If he holds the 4 run lead, let someone else throw the 9th. As said before, with Dice-K tomorrow, we will need him for at least 1 innings
This seems sensible, but too scary to actually do.

Crisp on base again
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.
The bottom of the order
On base 10 times in 14 plate appearances, 1 HR 4 RBI.

1 more out to go

Game.
Nice victory for the Sox. I’m so happy they won. Great performance by Lester (minus the abortive 8th), and Paps. Lowrie solidified his hold on SS.
Game
Yay!
