Morneau homers

Come on Beckett, what’s wrong with you?

Livan doesn’t look good. His stuff is not great, and I’m guessing the Sox will jack him.

In that vein

He needs to spend more time with Mike Timlin.

You'll probably be calling him Pawtucket Red Sox RP Craig Hansen

When Masterson is ready…

"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"

by Allen Chace on Jul 9, 2008 3:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Pawtucket

It might do him good. He has the same problem Lester had: Great stuff, but he just doesn’t trust it enough. If sending him to Pawtucket helps in that matter, than we should do just that. Otherwise, force Timlin to retire or DFA him or something like that. I know the FO has too much respect for Timlin, and I do too. But we need better arms coming from the pen.

The stuff was there in the 9th inning.

Whether that’s a blip or not, who knows…

He looked great on AAA, I heard

Let’s hope he’s back or even close to his old form.

Exactly.

He’s never going to be the 8th inning guy again, or maybe even first-choice in the 7th. But nothing about today’s outing was cringeworthy at all. Let’s hope he can build on it.

Yep

If Timlin start throwing the good stuff again, it could buy us some time with the young relievers (Masterson, Hansen, Bard, and the others), which would be big.

I thought Lopez did well

He was just left in for far too long. I mean 37 pitches is alot for him. He started out very strong and toward the end he was leaving pitches up in the zone.

Game

First of all, the pen was shaky but didn’t allow a run, which is great. I think Oki is coming back to his old form, so things are looking better yet again in the pen.

I’d like to see more of Aar. It seems that he only pitches in games I’m not watching. Only because I like saying ‘Aar’, I guess.

Oh, 18 runs is sweet. :)

Best game I never saw

Actually, I saw one inning.

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

The game actually started very ugly

The Sox weren’t hit Hernandez well enough, and he sucks. Also, Beckett didn’t have one of his best starts. It only got really beautiful when their bullpen came into the game. :)
