GameThread: Game 3 - Rays @ Red Sox

Tampa Bay Rays at Boston Red Sox, Apr 9, 2009 1:35 PM EDT


Day game because the Red Sox are going to be heading West after this one. It's the rubber game between the Rays and Sox.

Your starters are Daisuke Matsuzaka and Matt Garza:

RED SOX RAYS
NAME D. Matsuzaka
M. Garza
W-L 0-0 0-0
ERA n/a n/a
K/9 n/a n/a
BB/9 n/a n/a

Matsuzaka hasn't had the best history with the Rays. In eight regular season starts in his career, he has a 3.75 ERA but is 2-3 in 48 innings of work. Matsuzaka was 9-3 at home last year in 16 starts.

Garza, in four starts last year against the Sox, was 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA. He had an 8.44 ERA at Fenway Park last season.

Go Sox!

Ray's lineup

looks a little soft today.

Riggens, Aybar, and Gross are all playing

Plus we get to see Matt Joyce for the first time today.

It adds another dimesion to teams

Speed is something that the Redsox have to put more emphasis on and who better than Ellsbury.

we dont NEED to put emphasis on stolen bases

plenty of teams are succesful with out it. We’ve been fine without that much speed. We’re a team focused on OBP and grinding out at bats, something ellsbury needs to adjust to

no it can't

and i agree, but i would rather have him bat ahead of someone who is incapable of moving him over. our middle of the order is capable of moving a guy from first to second or third without the assistance of a stolen base

Somebody's going to have to.

We need baserunners to start the inning.

I may be superstitious, but...

I just realized I was wearing my new Sox cap yesterday and today, but not on Tuesday. It had better not be f’n cursed.

I need to get a new one.

Mine is so old and crusty that I can’t get it on my head without building up a good sweat first. Plus the fact that instead of the navy blue color it once was, it is now some shade of tan-brown.

I had an nice old one that was broken in and everything.

But then the brim completely tore off. Plus, the New Era caps were 60% off.

First pitch to Pena was a bit inside...

And Ball 3 was just under strike 2. Wow, the ump’s blind.

Oki, calm down man.

No, see the ball has to make it to the catcher’s glove.
