GameThread: Red Sox @ Twins - 5/26/09

Boston Red Sox at Minnesota Twins, May 26, 2009 8:10 PM EDT


Game one against the Twins was just a tad bit scary with Jonathan Papelbon and Joe Mauer antics in the 9th. Let's hope game No. 2 goes a little bit smoother for the Red Sox.

Your starters' stats:


W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2009 - Jon Lester 3-4 9 9 0 0 0 0 53.1 68 35 35 10 18 58 5.91 1.61

USG, you said that they name and concept for “Minor Lines” came from another blog, yes? Not to encroach upon your work, but someone should be all creative and come up with an OTM-specific name for it.

Oh, and FMart's up and playing for the Mets.

They DL’d Reyes and Church, and made a trade to get a SS. Could we have put together a package of Lugo, Bailey, and Guzman for one of their million SS prospects?

Man, I really like Span.

He’s fast, got a good-great glove, hits for average (good OBP too).
He’s like Ells, w/o the slugger’s complex.

That was true

I’m not sure Ells has been trying to go deep lately. And yet, his on-base numbers still aren’t great.

by Drugs Delaney on May 26, 2009 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

In May (not counting tonight's game)

Ellsbury is hitting .313 AVG in 96 AB. But his OBP is only .347! That covers most of his current hitting streak (May 1st was the only day this month that Ells hasn’t had a hit).

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

by Drugs Delaney on May 26, 2009 8:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Exactly.

But, maybe the pitchers will start to try to avoid his bat.

by bdalebs on May 26, 2009 8:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

Nah

His hitting streak won’t last forever—and he can’t really hurt you. Ells has no power, and is getting thrown out 25% of the time.

Thanks for the compliments

I went to a very competitive high school, and many of my classmates went to highly selective schools (i.e. Harvard, Yale, Columbia). I didn’t have the grades or the cash for ‘elite’ private schools, but I really enjoyed UMass. It’s in a beautiful area and has a vibrant campus life (leftist protests, all sorts of lectures and extracurricular opportunities).

Good luck with the college application process, especially if you aim for medical school.

I don't know what is wrong with Lester

But he hasn’t looked right all year.

Maybe, if he isn’t right by the time Smoltz gets back give him the Ortiz treatment and some time off.

So who saw that epic collapse of the Rays bullpen last night?

That was something!

Still got text updates about it so I could mess with my friends – until they brought up Papi.

Between him and Youk. At least Papi’s picking up the slack. :)

It's a sad day when I rather see Brad Penny on the mound than Jon Lester

I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.

I rather see anyone on the mound right now..

Jon Halama, Batshit McCracken, Old Pedro Martinez, Eric Gagne… Anyone.

Lester has problems, and it’s very evident. Of his last 11 innings, he has had a runner on 10 of 11. That’s really bad.

Rays down 5-1 in the 8th.

Toronto lost to Baltimore
Yankees just starting.

With Cleveland’s bullpen, you never can tell though. That must quite a gathering of terrible relivers in Cleveland right now.

Remember in '07

in the ALCS, Cleveland’s bullpen was supposed to be terrific. with betancourt, perez, and borowski. What a bust.

by LesterJohn on May 26, 2009 10:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

Borowski sucked even then.

Perez and Betancourt had career years.

That way our bullpen won’t be wasted in a losing effort.

It is. Although, did you know that Tusken Raiders have a leader of each tribe-thingy that is a story teller? He has to memorize every member’s life story, because they don’t have a written language. Also, we had to name the character that we saw in the movie – the one that attacks Luke is Bob. :)

This game reminds me of the Lester loss in Seattle.

Lester seems to get in big trouble after about 70 pitches. I do not know why for certain, but his effectiveness seems to go way down when he reaches that number of pitches. Something to watch out for, but what does it mean for the future? Maybe his stamina is not that good now, so do what? Put him in the pen for medium relief?
