No Beckett for us today--his start has been scratched due to illness--so we get Ryne Miller instead. Yeah...Not worth it in anyone's mind, I can't imagine. Oh well.
- Ellsbury
- Pedroia
- Youkilis
- Ortiz
- Hermida
- Scutaro
- Varitek
- Hall
- Reddick
Let's return to some normalcy after last night, shall we? Game should be on NESN, but we all know that's not a guarantee.
Go Sox!

And... scooped on the thread again by Ben Buchanan...
This would’ve never happened back when USG was around.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea /
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown /
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
Aaaaaand spring training just became boring.
UPDATE, 8:20 p.m.: It’s a cut-down day. Those who have left or are packing include pitchers Casey Kelly, Robert Manuel, Kris Johnson and Adam Mills.
UPDATE, 9:50 a.m.: Other players sent down were Jose Iglesias, Lars Anderson, Kyle Weiland, Luis Exposito, Yamaico Navarro and Ryan Kalish.
- Extra Bases

Though it sounds like Lin was curiously left around.

I have it on good authority
That he’ll be taking over in left while Jacoby Ellsbury ventures to a far-off planet to assist in mining Unobtainium.

Will he be back in time for the playoffs?

Yeah
He’ll come in at the last moment riding a wyvern, bringing hope to all the little blue people (that’s right, traded to the Mets).

Mark Wagner and Josh Reddick are all I have left.
Nobody cares about Tug, McDonald, Sanchez, and Velazquez. Give me Jose!

1-2-3 Inning for Slowey

You're kidding me!
MLB.tv sucks. It just skipped a whole half inning. Not that it seems to have been too eventful, but still.

You should get NESN
Even the radio broadcasts are in High-Def!

Come on Tito! You can't be throwing games against the Twins by starting a AA reliever!
The mayor’s cup is at stake! Gotta at least start Tazawa or somethin’!
USG
You kidding, this Miller's a natural
He’s really attacking the strike-zone with his cut-slowball.

One out
On a patented Varitek high fastball. Gets ’em every time… Excuse me, gets HIM every time.

Another double
Miller’s falling down the prospect lists as we speak.

Ryne Miller throws 2 pitches
The meatball, and the dirtball.

Looks at fastballs down the pipe
Swings at changeups in the dirt.
If someone at the plate is looking sloppy~
It’s probably Biiiiiig Papi!
USG
Scouting Report on Ryne Miller
“Closer in college. Good athlete, also played football. Fastball sits at 90-91 mph and tops out at 95 mph. Also makes use of a 12/6 curveball that he can throw in any count, as well as a developing changeup. Control has really improved after struggles in 2008. Came into camp in 2009 in excellent shape and made tremendous strides over the course of the season. "
Personally, I think the scout is confusing him with Manny Delcarmen. Miller today was throwing very bad curveballs into the dirt, and 87-mph fastballs that rarely hit the strike zone.

They do look alike.
I mean, just look! They’re…
Both…
Um…
Wearing hats!

And a perfect inning for Atchison.
Him and Shouse have to be the favorites.

Is it sad that my favorite part of this game
Is that some Yankee fan will see the 3-0 score and think that Beckett got knocked around?
USG
I just turned the game on
I’m surprised to see moving pictures.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Tek down swinging
Good to see he’s in mid-season form already.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Nobody has stolen a base off him yet.
Can’t be mid-season unless they’re stealing bases.

Since it's a Saturday, the game is televised, and the thread is empty, I'm guessing there's nobody looking for significant play-by-play updates.
If there are, just let me know.

Ahem
It’s a Sunday, Mr B.

Should bring MDC to pitch against him, have an epic battle of the Bostonians.

We could probably replace Papi with Lowrie at DH
And not notice a major dropoff in production.

If you listen closely, you can actually hear Ramirez' ticket to the minor leagues being punched.

Which one?
Old RamRam or new RamRam?

The new one
