Game 29: Red Sox @ Orioles

MLB.tv has it. Play-by-play time!

Though I’m out @ 3:25

on MLB.TV, because it’s on MASN. I’ll be watching as muc as possible, and i’ll put in updates of anything particularly interesting.

Sox can’t make contact early.

pedroia strikes out but reaches 1st

Berken Ks 2 and gets 2 groundouts to first for a 4-out inning. Martinez put up a nice fight though.

I think Drew got him, but the umpire calls him safe.

got a hit that he barely turned into a double

1 down.

Roberts manages to barely get back to second. If it were a little more sharply hit it would’ve been two.

And gets his first K.

and gets a wind-blown double to left

Just took him 5 balls.

GIVE ME MAX RAMIREZ

Or more!

and you know it’s a solid hit if lowell made it to second.

or does reddick look like one of the three musketeers with that facial hair?

The throw beats Drew to the plate, but Wieters can’t hold on as it rolls to the backstop.

2-0

lowell on third

Izturis snags one on the backhand and turns two.

Reimold put on a good AB, but goes down.

Lester, the announcers points out, has the best winning percentage of any pitcher w/ 50 decisions since 1900.

Can you take a hack after the ball is in the glove and run down to first?

Picks up his second strikeout.

Looking sharp

can get used to these two at 2 and 3 this year!

Nice curve, but that’s a ball.

God I hate him and his lack of hustle and heart.

Goes down in 2.1 innings giving up 5 runs.

and with the game as it is, getting back to the grind won’t be so bad

Sox up 5-0 going to the bottom of the third.

Grounder deflects off Lester’s glove, keeping Scutaro from making a play on it. 1st and 2nd for the Orioles with 0 outs.

no way that fastball was 88

Doing himself more harm than good. Scutaro still manages to throw out the runner at first.

The Sox let the run score and get the out at 1st. This is just one of those innings where nobody really does anything worthy of a run, but they get in anyways.

One of the weakest runs I’ve ever seen scores, but Lester limits the damage.

Strikeouts have been his problem for a while.

Pulls up at first with a leadoff single.

1st and 2nd, 0 outs.

And the bases are loaded with 0 outs.

quite the day. Wish he saved this for sunday

5 straight baserunners to start the inning.

Youkilis breaks late, but makes it anyway. That foot/knee/whatever got hit is fine.

Probably one of the pitchers doing sprints. It’s…amusing.

O’s finally putting together some outs.

Scutaro really seems to be enjoying himself. Playoff team allure, or $5 million?

Lester has a scoreless 4th. Reddick K’s to start the 5th.

But It would have been even sweeter if he could have waited until next week. Just sayin’.

now for martinez to get it up to 9 rbi

Pedroia drives one back up the middle for his 3rd hit of the day.

Flies out to the warning track. Gave this one a ride too.

Martinez didn’t quite make it out this time, but not far off

Another 1-2-3 for Lester.

though as the O’s closer, I hope i don’t have to see him pitch too often.

1-2-3 go the Sox.

Gives up a walk to the leadoff man. He’s hitting 94 now.

But damn if Pie doesn’t have wheels. Beats out the DP ball at first.

Almost doubles up Pie at first.

I think he has springs in the bottom of his shoes or something… nice jumping skills

1 weak run against Lester through 6 innings. A pretty strong finish to the spring all things considered.

anyone want him now???

4th trip on the basepaths today as he draws the walk.

10-1

Yay

i like it

was that Embree’s lovely performance actually IMPROVED his ERA. THAT’s how bad it is.
