Bard for a 2 inning save, no?

Or is he about to get lit up and we’re gonna lose 14-13?

by Raj Ghetia on Apr 26, 2010 10:52 PM EDT reply actions  

seriously

the entire staff is awful right now…

I bet a better pitching coach could fix

Lester
Beckett
Papelbon
Oki
MDC
Lackey

not all that many years

he inherited a good pitching staff and who has improved?

Right now the best pitcher from the 2009 Red Sox staff is…Brad Penny? And Farrell couldn’t figure out what to do with him?

You know what we could have used a little earlier?

A hidden ball trick.

No way they see that coming in a 20+ run game.

We've lost some games we should have won

It evens out. I never feel guilty for a win. That said, we haven’t won anything yet.

Looks like...

we’ve given up 47 hits over the past 3 games

by AJBlue7 on Apr 26, 2010 11:01 PM EDT reply actions  

14 errors

so far this year…that’s not too bad I guess…..sarcasm implied.

by AJBlue7 on Apr 26, 2010 11:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

To be fair, we have a high UZR.

Fun fact, though, is that we have a -12 DRS…10 of which are from stolen bases!

by Ben Buchanan on Apr 26, 2010 11:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

8 of those errors are from the starters

2 from pitchers, and the rest from reserves.

Geez

Between Beckett, Oki, and Lowell (8 runners stranded out of the clean-up spot) the Sox are lucky to have a lead.

In the 1st inning

If Papi had a game like this, everyone would kill him.

Any pitcher in Pawtucket with an option year left

had better be ready to get on an airplane out of the country in the morning.
We will need warm bodies in the bullpen to finish this series.

Ed Price tweet

Josh Beckett: 7.22 ERA, 37 H and 13 BB in 28.2 IP. Josh Beckett in April 2009: 7.22 ERA, 36 H and 16 BB in 28.2 IP.

Tonight’s episode of “Heart Attack Saves” was pre-empted by something more important.

by Raj Ghetia on Apr 26, 2010 11:16 PM EDT reply actions  

the silly 'w' statistic

Schoenweis gets a ‘w’ for pitching 1/3 of an inning, giving up 2 hits and a HR.

I think the scorer could have used his discretion and given the ‘w’ to MDC.
