Okajima Placed On Disabled List With Calf Strain, Felix Doubront Called Up

Hideki Okajima has been placed on the disabled list with a calf strain, and will be replaced by Felix Doubront, who has been called up from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Okajima mentioned some discomfort after another ineffective outing last night, apparently prompting the move. Doubront, after several successful starts in the majors, was recently converted to a reliever for Pawtucket in anticipation of a September call-up. He'll get the opportunity even sooner now, thanks to Okajima's injury.

This is Doubront's first experience as a reliever during his professional career. So far, he has only made one appearance out of the pen, pitching two scoreless innings on August 3, striking out two while allowing only one hit to the Durham Bulls.

Great seats...

hopefully nobody throws a beer on me.

Depends

If you’re sitting near a Duggan or Cassanova you’ll be fine, if it’s one of my old roommates d-bag friends than prepare to be heckled mercilessly.

Either way, Sing Loud and Sing Proud.

Haha no. I'm section 112.

like 150 bucks face, 200 stub hub.

I think I’m safe for the most part haha. Now getting into and out of the stadium……that’s another story completely.

150 bucks? That’s like, nosebleed there I thought? Seems a little cheap for right down the 1B line.

Yeah, that walk might make me nervous. Be safe and good luck.

Most of their tickets aren't all that crazy expensive, just the super up-front ones

although $150 is well above the face value of any publicly available single game seats at Fenway, where people complain about the prices.

Here I go...

This message would be longer if the Sox trade Delcarmen but here I go…

Haha no.

But he most certainly has balls.

There is nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING, worse than a hardcore New York Accent.

……and this is coming from a New Yorker (dad was a Sox fan, raised me on them)

by RockEmSoxEm on Aug 6, 2010 3:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

I saw that a long time ago :) free for Sox fans and he doesn’t take Yankee money lol

by n0va on Aug 6, 2010 3:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

The time for that was a couple months ago.

It doesn’t matter that much now because he’s on the DL.

Fo Shizzle

I’ve loved everything Doubront has done for us this year, especially being a prospect no one talked about, he stepped right in and gave us solid chances during his starts here. It would be almost impossible for him to not be an improvement over Oki.

Now if only we had DFA’ed Oki and made this thing completely official.

Don't get too excited.

Tito won’t use him unless it’s a 20 inning game.

I don't know about that

usually, it’s because he hasn’t seen pitchers before. He’s seen Felix a good amount.

by wolf9309 on Aug 6, 2010 6:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

And when we have two lefties

I’m almost sure Felix gets the call over Richardson

Ah gotcha

I have a suspicion, bearing injury that he won’t be back until rosters expand.

One injury I don’t mind hearing about. Slightly insensitive, but what can I do?

I think we all feel the same.
