bjm676 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I'll be there tonight. Looking forward to it. Let's hope that Jose's stay on the DL helps him return to early season form. It will be HUGE. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) Two huge keys tonight: Be patient with Dice-K as he walks lots of hitters, but does not give up many hits. And Jose has to be first pitch strike as the Red Sox won't be chasing pitches unless they are behind in the count. Tonight would be a nice night for Wise because Dice-K is not especially quick to home and lefties hit appreciably better against him than righties but there is probably no room for him to start. So you need Swish, Thome and Griffey in the lineup. Konerko has been hitting better, but he is not a better matchup tonight than the lefties.  So should be lineup tonight: OC (SS), AJ ©, Q (RF), Dye (RF), Thome (DH), Griffey (CF), Alexei (2b), Swish (1b), Uribe (3b).

beck72 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I have a nice feeling about Jose-7 innings with 2 runs allowed. Â Is it just me or does the Boston lineup look a whole lot less dangerous without Manny in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely not just you. They still have a very good lineup and Jason Bay is a very good player, but the entire dynamic of their lineup is different without Manny. Hopefully Jose has his good stuff tonight and is fresh after the DL time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 On paper this is a huge pitching mismatch tonight. So maybe we'll win cause we've lost a few of those lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Guillen was emphatic when asked whether Contreras will be on a pitch count. "If you're on a pitch count, you're not in a pennant race," he said. "[We're] in a pennant race, we need a win. We don't need to build people. It's too late to build guys. We need wins and whoever's out there to win is going to be out there."   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
