Betemit's getting himself in the doghouse of many Sox fans.

Garza might punch this umpire on his way off the field.

Good job with the sac fly by PK! 4-0

Dye misses a homer by a few feet. We have to get at least one run in here.

The patience from this team is unlike anything we've seen in a while.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 07:56 PM) they aren't good, hittable fastballs though, they're most often off the plate inside He's crushing the ball....no issues at all with his approach.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 06:55 PM) Quentin not seeing any hittable fastballs lately, hopefully he'll adjust and just take the walks that everyone is pretty much giving him He's still getting first pitch fastballs on a frequent basis.

Blah...another double play. Lillibridge needs to be in motion when he's on the bases.

QUOTE (tommy @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 06:50 PM) Getz had a good day or two, that's about it. Ozzie's done a GREAT job handling Getz at the plate this season by putting on hit-and-run whenever possible.

I know I've missed a few games on tv, but has Getz hit any balls hard this season?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 06:41 PM) Well...if you're going to get on Betemit, you have to get on Brian Anderson for never picking up a runner from scoring position. But it would have been nice to add a run or two. You don't expect Floyd to pitch a shutout in the Dome. Anderson's going to have to be selective with this new patient approach. It's great when leading off an inning, but with RISP, you can't get down in the hole by letting good pitches to hit go.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 06:39 PM) WB not bunting is bulls*** , Sox have a chance to KO TB and he hits into a DP. He has shown me nothing this year! The chances of a successful bunt there are less than the chances of hitting into a double play.

Wasted opportunity...get your head out of your ass Betemit!

AJP stays hot...1st and 2nd, no outs for the struggling Betemit. Don't bunt here with PK on 2nd!

Great eye by PK...love seeing our guys lay off the 3-2 offspeed pitch.

The shift costs Tampa the double play. 3-0 Sox

Tightness in right quad for Upton

Loaded for Thome...make him get that fastball down in the zone.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 06:09 PM) I think that's the same thing that happened to Sweeney a couple years ago wasn't it? Exactly

2 on for CQ...nice job by Lillibridge.

The biggest thing Getz has to do to stay in the big leagues is turn on that inside fastball. The scouts are definitely reporting that if you pitch him inside, he will chase that pitch all day and not hit it with authority.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 07:05 PM) That ball was sharply hit, if it passed Garza it probably would've gone up the middle. I don't think it would've been a DP. They were shading PK right up the middle.

Great AB by Anderson to lead off the inning. Time for the Getz hit and run?

Adam Jones left the Orioles game with hamstring issues. Could be good news for Sox.

Wow, that 1-2 pitch to Zobrist was a blatant strike. Strike 4 gets him
