QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ May 25, 2011 -> 11:38 AM) Smarts, doesn't it? we could use one of those laughers ourselves to keep the pen fresh. G looks good so far. Lots of pressure on him to be good today.

wtf is with the strike zone?

get a load of that CLE score, 14-0 BOS

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2011 -> 11:25 PM) Ron's just coming out to get closer to the white line.

THREE

notice that our hitters take on 2-0 instead of teeing off?

thank you. Sox > Heroin

so sergio has no breaking ball tonight

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 24, 2011 -> 11:01 PM) Can someone give a play by play? since the rain delay every reliever has tried to hand this game to the rangers. Thornton may have just succeeded.

really, go 2-0?

the lead off walk never fails to score.

our pitchers insist on pitching from behind. FU thornton

our turn for a 1,2,3

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2011 -> 10:52 PM) Beckham's stance makes it impossible for him to hit a good fastball. Walker's strategy of having his hands out front and close to his body is crazy. love to see a good hitting coach get his hands on a smart guy like Gordon

I don't think Sale's arm angle is the problem. He can't get the breaking ball over with any consistency.

wow

of course.

a simple base hit blows it open

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 24, 2011 -> 10:28 PM) Wow, Dunn taking some VERY close pitches there... including strike 3

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 24, 2011 -> 10:21 PM) This guys reminds me of Shingo. Sox haven't won a world series this century without a japanese player on the roster.

hawk needs to let go of the 16k sq ft house thing

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2011 -> 10:14 PM) Do you think Sox brass tries to get him to change his arm angle? I hope not. He's been struggling since Spring Training to find his release. At least his velocity has shown improvement, that's the only thing keeping him competitive right now. Like Hawk said, if you can't throw a breaking ball for a strike you're going to get molested in the big leagues.

lead about to be gone I'm afraid...

I'll cut Sale some slack. He was in college this time last year. He should go down for a while and get his mojo back.

I liked it better when Sale was good.
