May 8, 200322 yr hit and runs, three plays at the plate, Thomas batting second. actually a fun game to watch, and not just cause we are winning.
May 8, 200322 yr Author not doing a lot, but they've tried it. definately a different energy level in this game, win or lose.
May 8, 200322 yr the only thing left to do, is have Koch come in and blow them away. Apparently Coop has been working on his delivery and something having to do with his leg kick that was "sapping" the juice out of his fastball
May 8, 200322 yr I guarantee we see Koch in the ninth. We might if Flash gives up a few here....he's scaring me....
May 8, 200322 yr Author 7-2 game, I would have Koch pitch, but now it is 7-4, I keep Marte in. keep Marte in and have Koch pitch tomorrow no matter what. you throw in Koch, he struggles, we are in big trouble cause we won't have Marte to go to.
May 8, 200322 yr Yep, Marte will stay in now, mainly because three of the next four hitters are lefties.
May 8, 200322 yr This is why Graffanino has to start against lefties all the time...get him in the lineup
May 8, 200322 yr Author yeah, BIG insurance runs. insurances runs in the last at bat is one thing good teams do. very big run.
May 8, 200322 yr I tell you all one thing, this has to be the most enjoying game I've seen the Sox play in a long long time. They had a ton of baserunners, were hitting the ball opposite field all night, were in motion a ton and had good pitching (As long as we get through it in the ninth alright). Damn, I'm feeling a lot better about this team mainly because if Frank can keep hitting, then this team will be just fine. Everyone showed a much better approach as well, now they just have to keep repeating it. This could be a game that sparks a big winning streak.
May 8, 200322 yr This is why Graffanino has to start against lefties all the time...get him in the lineup Exactly. In this case I think D'Ang was benched because of his error. Otherwise D'ang is a better player against lefties.

Could be the team is inspired because they know KW is history?
May 8, 200322 yr It'd be great if we could take 2/3 from Seattle somehow...then i think we'd really be onto something. Good to see the barrage of runs and hits tonight, finally!

One step at a time though. Finish this one, then beat Oakland tomorrow then go into Seattle. It would be huge though. I predicted we'd go 4-2 on the swing, but we'll have to wait and see.

Could be the team is inspired because they know KW is history? No, I'm thinking it's because Manuel is actually managing again. You think KW would have anything to do with a lineup where 7 guys hit out of place? I don't think so. Only JM would do something as crazy as that.
