So, Jermaine kilt that ball.

who bats lead off then?

 

Whoever is playing second base.

who bats lead off then?

 

This may sound like a weird question, but how many times does Pods steal a base after getting on base to lead off a game?

who bats lead off then?

 

To be honest, I could see Mack leading off. We certainly wouldn't have much of a dropoff, and the leadoff hitter only really matters at the beginning of the game.

 

I HATE that Hardee's commercial. Shut your mouth New Yorkers.

Freddy looking good, 3 innings and no long ball.

Freddy throws a wiffle ball at Mirabelli.

Just missed the fan deck.

I'm waiting for someone to put one there.

¿Double play, por favor?

 

Well, got the DP ball.

so close.

That's exactly why I asked how many times Pods led off a game, got on base, and then stole. That's about the only thing that would be different than someone else leading off. I really doubt he's done that many times.

 

Is Frank Thomas and Bill Melton the answer to the trivia question?

for some reason, I don't think it's Frank.

Against the pitcher the first time in a game, Pods is batting .253 with 15 SB, according to ESPN.com.

24 of 25 in stolen bases against Garcia? That's f***ing pathetic. That is terrible.

When I said to keep it down Freddy, I'd still like it to pass home plate.

 

HE GONE

That's actually more SB's than I figured for the 1st, but I still don't think it would be much of a dropoff from Pods to Mackowiak/Ozuna.

Bill Melton 1971

Dick Allen 1972

Freddy does it again.

 

Ortiz leads off next inning....it's nice not having anyone on when he comes up.

Freddy keeps 'em scoreless through 3.

I thought Frank led the league in the early 90's at some point. Hey, I got half right

He's going to occupy the opposing pitcher's mind a lot more than either Mack or Ozuna. It wasn't that long ago he was up near .300 after starting off very slow. I think Pods's value will never be fully measured by statistics.

Freddy does it again.

I thought Youkalis was the big out there. If he walked him, that inning could have deteriorated quickly.

Glad to see peace in the game thread right now.

I will kill you.

Anyone got a score update, I would rather read this then flip between scoreboards.

 

Thanks.

Pods is frustrating right now

At least he didn't take it looking.

 

1-0 Sox, bottom 3.
