Dick Allen Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I remember back in 2001 when the Sox were struggling and ready to cut bait with Wells, Ohka was a rumored aquisition from Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaseballNick Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 How fitting that he'll pitch for Charlotte. Ohka pitched a nine-inning perfect game for the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox on June 1, 2000. Ohka retired all 27 batters he faced in a 2-0 win over the Charlotte Knights, and threw only 76 pitches to toss the first nine-inning perfect game in the International League since 1952.

WilliamTell Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 If he starts for the Sox at all this year, except possibly in September if the division has already been decided, you know we'll be having problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Feb 21, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) If he starts for the Sox at all this year, except possibly in September if the division has already been decided, you know we'll be having problems. I hope not and I doubt it. Williams and Ozzie look like they want to go with young pitchers and if their not young then their supposed to be "high-caliber" pitchers. Colon when healthy is a pretty good pitcher before anyone snaps back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
