He did a helluva job considering he waited out that 55 minute rain delay and one at the beginning of the game too.

That's what I'm getting at. He really shouldn't have been out there pitching but he wasn't a disaster.

in ST, most of us would be OK with him just hanging tough against a lineup like this. right now however, we're all looking at this kid wanting him to be an ace

 

really tonight shows though how much of his problem seems to be mental. 1st inning and then again when first coming out of the rain delay... relaxed, low pressure, doing just fine.

I love when Damon strikes out on a check swing.

Ramirez now in center , Uribe at 2nd and Swisher in right or left ?

this is the first time I've seen Thornton pitch all year, and I've watched most games.

I also forgot to mention if Dye nails Giambi at the plate like he should have that 3 run inning doesn't happen.

I like Uribe as a defensive sub.

I mean, putting Uribe in the game right now I'm fine with, but if they're going to change CFs for defensive reasons it really should be Anderson.

And here comes the 2 out thunder.

I missed that, mercifully.

He keeps falling behind these hitters, and they can key hole him.

Linebrink time. These guys just can't get the 3rd out.

Linebrink coming in after Thorton BB's Godzilla.

thornton is just a GOOOOD time!!!!

 

we're about to see one bullpen totally outclass another

Which one?

Ha Yankees announcers talking about Linebrink's contract shaking the foundations of baseball. Thats laughable considering their payroll.

Which one?

 

 

do I need to answer??

OMG

 

Our pen has been bad vs the Yankees.

0-2, then we pussy foot around it. Then the ump squeezes us, and now its a tie game.

 

 

 

Ha, what a disaster. Terrible pitch selection. Linebrink missed his spot by a mile. The sad thing is Logan should be in to face Cano.

outclassed!

Bullpen has been lookin good.

OMG

 

Our pen has been bad vs the Yankees.

 

Linebrink in particular hasn't been very good over the past week and a half or so.

 

Well there goes Gavin's W... although W-L record for pitchers is a completely worthless stat.

Another impressive Sox pitcher with 92 mph fastball....yawn!
