May 17, 200817 yr The Giants were given every opportunity to take this game and didn't do anything. The Sox needed to steal a game like that for the pitchers. Fantastic.
May 17, 200817 yr Hawk freakin called it. Alexei came up big and looked decent at the plate tonight. We could use a nice bat at 2B. Q still is locked in.
May 17, 200817 yr I saw Gavin in the 2nd (I honestly had better things to do. Honestly). His breaking balls looked inconsistent and, when in the zone, s***ty. I'm clueless as to how he threw any amount of shutout innings, let alone 6. Fantastic. HE'S MY BOY.
May 17, 200817 yr probably the ugliest shut-out i've ever seen but i'll take it edit: that homerun swing alexei had was absolutely beautiful, i must say. Edited May 17, 200817 yr by joesaiditstrue
May 17, 200817 yr I have no idea how Floyd pitched 6 shutout innings. Oh wait -- the Giants lineup sucks worse than the Sox' even. A good team punishes Floyd for the dozen or so hanging breaking balls he left up and over the plate. A bad team fouls them off or makes outs and that's what the Giants did. Credit Gavin for having the guts to keep throwing strikes though. He smartly realized that only way the Giants were going to get a big inning is if he gave it to them with walks. Turns out they couldn't even get a run. Sox' inability to hit LHP is ridiculous. Perhaps Ramirez will find something against them. I have to say, other than Cabrera and Uribe back to back I'm enjoying the new lineup, feels much more balanced all the way through.

He misses alot of bats. Gavin had a decent sinker last night which helped him out, I like how he leans on his different fastballs at varying speeds to compensate for having no curve. He was hitting the mid 90's at times.
