Pumped to see Clayton Richard's debut. Hopefully his amazing whip and k/bb from aaa will carry over into the majors and he can be another lefty stud with a number in the 50's for the sox

Good luck Clayton. Show something and you might stick. We do need pitching help.

 

My feeling is that if Richard pitches well he and Fields are a package going somewhere for a trade.

 

Also CSN stated last night that Crede is out today but Masset is available.

 

I think Dotel, Linebrink and Jenks all pitch today to get their work in regardless of Richard's performance as there is an off day tomorrow.

 

I like the Thome approach of the inside out swing.

Really looking foward to watching Richard at work today. Nothing like watching baseball instead of doing work. I don't feel great about him, but who knows the Rangers don't hit lefties well and Richard keeps it down. When was the last time that pitcher came up and performed well? B-Mac and before that probably Buehrle. Guys who come up from the minors for the Sox usually stink, let's hope that trend reverses. I really hope that Richard creates a contreversy about keeping him in the rotation or Contreras. And Richard is from LaFayette, Ind., so I am sure he will have some family/friends at the game, which could help or hurt I suppose, but probably help and give him a bit more comfort. I would gladly take 5 inn, 2 ER or 6 inn, 3 ER, nothing spectacular, but efficient and keeps the team in the game.

Good luck to Clayton. Always exciting to see a pitcher's major league debut.

I will be there. Hope Richard doesn't spoil a beautiful day.

Give them hell Crazy Clayton. We need a nice ass kicking to go into our series with the Tigers and Twinkies.

Keep us in the game kid, and give us a chance to win! Anything else is a bonus.

He's an Indiana boy

 

 

Let's go Clayton

Does Lance Broadway count? Last year, he pitched in 4 games (1 start), 10.1 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, and 14 Ks. Guess it wasnt sustained enough.

I think the ice is thinning as every game goes by, the BOO birds are starting to come out at the Cell replacing the ever-popular "Paulie" chant. I'm not ready to give up on him quite yet, but if its like this a month from now, then its past concerned. I want to say he's ready to bust out in a big way, and then he goes into his old GIDP self like last night.

SLOW DOWN KID!

Clayton works quick!

Solo shot by Young.

Oops.

Richard needs to relax. Just a little

we aren't in charlotte anymore....

How generous is the gun gameday is using? It had all of Richard's pitches at 91-95, consistently at 93 vs. Kinsler.
