nasty pitch

Griffey has looked awful up there.

Good players adapt as they age and skill set changes.

Griff still swings like he's 25

 

Poor Jr... nice throw in the Twins game, but he is a shadow of his former self. That was a pitiful atbat.

Balfour warming.

If the Sox cant score more than 3 runs does it matter if Richard or Vaz pitched?

 

At least with Richard he can get some confidence and save our bullpen because this was our worst match up. The next 3 games is where we have the edge.

 

I'd say Kazmir vs Buehrle is a worse matchup. Kazmir is a lefty which means Thome is rendered useless along with AJ and probably Griffey. I wonder what Wise looks like against lefties as well. Anyway, I would've started Buehrle again on 3 days rest and leave Javy in there the 2nd game to get blasted. I honestly think whoever wins tomorrow is going to win like 2-1.

Brutal at bat for Griffey...

Do the Rays fans know that a foul ball on strike two is not an out?

 

Probably not, mostly bandwagoners at the game.

Sox dont pay all of Javy's contract.

 

Yankees pay some, AZ pay some.

 

But I dont know the exact numbers, im pretty sure that Kalapse knows them haha

That was for Javy's last contract. We've extended him since then.

Sox signed him to a new contract.

Isn't Javy pitching on a new contract we gave him? I don't think NY or AZ are paying anything.

we're going to win this game

The Orioles would be a decent bet.

 

Maybe go after Roberts with Vazquez as one of the main pieces.

 

 

Why would the Orioles trade one of their most popular players for a pitcher with almost no upside, besides eating up innings as a 4/5 starter and making a few persistent Roto League owners happy with his strikeouts? Especially at his salary. Just doesn't make sense for Baltimore. Nobody has gotten him to change his career-long trajectory of not pitching very well under pressure. He just looks defeated...maybe he's not even on the ALCS roster if we go there. But it's a tremendous off-season dilemma for Williams to get another GM to take a risk without us having to subsidize his contract.

3-1 to Alexei. Don't help him out.

Bull.f***ing.s***.

 

Go back and read the Vazquez starting Game 1. Most everyone said it was the right call, and it made sense.

 

Players need to preform.

 

 

Whatever you say. Players DO need to perform, but at the same time, Javy has almost never performed in the clutch. So for anybody to be surprised at his performance today is just a case of having your head in the sand.

My bad I thought he was still on the last contract haha

 

 

Alexei wanted something to hit hahaha

Ok, now we have to do something here...

Alexei walks. Tying run at the plate with one out.

Ball 4. 2 on. 1 out. Let's do it.

Do you think Harold Reynolds even knows Alexei's name?

Come on, AJ. Make me pick my jaw off the floor.

our favorite thing in the world ties this game up...... just saying.

HA, Alexei pissed about walking, flings the bat.

Missle walks. I think he needs to give Griff a lesson on pitch selection.
