Jim should be aiming for the monster the next 4 games.

jimmy came to swing

No it's not that. The 3rd base umpire blew a call at 3rd on a steal by Pedroia.

 

which cost him a few pitches cuz he woulda been out of the inning before the youk at bat

youkilis looks like such a clown at the plate. its amazing he ever gets a hit let alone is one of the most productive players in the game

He has that Manny Ramirez (when he was in Boston) and David Ortiz way of batting in that if they dont swing at a strike, then it's not a strike. And god forbid they're out on a called strike three. That just shouldn't happen.

1-0

Jesus, did Paulie suddenly figure out how to run? I'm surprised he made it home on that hit.

peavy scoreless through 5. 80 pitches. not sure if he'll be back out there for the 6th

Lexi just fannin' at it.

lexi gets the job done

 

2-0

peavy scoreless through 5. 80 pitches. not sure if he'll be back out there for the 6th

good news !

Early 2-0 lead, lots and lots of pitches thrown by Buchholz this inning.

Thought that would at least hit the wall. Good AB though.

AR this year: loads smarter at the plate, loads dumber in the field

 

(position change obviously a part of that)

Getz back yet?

That was a good inning. A couple more just like that would be great!

This is our most likely path for success tonight. Get Jose a lead so he can get people overswinging on his pitcherspitch.

Jeez, Big Fatti might as well not even leave the batters box.

peavy done 5 innings 4 hits 0 runs 2 walks 3 ks 80 pitches 52 strikes 3 groundouts 9 airouts

 

charlotte up 4-0

nice play by che, real nice

credit where it's due, nice play by Alexei. Bay had 2nd stolen for those not watching.

Valentin does not make that play

Hopefully that's a sign of coming improvements from Alexei. Impressive play.

New thread: Brook Fordyce or AJ

If you are gonna pitch around Drew, just throw 4 fastballs outside.
