Does Thome hit CC pretty well? Surprised he's hitting 3rd against a tough lefty.

Pretty much one of him or Pods has to be in the line up.

I'm picturing an 0-4 night with 3 Ks from Thome. Might be better suited a bit lower in the lineup.

Thome does nothing but hit homeruns off of CC. The stat is kind of ridiculous, he just annihilates CC or strikes out

Oh good then. I just assumed he had awful career numbers against him.

Thome is hitting .167 off CC in 24AB. He has 4 home runs and 11k's.

Ya buts its not very good. He is like 5-40 with 5 homers. Something awful...I'll go look it up.

Well there you have it. I thought it was worse then 4-24...5-40 wasnt way off though.

I will once again change my position on this. He should bat 5th or 6th.

You seem kinda flipy flopy on where to bat Thome. Let's get some straight talk.

these dreary rainy conditions are going to seriously impact our aggressive running game.

Looks like AJ is the #3 hitter versus righties and TCQ versus lefties.

That was Steve's suggested lineup. Not an actual one.

Buerhle will beat C.C. for the first time in his career tonite! I could feel it!! I have a feeling the Sox will do really well this series.

win

Tonights line up according to Reifort

 

nix4, beckham5, thome dh, pk3, jd9, q 7, rios8, ram6, castro2.

Couple things: 1: Mark better locate tonight. 2: We better catch the damn ball. Otherwise this game will be over by the 4th inning. This Yankee lineup is no joke.

This made me laugh. Sox have hit CC well at times over the years - this is a very winnable game.

Not a big fan of stacking your lineup with righties against lefties, especially tough ones that have been around a while. Sabathia may like to face lefties more, but facing righties 8 of 9 times through a lineup can become pretty easy.

Excellent AB for Thome. So glad he's batting 3rd today.

whatever you do, DON'T SWING.

Thank God I'm leaving the house. This looks like it's going to get ugly.
