I'd rather have Vizquel at 2B over Beckham, Gordon is clueless with a baseball bat.

Please no more Omar.

We can't win a division playing Rios. Just sucks that Oz won't play DeAza.

 

Will Gordon and Hosner go deep off Zach tonight?

Fathom is right. This screams KC 11, Sox 5

I like the lineup except for no DeAza vs. Rios. This is a big game and a big start for ZS - we have to win tonight, and if we do, we could actually sweep a series, perhaps, and finally get OVER .500!

 

 

Since DET is going to be facing the same lame O's that we just feasted on, a win is a must just to keep pace.

And Omar isn't?

That's why Lillibridge at 2B and DeAza in the line-up as the DH works too.

 

The problem is Paulie's injury forces Brent to 1B for the time being.

 

Beckham's defense is better than Omar's now, and he occasionally runs into an offspeed pitch and hits a home,r so he's still a better option than OLDmar.

B ut he plays great defense and great defense saves runs

I like Zach Stewart but I think he may have some issues tonight.

I'll be at the game tonight to root our boys on to a .500 record once again - then the season can begin anew.

 

I just hope for patience at the plate. Hitting Chen is almost like hitting a knuckleballer like Wakefield - you have to be patient, let borderline pitches go past (they wil probably fall out of the zone for a ball), and hammer only the mistakes. Take walks, and take what Chen gives you.

 

Chen can be beat, with the right approach.

 

 

In town for first home game of the year. Hope Zach can do what he did last time. Go Sox!

Watch AJ, Pierre or Paulie.

 

They'll have to take anything pitched on the outside half of the plate (80% of his pitches) and take it to the opposite field.

 

Chen is a little bit similar to Tommy Glavine in the last five years of his career.

So what you're basically saying is that this team has no chance? Bummer.

Beckham is so 0-fer tonight. He'll give us that awesome one armed flail at the slow down and away change-up.

O's may hammer Penny for us - he mostly blows these days.

You're right, that rotation isn't all that much after Verlander.

 

Glad to read the Sox took fielding practice over hitting practice today. Good call, Ozzie.

You're a prognosticator - O's up 2-1 in the 1st.

After Verlander that rotation is garbage.

yeah, no, not what you want to do there

So the guy who had success last start by throwing tons of strikes walks the leadoff batter this time out? Ugly.

classic

Have a feeling Stewart gets blasted tonight. Bad matchup for him

circus music, please

Home crowd sees nothing but s*** that popup dropping is 100% bulls***.

JP should've called them off
