Guillen probably would have pinch run for Dunn. Good move by Ventura leaving him in.

Swung at ball four, but no choice with Rios batting behind him.

Fukudome wouldn't have faced Adams if he was replacing Lillibridge, the Rangers would have brought in that lefty kid. And then Dunn would have to face the Lefty as well.

 

I don't think they had a lefty up

Still, it would have been his big league debut.

 

You hope he gets nervous and leaves one out over the plate for Dunn, in that case.

I'd rather have Fukudome face "some kid" lefty, than Mike Adams. Sometimes lefty/lefty match-ups can be a bit overrated.

Matt looks like he's lived in a cave all winter.

Robbie Ross, rookie, was tossing then.

 

Waiting to make his MLB debut.

Adams is probably a better pitcher than any lefty that they have. Then you could have used Viciedo against their weak lefty.

 

Great so I have to watch Yu Darvish pitch on Monday with my friend. Who thinks this guy is booked for a HOF career.

Viciedo should not PH for Dunn.

Viciedo should not PH for Dunn. EVER

 

Viciedo should not PH for Dunn.

He would have pinch hit for Fuku. Fuku becomes the pawn. haha!

 

I hope Ventura likes to use his back-up catcher to ph a lot more than Ozzie did.

Outside of De Aza's blunder, our defense looks pretty damn good.

So, the Sox burn their backup OF's all at once, and thus have no one to PH for Rios?

I think some of the managers here need to change the difficulty level on their xbox's.

Viciedo should not PH for Dunn.

 

Isn't it nice to get to say that this year

Just got home. How did Peavy look?

Eh...that's one I don't blame Ozzie for.

 

Plus, it's not like Flowers has hit poorly tonight. He just had a pitcher in the way.

Um, keep pitching him there Matt

I wouldn't be surprised at all. I think he's going to tear up the AL and make Texas forget who CJ Wilson was.

C+

Eh. Lotta sliders, got squeezed some on the corners, shoulda given up fewer runs than he did but a big De Aza 2 base error hurt, didn't wow or overpower anyone but got outs, found more of a groove towards the end.

Not good at first but settled down in the 5th and 6th. Low 90s. Slider wasn't fooling anyone early but did better later on.
