I'd almost rather let Jake try and finish then see Reed in the 9th.

Apparently you aren't getting the message.

 

Never mind.

The only message I am getting is that you are angry for some reason. Relax.

 

 

Way to pitch over the error Jake!!!

Phew.

 

Almost had the curse of 3B rise up again...first Escobar, then Youk.

Phew! What a start by Jake!

Do we give Jake a chance of finishing the game? Reed has looked shaky lately.

Jake doing what Jake does.

He really is awful. He can't even play SS, so I really don't get the big point in having him on the roster. I think the club should pick Font up as the super utility guy and then bring Morel up if he gets his swing back.

If he's healthy, I'm sure Morel is up if only for late inning defense in September.

If he was at 100 pitches, I would have been okay with this. But he's at 114.

I agree. I'd give anyone else a try.

I'm with soxfan1 those types of posts where you people expect the worst are sooooooo annoying and are why I dont really post in game threads anymore...

How many pitches did Jake finish at? He must be one of the most worked pitchers in the game this year. Its freaking disgusting, given his injury history. I will tip my cap to the Peavmeister (and I do realize he's had a few extra days of rest, but man, he must lead the league in starts (along with Verlander) with 115+ pitches).

Maybe Myers to face Willingham and Thornton to face Morneau and Doumit.

Now we have to sweat out Addison facing Willingham and Morneau.

 

Might as well be those guys, as opposed to the pesky piranha-type hitters that got us Monday.

Here's my message:

 

The "he'll give the lead right back" and "we don't have a chance" and "this game is over" posts are annoying and make it unbearable to read the game threads.

 

Is that clear enough for you?

If you eradicated all the posts with scores and scoring plays, if one were to go through Soxtalk gamethreads, there is no way you would think this team wasn't on a pace to lose at least 120 games.

If he wasn't at 114 pitches, I would agree. That being said, I think the error by Youk was a blessing in disguise. I'm happy Reed doesn't ahve to face Maue rnow.

Exactly. 2B defense can be filled with whomever the utility infielder is. In a pinch (due to injury) you can always stick Morel there and morel is a nice upgrade at 3rd late in games (since youk isn't a gold glover).

The game threads are pretty similar to last year, despite the difference in team success.

It better be Reed.

Addison has to be able to go back-to-back days.

Yeah, start the inning with Myers and then go with Matt against Morneau.

PLEASE NO.
