When you have a four run cushion

You gotta throw strikes. Let your defense make some outs.

christ. the red sox are true gamers.

down by 3 runs, they fight their way back to take the lead against the hapless baltimore orioles. dustin pedroia PLOINKED by a Cabrera offering. JD Drew punishes Cabrera by taking him deep to right field. That’s what you get for plunking Pedroia. In fact, for good measure – RAMIREZ takes Cabrera deep as well – his 15th for the year. The Red Sox go on to win this game. It’s good times in Beantown, as the Boston Celtics are also reigning supreme. Might as well call it title town.

I just wrote the script for tomorrow’s ESPN segment.

Maybe followed by a segment about how Manny's been hot since getting past 500

And at his current rate he should end the season with about 112 HR’s.

to danny's credit

he came right back and got the next 3. and his pitches looked decent. 95mph with movement.

it’s not a QS, but he’s not pitching badly either. boston has a pretty good offense after all.

by zknower on Jun 10, 2008 8:03 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

he's had a reaaaaal tough time "sinking" his pitches today

he’s had a couple dominating sequences.. but most of the game he’s been pitching to an imaginary yao ming

Short version

1) Bad Danny showed up.
2) 1-0 PHN, but Danny gutted it out.
3) The O’s offense for the week showed up. 4-1 good guys
4) Bad Danny comes back. Boo, Bad Danny. Back to back by JD Drew and Manny. Boo PHN.
5) The O’s offense for NEXT week showed up early as Oki came in. I’m guessing Terry lost a bet and the pay off was he had to bring Oki in against us. 7-6 good guys.
6) Sarfate is dealin’.

That’s where we are…

How many outs did Sarfate piotch?

ChadBrad and Walker were, what, 1 batter each? Still available tomorrow.

Yeah they are still available

But any time you use a reliever you take a little bit out of him for the next day. They are in the mindset of only going 2-3 outs at most anyways, so when you get them up and have them warm up for half an inning then go on the mound and then pitch the inning it takes a little bit out of them.
