fathom Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 FWIW, my brother saw Hughes pitch last week in the IL playoffs, and he said he was fantastic. K'd 12 in 5 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjshoe04 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 15, 2008 -> 08:26 PM) I didn't want to create a thread for this, but what's everyone's prediction for this 10 game road trip? I'm really hoping 5-5 but I might be satisfied with 4-6 if we took two from the twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 At least the Sox starting pitching has looked good recently. Im pretty sure Ozzie just couldnt burn his bullpen after yesterday, so he was trying to see if Wasserman could get the job done. Sucks that we are tinkering at the end of the season but right now the Sox are running on fumes. They just need to make the playoffs so that they can go out there and put the best relievers in every game and not worry. If Linebrink, Thornton, Jenks and hell even Dotel were available tonight there is no way Wasserman pitches. We just need to some how get through this. And McDougal getting some outs, where was he to start the 7th, at least he has some stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think the same thing, remember we play the Royals. All I want is a split against the Yankees, 2 from the Royals, and see what happens in Minny.

maggsmaggs Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 If we get to the playoffs, I don't think I would be that mad if they don't move on. Considering the injuries, just making the post-season would be amazing. Of course I say this now and if we do make the playoffs, I probably will be extremely pissed off if we don't move on. I really feel like we are 2-3 moves away from being a WS contender. Unfortunately, i don't see it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphat007 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I'd take 2 wins here, 2 wins in KC, and 1 win in Minny, with the 1 win in Minny being the msot important. If I had to guess I'd say 1 win here, 2 wins in KC, and 1 in Minny. I guess that would make us 1 up (1/2 really) going into the last series of the year.

Begs the question...what would you rather have: Either giving Richard or Broadway a start...or having short rotation and relying on this bullpen for 4 innings? Personally...I'd have rather given Broadway a start. Ok...lemme have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of Nordhagen Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 They say that MacDougal cleaned up his delivery, but he looks like the same guy to me -- ball moves a ton, and he has no idea where it's going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is two games now since we went to this bullpen where the quality starts by our pitchers were wasted because they had to be pulled early.
