ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) Baker is making Tampa look foolish. Tampa hitters missing his offspeed stuff by a foot. It's August, aren't they due to get no-hit, perfect gamed, or just flat dominated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Ok. So, 91 pitches. Does he start the 8th, or go out on top and with a shutout performance? I run him out in the 8th and pull him if anyone reaches. I'd pull him and say great f***ing job, Edwin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) I'm enjoying the fall of Boesh the golden boy. I imagine he'll recover a bit, but i don't see him ever being a huge force in the middle of the order. dude had a .344 obp in low A....since then...the highest obp he had at any stop in the higher minors was .318...he was as much of a fluke as you can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very similar to our club. They can't hit off speed pitchers worth a s***, but great fb hitting team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthsideDon48 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 I wonder when we'll see Sale pitch. I'd have to guess the Sox would pitch him in a blowout instead of a 4-run game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Edwin will be out there in the 8th. Its been a pretty efficient outing and hes been mainly using fastballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Jackson's had only 2 starts this season without a walk. Gave up at least 4 runs in both of the previous ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rested bullpen, guy who needs the confidence. With a four-run lead, you can pull him after one guy getting on, if you want. He's thrown far fewer pitches than his opponent who not only has thrown more pitches coming into the inning, but who is trailing by four runs. Let him start the inning!

ScottyDo Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 My Tigers friend called him Sir Edwin. Not flashy, but I guess there's a bunch of people who called him that? Then again, just like they hated "O-E-O Magglio" in DET, we should probably reject Sir Edwin because it's another team's "thing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
