Humber threw 6 2/3, gave up 2 runs on 3 hits. He pitched phenomenally. You have to win when your pitcher has an outing like that. Agreed completely, and it's a shame that he couldn't get any breathing room Edited June 26, 2011 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Whenever I watch Hernandez pitch, I never understand why the other team just doesn't sit on his extreme offspeed pitches. He throws them ALL the damn time, no one should be fooled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humber threw 6 2/3, gave up 2 runs on 3 hits. He pitched phenomenally. You have to win when your pitcher has an outing like that. Especially when you have 7 hits and only score 1 run. Yet Dunn is still in the lineup, and hitters such as Viciedo, Gallagher, De Aza and Kuhn are STILL toiling in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) Good thing is I'm sure our players have confidence we can comeback after Friday night. Just can't allow more runs. why they have not hit the last two days and Washignton's pen is very good. It is not real likely they will blow it. Friday the Sox lost so there really is nothing positive about simply prolonging a game at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) We have to be worst in the majors in going 1st to 3rd and 2nd to home. Rizzo was on talking about how their goal (Washington) in the offseason was to improve in this specific area, as well as the defense. It seems like we're getting worse and worse in this area, if that's possible. Of course, Juan Pierre now has locked up playing time for another week, SIGH.

fathom Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 9 freaking strike outs for Livan? Seems like one of those games that afterwards, the pitcher will say he simply pitched the way the scouting report told him to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Come on Carlos, we need a baserunner. Seems like the wind has decided it's going to be hard for a righty to tie this up on a HR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 You can't sit fastball on Livan for multiple reasons. 1, he has a ton of movement on it back in to righties and away to lefties. At the same time, it looks a lot like his slider except with reverse late action. And it's hard to hit the big looping breaking ball because he changes speeds on it and it really does drop of the table. Yeah, he's throwing junk, but he's effective as all hell with it.

Seems like one of those games that afterwards, the pitcher will say he simply pitched the way the scouting report told him to. Prior to today, his season high was 7 strikeouts in a game. The last time Livan Hernandez struck out 9 in a game was September 26, 2004. I had to scroll back through 8 years of game logs to find that.
