fathom Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 13, 2012 -> 02:34 AM) DV way overhyped................1-2-3 again. He'll be ok...overhyped yes, but that's just cause expecting the next Vlad Guerrero was idiotic expectations. He does need to start show the ability to hit a fastball over 90 mph without lunging over the plate. Until then, he's going to be nothing but a mistake hitter.

fathom Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 QUOTE (greg775 @ May 13, 2012 -> 02:37 AM) Amen. If he has a bulging disk, treat it. As far as this game, you have to admit it's a joke EVERYBODY in the league can bash Hochevar cept the Sox. Hochevar's pitched well. Done a good job of throwing strikes when he gets to 3 balls on a hitter. He's gotten very lucky that he got the first out of the last two innings on absolute rockets.

fathom Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I was actually shocked to see we lead the AL in sac bunts. Doesn't seem like Ventura's been abusing the bunt too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I mean you can definitely count on multiple limbs the number of times the Sox have been aced by some teams garbage 5th starter in the last few years. Nothing helps get a pitcher going like facing this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2012 -> 02:42 AM) Chen was great against the entire AL Central last year 1.) If you are talking about me, you are sick. I want the Sox to win almost too much as Fathom can attest. Losing freaks me out. 2.) That's after we saved his career. He was s*** til he mowed the Sox down.
