Lester Against Royals,There, August 8, 2014

[Brahmsian]

Finally a game with a pitcher we have a chance of getting a shutout from!

We should score some runs against KC's scheduled starter, 36 year old journeyman
Bruce Chen, who's completed only 4 of his 207 career starts. allowing 9.1 hits and
3.2 walks per 9 innings in his career.

SHOULD score.

Wouldn't it be nice to get a big lead early and let the bench get some playing time late?

And here's hoping Saltalamacchia get's some rest today. Catchers can play more games
than individual pitchers during the season, but not as any as players at other positions.

Salty's overdue for a day off!

GO RED SOX!

Salty starting at catcher AGAIN tonight? :rollseyes:

Do we want him to have anything left 3 years from now?

I do.

 

[Brahmsian]

Very atypical 1st inning for Lester.

We should be used to having to come fro behind by now,but liking
it is another matter.

Speak up, fellow Red Six fans!

 

[Brahmsian]

2nd inning more like what I expect from Jon Lester!

 

[Brahmsian]

Time to make Royals fans boo, Red Sox!

GO DO IT!

 

[Brahmsian]

NOT THE WAY TO GO, RUBBY!

We may have avoided the shutout, but no way am I watching the post-game show
on as forgettable a night as this was.

Good night.
