Peavy Against Diamondbacks, Here, August 3, 2013

[Brahmsian]

I thought we'd win last night with Lester, but fortunately the Rays also lost,so we're still in 1st place,
on a pace for 96 regular season wins.

Peavy has his work cut out for him, convincing me that including Iglesias in the deal wasn't a mistake
but I'll give him a chance.

Arizona's scheduled starter tonight is a 24 year old 2nd year man, Patrick Corbin. He's recorded more than
3 times as many Ks as walks in his 251 1/3 innings to date. Here's hoping we can change that tonight!

Peavy's also struck out more than 3 times as many batters as he's walked, so we DON'T want that to change. Though with our infield he'd better not be afraid of "pitching to contact."

GO RED SOX!

"Sinstripes" also lost last night, so they're still 4 games behind Baltimore in the
Wild Card race. I am loving that!

 

[Brahmsian]

Get men on base, some of them will get stranded. It's something that can be lived with.

Peavy apparently did well in the part of the game I had to miss. Can he keep it up?

GO RED SOX!

 

[Brahmsian]

Way to go, Napoli!

 

[Brahmsian]

I'd have brought in a reliever if I were managing.

Peavy's thrown 96 pitches already and we do have a good pen.

 

[Brahmsian]

Now for Uehara!

Looking good, Red Sox!

Anyone else going to post in this thread?

How's Peavy looking?

 

[Brahmsian]

Think we caught a break on that "ball 4" call, but who's complaining?

How's Peavy looking?

He through 99 pitches, gave up the early lead, but overall a good outing.

Let's get the win in the record books now, Red Sox!

Good to hear.

 

[Brahmsian]

Good to hear.

The win is official now, despite a sub-par inning from Uehara.

Now let's hope San Francisco can beat the "Strays" tonight on the west coast.
