I won't be here for some of the night because I have to see niece for her bday.

But im starting this game thread so we can get people posting on this site more.

Lets have our old espn clan be re-birthed.

i'm sad that pukeilis is back in the line up. I hate that guy

Looks like the Dutchstache is filling in nicely.

Glad we actually jumped on the sox early. I just hope our pitching doesn't pitch like the last 3 games against the sox.

Nice to start them out down 2 before ever batting like they did us. Let's hope it works as well against them.

And we're already getting squeezed by the homeplate umpire. Of course we're playing Boston.

 

[dmc0015]

Derek is going at em after that shakey first batter. Nice!

 

[romeo212000]

His arm sure doesn't look tired. 96-97mph fastball the whole way. Doesn't look like he has his slider working for strikes yet. Hoepfully it will come together later in the game. He has only shown them two pitches so far I am pretty sure. Fastball and slider, which is smart till he gets to the rest of the lineup.

Is there anything less attractive than the "duck lips" pose?

What does Holland throw? Fastball, curve, slider? I can't remember if he throws a change up, but I'd think with the velocity he has a decent change-up would be a heck of a weapon for him.

 

[dmc0015]

Wow! Gentry got a bunt down!

 

[bone3421]

nice good job ian

 

[dmc0015]

I don't think you need to worry about Holland having a dead arm. He's pitched a lot of innings before this year. As far as his pitches (POP OUT!!!!) he has a slider that he likes to use if I'm not mistaken. That and the curve. Don't think he has a changeup really.

Atta boy Ian, use that uppercut swing to put us up 5. ; )

 

[dmc0015]

Miller is not long for this game.

Miller is not long for this game.

Lets hope he gives up some more runs before he exits, hopefully 9 if Beltre can connect. Call for Beltre.

I'm pretty sure Miller is getting the same zone Dutch is. Which is fine, because Dutch has better stuff in my opinion.

On another thought. You have to think that if Ian played for Boston he would have like 40 home runs or more a year with his swing.

 

[kennyt12]

Crap, new pitcher. I'm sticking with my Beltre call though.

 

[dmc0015]

Call for Nap.
