Hey, look at me, first game thread on the Planet!:icon_supe

Tonight, we have Dice-K going for the Sox vs. former Sox (primarily farmhand) Lenny DiNardo.

Dice enters this game with a record of 7-3, 4.83 ERA, and is coming off of a first rate bitch-slapping at the hand of the Tribe last week. In all fairness, I think he was still feeling the effects of the flu.

DiNardo is 1-2, 1.80 ERA. He's been primarily used out of the bullpen and still isn't stretched out as a starter.

Even though they lost last night, I'm still impressed with the effort the boys put in. They played a long game vs. some scrub 4th place team, hopped on a plane, flew all the way across the country, staged a late comeback in a game where they sent their #5 guy against the other team's ace, sent the game to extra innings, and lost on a 2-out walkoff home run by a perrenial all star in the 11th. Lot better then what the skanks did:) .

Anywho, a win tonight puts them back on track. Remember, .500 on this trip would be a great outcome, anything above that is gravy! The division lead, even after losing 4 out of their last 5, is still 10 games!

GO SOX!!

What's the record for leaving the bases loaded ?

C'mon, 'Tek, try and make that throw, you'll get interference and the runner is out too.

I have no idea. I hate these late games.

2-0 Oakland, bottom 5 and Dice K has already thrown over 90 pitches. Sox currently being 1 hit by Lenny friggin DiNardo with his blazing 85 mph heat. The Sox are lacking their piss and vinegar. I hope they're able to catch up on their rest and get the offense back on track, if not in this game, then very soon or this road trip could be brutal.

Damn, crappy DP........

Damn, crappy DP........

That was just awful. Bases loaded - one out. DiNardo already had walked 2 in the inning and surrendered a base hit to Ortiz. Then the Sox bounce into their 4th DP of the night. Yuk!!

Dice K is most likely done after 6. 113 pitches (too high for 6 innings!), 2 walks, 8 K's and the 1 HR. Not a terrible outing at all, but the poor bugger is getting no offensive support at all. I still can't believe the Sox were not able to jump all over Lenny DiNardo in 6 innings of work.

We just had Kiko pitching to Coco.

Does anyone else see the humor in that?

Sox are only 1 away from their record personal best of 6 double plays in one game. This is just silly.

Lenny has started his last three games and he is doing what he did in Boston, Getting by Moyer style - I suggest Lenny is better than I thought and a servicable pitcher who will get streaky wins where his walks do not kill him

I said it once and I'll say it again: Junk Throwing Lefty = Red Sox Kryptonite.

How else can you explain 5 double plays hit into? How does the opposing pitcher issue 6 free passes and doesn't give up a run?

(See this is the flaw, IMO, in building an OPB/OPS team. It means that your guys walk a lot. Meaning, more often than not, there's a guy on first base. Junk throwing Lefties and sinkerballers will get a lot of double plays. OPB/OPS teams are good but you'll get 10 or 15 (maybe more) games where a crap pitcher makes your team ground out and the guy who just drew a walk gets thrown out at second and the batter at first.)

I agree with this assessment. This problem could be mitigated somewhat by being more aggressive on the basepaths (somehting this team has made at least a token effort towards this year) and playing some small ball with men on base. I think we are all very happy with how this team wears out pitching staffs (staves?) but very unhappy with so many men LOB. If you ask me, the current philosophy is more or less sound, but it's time to take the next step and expand upon it.

dice K the $100m avg pitcher!

Let me get this straight...our pitcher goes 7 innings a gives up 2 runs, and the offense gets 4 hits and 0 runs and hits into 6 double plays all against Lenny F'ing DiNardo, and your mad at Matsuzaka??

And for the love of god would you please quit acting like he is getting paid 100 million dollars? Cuz he's not.
