2 Postgames at Once, and An Ellsbury Examination
Bullet point format engage. Game 1: We lost 9-5, but it wasn't as close as that may seem. Lester didn't look very good, and had to leave the game when he was hit by a comebacker in his right quad. At the time it occurred, the injury looked much worse to some people. Lester lay on the mound in pain...
Game 50: Holy crap, the Jays won
FINAL SCORE: Blue Jays 6, Red Sox 3PLAYER OF THE GAME: Daniel Bard (2.1 IP, 5K, 0H, 1BB) The Jays beat us. How the hell did that happen? Tim Wakefield just wasn't very good. He allowed six runs in 4.2 innings of work. Daniel Bard, though, is an absolute stud: he worked 2.1 innings and struck out...
Game 48: Sox love the WPs
FINAL SCORE: Twins 4, Red Sox 2PLAYER OF THE GAME: Jason Bay (1 for 4, HR) Wild pitches are reason No. 381 that I love baseball. But there's no reason to love them after last night. The Red Sox had six wild pitches last night, four from Daisuke Matsuzaka and one each from Manny Delcarmen and...
Game 47: No offense tonight
Hey, that guy did well. But on the major league side, the Red Sox did not. They lost to the Twins, 5-2. Jon Lester wasn't very good. He gave up five runs, six hits, three walks and struck out four in six innings of work. Daniel Bard (1IP, 1BB, 1SO) and Takashi Saito (1IP, 3SO) relieved...
Game 36: Red Sox lose ... but how?
Don't pretend you can figure out the guy pictured above. Because you can't. Jon Lester was struggling early last night, but he was still pitching well. Then it all just unfolded. From the 5th inning on, the screws came out and Lester surrendered five runs, including two home runs by Ichiro Suzuki....
Community Projections: Jacoby Ellsbury
We're almost done with the lineup! Today's community projection will be Jacoby Ellsbury, the Red Sox's leadoff hitter. Copy and paste the form below and let us know if Jacoby will, once again, lead the American League in stolen bases: AB:HR:BA:OBP:SLG: Special category: SB: Oh, and for the...
Keeper League Draft Results
This is a 5x5 12 team keeper league where we keep up to 5 players. The rosters are expanded and include 2 C, MI, CI, 5 OF, and have plenty of bench spots for speculation. I won the league last year so I sat on the wheel at the end of rounds 6/7 and so on. 1. Ryan Howard - keeper 2. BJ Upton -...
Who should finish out the Red Sox order in '09?
Mike Lowell won the last poll handedly, so it's time to figure out the last two spots in the lineup. Here's what it looks like now: Jacoby Ellsbury Dustin Pedroia David Ortiz Kevin Youkilis Jason Bay J.D. Drew Mike Lowell Poll is attached
Red Sox's first full workout
No more messing around. It's go time. The Sox have their first full workout today. The Globe reports it's "quiet" right now because everyone is in meetings before getting out onto the field. A few hitters -- including David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia and Jason Bay -- were in the batting cages to start...
Is Jacoby Ellsbury the new Johnny Damon?
Let’s ask the numbers. Damon debuted in the majors at age 21, while Ellsbury’s debut came at age 23. This alone should tell you something about the two players: better players tend to make it to the majors sooner, although there are very many exceptions. Maybe Ellsbury is an...
