Sox in 4!

Lester comes out nervous and Angels take Game 1, before the Sox take over. Matsuzaka has been lights out on the road and picks up the win in Game 2. Sox come home and sweep beyond performances from Beckett and Lester.

haha, hey, i'm rooting for the guy as much as you .. i'm just trying to be objective and pick out a sox loss. Lester's 4.09 era on the road and a career ERA over 8.00 at Angels Stadium .. I'm thinking Game 1 favors the Angels.

that said, I think he'll be lights out and clinch the series at Fenway in Game 4.

10/01/08, 12:27 AM
I'm nervous about the sox injuries. We're not as healthy as I thought we'd be at this point. JD with lingering back stiffness, Lowell clearly not 100%, and the possibility that Beckett might not be ready to go for game 3 or even at all? Scary. Even without all three, this is still a dangerous sox team, but it's certainly not a team that would have the paper advantage.

The funny (sad) thing is, there was a point this season where I thought we had an overabundance of good to great starting pitching:

Beckett
Dice K
Lester
Wakefield
Bucholz
Colon
Masterson
and the potential that Schilling would be back after the All Star Break

And look where we are now. With a chance that fucking Paul Byrd will pitch an elimination game.

CarlosLunes
10/01/08, 12:29 AM
at what point in the season did you think that "bucholz (buchholz)" was good or great?

youkwalks
10/01/08, 12:40 AM
I think he's talking about his stints in the minors....

surfwaxsideshow
10/01/08, 12:49 AM
at what point in the season did you think that "bucholz (buchholz)" was good or great?

you caught me on the h.

He looked fine the first month and a half of the season before he went on the DL, the same time that I had hope for Schilling to return and for Bartolo Colon to actually make an impact on the pitching staff, which he did for a handful of games before returning to his injury-prone, fatass self and then eventually walking away from the team for the playoffs because he has too much pride to pitch as a reliever. Given Buchholz's no hitter last year, status as the Sox' best AAA pitcher last year, his solid April at the major league level, and a handful of absolutely dominant rehab starts in AAA this year, I don't see how his absolutely miserable return from the DL could have been predicted before the final, poor rehab start and even then it would have been a stretch to anticipate just how bad he was. In April, May, and June, it wasn't unreasonable at all to expect him to be a solid 4th or 5th starter at this point in the season.

CarlosLunes
10/01/08, 12:58 AM
him shitting the bed in may was not predictable, him shitting the bed after dominant minor league stints, was.

bigmike
10/01/08, 01:03 AM
Clay Buchholz failing this year is DIRECTLY related to another team being dumb and tweaking mechanics that do not need to be tweaked. There's a reason those mechanics accelerated Clay through the minors in the dominant fashion that it did. And to my knowledge, there was no impending injury within the next year due to the worst mechanics ever, they were just unnecessary changes from an otherwise near-flawlessly run organization.

surfwaxsideshow
10/01/08, 01:35 AM
Yeah, trying to change his mechanics was a terrible move, and one that quite possibly cost them the AL east. At least this is being acknowledged now, and while finishing the season with the Sea Dogs he was making an effort to throw the way he did pre-tweaks. Of course now his confidence is so shaken that one big hit is all it really takes to take a solid start and turn it ugly with nervous Clay, so for the time being his mechanics are not the only issue. Still, I'm keeping faith that this major setback only slowed him down, not completely ruined him.

And hey, there's always the chance that Bowden will turn out to be something special...

Sox set their roster:


Starters
Jon Lester (L)
Daisuke Matsuzaka
Josh Beckett
Relievers
Tim Wakefield
Paul Byrd
Javier Lopez (L)
Manny Delcarmen
Hideki Okajima (L)
Justin Masterson
Jonathan Papelbon

POSITIONAL PLAYERS
Projected starting lineup
Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
David Ortiz, DH
Kevin Youkilis, 1B
Jason Bay, LF
Mike Lowell, 3B
J.D. Drew, RF
Jason Varitek, C
Jed Lowrie, SS
Bench
Mark Kotsay, IF-OF (L)
Coco Crisp, OF (S)
Sean Casey, 1B (L)
Alex Cora, IF (L)
Kevin Cash, C (R)
David Ross, C (R)

By carrying a third catcher, the Sox suggest that they will hit for Varitek if and when the situation calls for it. Francona has refrained from doing so during the regular season, but the postseason is obviously a different matter.

I could not be happier with not seeing Timlin on the roster. Hopefully this is the end for him in a Sox uniform.

I'm also kind of surprised they didn't put Jeff Bailey on the roster. He played pretty well during the regular season when he was called upon, but then again, I'd rather have everyone else that's on the roster right now on there over him.

Admittedly I didn't watch this entire game, but did Kendrick and GMJ give up the 4 runs? I doubt that Willits or Rivera would've (1) not given up the 4 runs or (2) would've scored more runs.

And that's ignoring the fact that you want an outfielder to play the infield.............

Lowell out, no Lowrie either.

Red Sox
1. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
3. David Ortiz, DH (.556, .636, 1.111, 9 ab)
4. Kevin Youkilis, 3B
5. J.D. Drew, RF
6. Jason Bay, LF
7. Mark Kotsay, 1B (.389, .450, .500, 18 ab)
8. Jason Varitek, C
9. Alex Cora, SS
-- Daisuke Matsuzaka, SP

Ortiz and Kotsay both have good numbers against Santana, in parenthesis.

crit
10/03/08, 04:40 PM
I don't know. The error he made was his first of the year at SS, he's been great defensively. He did have a single to lead off the ninth where they scored 2 runs. Perhaps Tito likes that Cora is 2 for 3 with a double, triple, walk and 2 RBI against Santana in his career?

The 8th inning is what did us in. Jacoby robs Tex of a hit, Vlad gets a single, Torri singles then Vlad fucks up on the bases. Instead of 1 out and 2 on it was 2 outs 1 on.
