With Timlin, Foulke and Papelbon unavailable yesterday, Wakefield did his job, throwing eight shutout innings. We'll see if Matt Clement can do likewise, when he faces Roy Halladay at 7 PM.
so coco's batting 8th today and boomer's knee was sore after throwing 10 pitches. if only he could lose some weight, that would help his knee heal. i literally feel bad for his poor ol' joints, having to sustain that massive gut.
Did you ever stop to think that perhaps Wells was saved from a far more serious injury by the extra padding he has?
Seriously, I doubt very much that his waist size has anything to do with the healing process from a bone bruise. Unless of course, you're a body-conscious anorexic who has osteoporosis as the result of years of self-starvation. Then, you might be in more trouble than someone who's *GASP* fat.
Yeah, my choice was to leave MDC in the game but according to all the commentors on other Sox blogs, that was a bad move. Evidently, there are NO good moves to make.

DelCarmen was pitching well but maybe Tito wanted to take him out before he ran into difficulty as he has in his past outings. Still don't know why he didn't go with either Foulke or Papelbon, though. Chalk it up to another of his head-scratching moves.
couch potato: your patronzing internet sarcasm is noted ;//
i understand paps not being put in at that point. you need him for later if we had grabbed the lead in the 9th. but riske...man i don't know. even if foulke had come in, i'd still feel the usual nervousness at what may happen.
Adding to Jack's comments...I think this snaff is further emphasized by the fact that we face Ted Lilly today (who has been a perennial ACE against the Sox). Just burns the wound more since we clawed back into this game after being down 6-0.
Just not convinced Risk-e should have pitched in a tie game after not pitching in 6 days. Why not ease him back into? Pitch him in the 9th on Sunday. Games like that, lower pressure.
Positive things: Coco's two hits including a HR and his nice catch. Tek's bigtime, clutch HR and his strong at-bats the whole game.
what about the play youk made on the bunt? i think he had time to throw to third.
i agree that riske wasn't right to put in in that situation tho. even if foulke came in and gave up a homerun right off the bat..it doesn't matter. we had just tied the game up and you want a guy who has experience in situations like that (and one who has pitched recently)
i like van buren. i don't think he's a saviour or anything, but he has some fire in him.

*SIGH*
ReplyDeleteclement lasts only 4 innings, plus gives up 6 runs.
. . .

extra padding...in the knee? what?
ReplyDeletetaking some weight off his knee couldn't hurt though. he has no cartilage in there and a lighter frame would only help take stress off bone on bone.
ps. aw jeah, tied up at 6! go tek! ;D
