Default Re: *official 2007 red sox thread*

biggest concerns for me with the sox right now:

lowell and youks possibly fading again in the 2nd half
middle relief sucks
really starting to wonder if crisp will ever turn it around
need to get rid of tavarez without pissing off manny

things i like:

starters are awesome.
papelbon/jeemer are awesome.
offense is seeing a ton of pitches, getting into bullpens etc

My roommate has been to 2 Sox games this season.

The 10-3 loss to Toronto, and now the 7-2 loss to Detroit.

I refuse to let him go to another one.

need to move tavarez to the bullpen, which would open a starting spot for Lester, and avoid pissing off manny

I would like having Tavarez in the pen but I don't think Lester is quite ready, and they made it clear they don't want Hansack starting yet.

Another upside would be if Tavarez is in the pen he can't bother Dice K so much [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Wow awesome baserunning by Crisp in the first inning results huge. Crisp singles, Ortiz is up with one out. Ortiz hits a very standard 4-6-3 double play ball but Crisp executes a sweet dive to stay under Polanco's tag and reach second base safely. After popping up, no one is covering third because of the overshift on Ortiz and he quickly scoots over before anyone remembers to cover the bag. Inning stays alive as Manny drives in Crisp and an extra 12 pitches and 2 hits are recorded.

Polanco fielded it at 2nd, and went to tag Crisp who just slid underneath him I assume.

Because instead of going to the shortstop, Polanco decided it would be easier to tag Crisp. He was wrong. (The tag probably helps you turn the double play on faster guys, but it's not necessary with Ortiz.)
