Our pitching has been absolutely solid. Beckett and Wakefield have ERAs under 2 and Schill/Dice-K under 3.

Watching the replay of yesterdays game. Angels Kotchman singles to left, or does he?!!! Manny charges the ball, gets rid of it quickly, side arm, throws a 10 hopper past the cuttoff all the way to first. G-7?? Nah, Kotchman was long safe and is walking back to the bag by the time Yuke comes up with it. Classic.

(He is playing very good out there, and creative too!)

Re: *official 2007 red sox thread*
 

Dice-K 1-2. Absolutely awful 4th inning does him in. Still goes 6 innings and only gives up 2 runs.

His offense needs to start giving him support.

I didn't see the game, but I can't imagine a 2-run inning being "absolutely awful".

Gee, he didn't throw a shutout. He stinks.

Then you probably should watch the game before making snide comments towards me.

I guess you're right. Send this guy back to Shanghai. For $100,000,000 we should at least get a guy who never loads the bases.

It's hard to compete with Gustavo Chacin:

That said, whatever inning it was where Mats struckout the side looked pretty damn impressive.

god you're dumb.

I didn't say he sucks. I didn't say we overspent for him. I didn't say I want him to miss his next rotation.

I said he had a terrible inning. He did. His walks weren't even close to the plate. Varitek looked like he was doing calisthenics trying to stop them from going to the backstop, and he even failed on one that hit five feet in front of the plate. Hell, even Clayton's strikeout was a gift. Those balls weren't exactly hittable balls but he was chasing them regardless of the fact Matsuzaka couldn't find the plate.

It's OK. I'm not hating on your little man.
