Holy Boston, are ya'll really gonna go scoreless 2 games in a row? What's worse is their pitching has been phenomenal
This might reach 2 pages by series end, but doubtful. Scherzer is dealing early on--7 K's through 3. Boston with 0 runs and 1 hit through 12 innings thus far

Wake up sox bats --wake up!
Congrats to the Boston Red Sox for getting on the scoreboard. Only down 2-0, with 3 guaranteed appearances of Verlander/Scherzer left if you happen to go the distance.
BIG PAPI----------*****************

SOX WIN SOX WIN

That sucked. Would have been nice going back to Detroit up 2-0.
Will be interesting how this affects both teams. I expect the starting pitching to continue to perform well. But now Boston has life. Might need Verlander to go 9 innings next game.
You sure Jimmy L won't pull Verlander in the 8th at 110 pitches, despite being able to throw 135 in April?
ing Boston.... how ing spoiled and lucky can one city get sports-wise for over a decade now?![]()
Be thankful my pats choked in 07 & 11
If JV says he can go in the 9th, I think Leyland would give him the opportunity to do it, particularly with the way the bullpen and even Benoit have been shaky.
In game 5 against Oakland, JV himself said he was gassed after the 8th in the post game. Probably because every pitch was stressful with the season on the line and the offense not giving him much run support. JV is the one guy Leyland would allow to pitch into the 120s as long as he's pitching well and he says he can go. And Leyland shouldn't trust anyone in the bullpen right now.
What a ing moron for pitching up a meatball there. Almost cut-worthy
Absolutely should have thrown him a first pitch change-up. First pitch fastball right down the middle of the plate was something Ortiz was geared up for. In fact, I might have just pitched around Ortiz in that situation. Walking in a run doesn't hurt the Tigers. But most people can't fathom the idea of walking in a run and bringing up the go-ahead run to the plate. I'd still have considered it, and at the very least not give Ortiz one good pitch to hit and roll the dice with Napoli.
He should come in and pitch the 8th inning in every game..........
If you look at the posted replay of the home run the speed of the pitch was only 86 MPH.
He probably was throwing a change up or a splitter. If that was his fast ball it sucks
100% agreed. They don't even have to make it obvious. Have Leyland or the PC go out there and tell him to make Papi chase out of the zone. If he stays disciplined and forces the walk, so be it. Then it's just 5-2.
My bad. Didn't notice that. Didn't pay attention to the pitch speed.
Then it was a horribly located splitter. Way too much plate. Way too high for an offspeed pitch.
It looks like Papi went out and reached for it. He had enough bat speed to
get out there just enough. Even so Hunter made a of a try for the ball.
It was that close.
It only looked like he reached for it b/c he's a fat . It was a meatball.
