my prediction for his first start against a punchless white sox offense:
6.0 IP, 2 ER, 5 Hits, 6 Ks |
I'm not that confident. I think he'll be around 6 IP, but he'll give up 4 runs +/- 1, let up 6 or 7 hits, and strike out 5-6.
from what i've been watching his FB is off about 5 mph. |

in today's game, the defense didn't help out when the pitchers actually made good pitches
the Yanks were beating Schilling, but Moose gave the lead right back twice |

great game from start to finish no matter who you were rooting for. I have 3 thoughts:
1. Arod's home run was nuts - how someone takes an 0-2 fastball on the outer part of the plate and drives it out is beyond me. I'm still surprised Pap didn't throw his splitter up 0-2, usually his strikeout pitch in that situation.
2. Abreu is playing terrible. He's looking better at the plate I guess but he simply looks lost in right field.
3. I'm surprised the Sox offense has been so effective when you consider how ineffective Manny & Ortiz have been of late. I give a lot of credit to Theo and Tito sticking with Pedroia - for a little guy he really knows how to handle a high fastball and isn't bad defensively at all and Youk is absolutely crushing the ball. |

agreed with all your thoughts, except i would add that Abreu, Damon, Cabrera, and Cano are(were) all playing like . I think cano and cabrera are coming out of the slumps, but im not sold on abreu just yet. I'm def. pissed about Damon in general. He was a horrible pick up. If we were going to spend that much on him we should have just went for beltran when he was available.
Pedroia is looking like a rookie of the year candidate. Damn, there's no way rookie of the year isn't coming from boston with Pedroia, Okajima, and Matsuzaka. My money's with okajima or pedroia, if either can keep that up.
I'm happy we finally broke papelbon. I think that's the first run for the yankees off of papelbon, ever!!
Youk is nuts right now, but wasn't he hot at the beginning of last year and then dropped off? There's something about that guy that i just don't like. He just seems like a douche bag. But whatever, he's playing well and that's all that matters.
EDIT: just checked youks stats from last year, he had a .333 avg in may 2006, .309 in june 2006, then .236 in july 2006, .274 in aug 2006, and .216 in sept 2006.
what a disappointment Lugo and Drew have been! I knew Drew was going to suck. i said that on page 8 of this thread. |

For youk it's important to keep in mind that it was his first full year in the bigs combined with having both Manny & Ortiz out of the lineup towards the end of the summer. Youk was hitting cleanup and wasn't seeing nearly as many fastballs. On an aside, I've been extremely impressed with his defense considering he came up as a 3rd baseman.
Yeah, I'm disappointed in Drew as well. It's not cataclysmic, just annoying. Lugo, on the other hand, I'm not as concerned about. I think he'll heat up and he's on pace to become only the second Red Sox player to steal 50 or more bases. That said, don't be surprised if Tito puts him at the bottom of the order with Crisp, moves pedroia to the leadoff spot and Youk back to hitting second. |
