BASES ON BALLS
What's killing you?
Bases on balls.
The ball is the equivalent of the called strike. The umpire deems it to be outside the strike zone. Four balls make a walk. The purpose of this is to force the pitcher to throw pitches the batter has a reaosnable chance of hitting thus moving the game along.
Walks hurt. They run up pitch counts and put runners on base. They also move runners along. This was demonstrated Thursday night as the Red Sox walked 13 Orioles. You can't win walking 13 men just like you can't win when you score 2 runs.
Base on Ball Sox 2
Baltimore Orioles 3
W: Rodrigo Lopez (1-0)
L: Bobby "Bases on Balls" Jones (0-1)
The good news is now I have a nickname for Bobby Jones.
Javy Lopez is the Man of the Game. He caught 13 innings, went 2/3 with a double, scored twice, and walked 5 times.
The Bitch-Goat shall be divided thusly:
Wakefield: 0.2 - He relented the most runs
Jones: 0.5 - 5 walks in 1.1 innings
Mueller: 0.2 - 0 for 6
Francona: 0.1 - He took Embree out after an inning and Timlin out after 0.2
SOX DROP HOME OPENER, WHAT A JOKE
I'm starting to have my doubts about Francona. Malaska pitches well and he yanks him after an inning. This is after the pen throws 6.1 innings. When Timlin gave up his second double, I instinctively looked down from Section 26 into the bullpen to see who was warming up. No-one was. What the FUCK? The Jays had a pair of guys warming up and later they had their closer warming up in the 9th just in case Lightenburg collapsed. Then our backup first baseman pitches. WOW!
Boston Joke Sox 5
Toronto Blue Jays 10
W: Justin "Who Am I?" Speier (1-0)
L: Mike "Timid" Timlin (0-1)
BS: Mike "Timid" Timlin (1)
H: Mark "Who?" Malaska (1), Terry Adams (1), Aquilino Lopez (1)
The man of the game is Orlando Hudson. He only went 1/3 with a double but he scored twice, knocked in a run and walked twice.and made two AMAZING plays.
The bitch-Goat shall be divided thusly:
Arroyo: 0.3 - Not impressive
Timlin: 0.4 - terrible
Embree: 0.2 - not good
Francona: 0.1 - bad bullpen management
DOMINICANS COME THROUGH FOR SOX
Pedro=God
Toronto Blue Jays 1
Las Medias Rojas 4
W: Pedro "God" Martinez (1-0)
L: Roy "Doesn't Deserve the Cy Young" Halladay (0-2)
S: Keith Foulke (2)
Good outing by Pedro recording 7 Ks in 7.2 IP. He allowed 4 hits and 2 walks. He gave up a solo HR and that was it. Ortiz, Manny, and Bellhorn also hit homeruns. The pitching duel only lasted 2 hours and 13 minutes.
The Man of the Game is so obvious that it is hilarious. PEDRO!
Now it's up to Schilling to outshine him.
BRUINS BEAT HABS, LEAD SERIES 2-0
Montreal Canadiens 1
Boston Bruins 2/OT
Goals:
BOS: 15:22 1st Period: Michael Nylander PP (Bergeron, Samsonov)
MON: 15:54 2nd Period: Patrice Bresbois PP (Kovalev, Koivu)
BOS: 1:28 1st OT: Patrice Bergeron (Nylander, Samsonov)
Nylander is having himself quite a series. Raycroft is too. He gave up one goal which was on a 5 on 3 and he might have been interfered with by Richard Zednick. The Bruins take an important 2-0 advantage into Montreal Easter Sunday.
Maine beat BC Thursday night but lost to Denver Saturday. Oh well.
