Sonnanstine will beat us 3 7 times in a 7 game series.

Today's categorical judgments of good pitches and bad pitches are being made by Gary Darling:

[Foulkey Reese]

So is this guy Ted Lilly 2.0?

[reggiecleveland]

What a high school team starting fights and shaving heads.

Yeah the Sox would never shave their heads or start a fight.

[TFisNEXT]

28 pitches after 2 for Beckett.

[MidnightC]

1-2-3.

[Clemente38]

I'll take hitting them right at where they are standing. Now hit some of this slop and score some runs.

Get on and move the line.

[JVTek]

Velocity seems to be 92-93, about 3 mph down from pre-"tingling". Should we be worried?

[staz]

He's not fooling anyone, though.

[Sprowl]

I think it's Mrs. Bay's propensity to churn out children.

Just what we need -- more tiny little Canucks.

[Foulkey Reese]

I would probably start panicking.

[CaptainLaddie]

So frustrating. So very frustrating.

[reggiecleveland]

Cowboy up was Harvard material.

[DavidWellsAteNelson]

Fucking hackers.

[MidnightC]

That inning was barfilicious.

[TFisNEXT]

5 pitch inning for Sonnanstine.

[TheShynessClinic]

Great fucking inning, assholes.

[Sprowl]

Arghhh... Sonnanstine didn't fool Papi on that one, but the power isn't all there.

[staz]

What a joke of a stadium. It's like playing ping-pong in the basement of a 50s ranch.

[rembrat]

Beckett should nutpunch the top of the order as he comes on to the field.

[PedroSpecialK]

What, is Gross retarded or something?

[TFisNEXT]

Pedroia!


What a play.

[RedOctober3829]

I can only imagine the outrage when a playoff game is decided by a ball hitting one of those catwalks.

[MidnightC]

Most Valuable Pedroia.

[staz]

He's so smooth on the transfer.

[DavidWellsAteNelson]

What, is Gross retarded or something?

God's special little clown.

[AgentOrange]

Beckett should nutpunch the top of the order as he comes on to the field.

It's kinda hard to field your position when you're curled up in a ball on the ground though. Might do more harm than good.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

He's so smooth on the transfer.

Seriously--he's just so fucking good.

[reggiecleveland]

That was subtle of Remy when discussing the rise in fielding %

"Struggled early in the year but Pedroia has only six and Lowrie only 2 errors."

Translation: Lugo sucked

[HomeBrew1901]

Ump is horrible.

[Sprowl]

Velocity seems to be 92-93, about 3 mph down from pre-"tingling". Should we be worried?

I took a quick look at Beckett's other two games since returning, against Tampa at Fenway on 9/10, when he topped out just under 96 mph, and at Texas on 9/5, when he was mostly 91-94. It could be park-to-park variation, but he does look a bit slower overall.

The results look OK though, and the curve is really falling off the table.

[MidnightC]

1-2-3.

Hey, offense--wake up!

[TFisNEXT]

Beckett is dealing.

[HomeBrew1901]

Beckett is dealing.

Unfortunately so is Sonnastine. Time for them to get going.

[PedroSpecialK]

Rays return the favor with a 10 pitch inning

[Sprowl]

Pedroia is just outstanding on the dive to his backhand. It's the F*ck Yeah play all over again.

And besides, weren't Lowrie's 2 errors both when he played 3B?

In other words, I blame Lugo too.

[CaptainLaddie]

AG

[favreauk]

Okay, she squirted the kid out. Send Bay back

[rembrat]

TB announcer bitching because Navarro gave Youkilis some time to recover on the ball he fouled off his foot. These guys don’t really like the Red Sox too much.

[TFisNEXT]

7 pitches, 2 quick outs. This is quite the appraoch at the plate after scoring 13 last night.

[staz]

Why couldn't a hurricane come in and just level this cave?

[sachmoney]

Nice play by Bartlett...

[MidnightC]

Oh I'm just so glad the offense has disappeared again against this fuckstick. Bring back Scott Kazmir!

[TFisNEXT]

1-2-3 shit inning by the offense again.

[staz]

Okay, she squirted the kid out. Send Bay back

So she's a squirter. Good to know.

[RedOctober3829]

Sonnanstine is always around the plate so this approach makes sense, but still have to execute it.

[sachmoney]

Someone needs to drop a bunt to throw this guy off his rhythm. We are really sucking right now. We need to change our approach at the plate.

[Foulkey Reese]

Yankees down 4-1 to the White Sox. Pettitte just walked Juan Uribe with the bases loaded to force in a run. He looks cooked.

[Harry Agganis]

Must get runs for Beckett.
