It's time for Reddick to hit one out.

... of the infield.

[InsideTheParker]

Jacobs is hitting .228.

Is it any different from .235 Ortiz hitting ahead of .290 Lowell?

Either the NESN chiron was wrong or my husband is going blind.

[Rough Carrigan]

FU Lowell

Casey Kotchman: I'll second that!

[TFisNEXT]

There's the curve,.

Curveball what

If Clay keeps pitching like this the Sox are going to be very, very dangerous in playoffs. He's just maturing before our eyes. All that great stuff is now starting to be harnessed.

EDIT: 97 down and away... WTF?

He's still a Yankee fan, right? You do that shit for too long and you go blind.

Yankee fan is wrong

[Sprowl]

It's called a hit and run, and the Gb was well hit.

Solidly enough hit for a two-bouncer, and yes I know the name for the play you describe, as does everybody else here.

When Buchholz can hit the top edge of the strike zone with a slider, I'm pretty pleased about his command of the pitch. There's credit to be given to the batter for getting on top of that pitch if the runner wasn't stealing on his own. This is a cluster of sliders I think Sox fans can be very happy with.

They'll need him because if the MFYs choose the series with the day off, the Sox are stuck with having to go with 4 starters provided the series goes that far.

This kid.

Very nice, very nice.

Clay Fucking Buchholz: Future Ace

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Nice little inning there for Clay.

Time to tee off, offense.

[GreyisGone]

Solid inning. Would watch again.

[Shelterdog]

How fast is the gun? Gameday has him touching 98!

[Adirondack jack]

Watching the KC broadcast, they're asking the viewers the following question to text in.

Which former Royal will help their team the most in the playoffs?
a.) Damon with the Y's
b.) De La Rose with the Rox's
c.) Ibanez with the Phil's
d.) Ramirez with the Sox

Ouch.
Raul is the quick leader out of the gates, gathering 67% of the votes.

[Ed Hillel]

Is NESN's gun broken?

[EllisTheRimMan]

Wait for the bottom of the third.

Elvis is setting the Sox down.

You don't think they'll need him if they only have to go with 3 starters?
Someone should start a poll.

KC may be one of those stadiums a little on the fast side: Greinke and Beckett were throwing also lots of 97s. Buchholz does seem to be throwing very well.

Yankee fan is wrong

Did you see the NESN info, by the way, and 2) when does this batting tee start giving up a few runs to his esteemed opponents, the Boston REd Sox?

[SemperFidelisSox]

The gun is different because of the time difference in KC. Idiots.

[Sprowl]

That's a 2007 ELJE BABIP special.

[Manramsclan]

Wait for the bottom of the third.

unfortunately I will have to because I was "catching up" after pausing and going to walk the dog. Then I pushed the wrong button on the remote and the channel changed......grrrrrrrrrrr

I'm happy to hear that he got the feel for the curve back.

Consistently 97 is something else. He's rounding into form at just the right time.

[SoxInTheMist]

I love Els but he seems to make the worst contact on balls I've ever seen. Constant barrage of flairs and bloops.

[C4CRVT]

Love that AB from Ellsbury.

[4-6-3]

They need him and they need him to be throwing extremely well because they'll need a strong 3 because the number 4 starter Dice-K is still hit or miss (pun intended).

I'm too busy gaining knowledge from the game thread to follow NESN graphics.

And 2)NOW.

[Adirondack jack]

The ump tossed Greinke?

Who cares as long as he gets on base?

July when they were eliminated from playoff contention.

Should Betancourt have chased after it?

[Sox-and-Bees]

Nice job, Pedey & Ells.

[Ed Hillel]

Red Sox got a point

[Manramsclan]

SPEED KILLS

Man, I love the new Red Sox.

Ellsbury doing that is something that I haven't seen my whole lifetime with the Sox until Coco, and Ells is bringing it to a new level with smarts and speed.

[SemperFidelisSox]

NESN charged with an error too for hiring Casey. Dude, shut it

[Ed Hillel]

Gordon has been the biggest bust since Brien Taylor

[Adirondack jack]

The KC guys are detailing this, Greinke said. "hey Tom (or whatever his name is) why don't you go with the strike zone."

The ump tossed him? Donald didn't even get in an F-bomb and the think-skinned ump tossed him. Jesus.
