Chicago Wrong Sox At Boston Right Sox Series.

[Brahmsian]

Is this going to be another night where I'm the only one posting?

I hope not.

Afternoon (1:35 PM) game today.

The scheduled Wrong Sox starter is 25 year old rookie Andre Rienzo.
Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This will be his 7th career start, with a 1-0 WL,
1.431 WHIP, and 4.2 walks/9 innings.

Opposing him will be the inconsistent Felix Doubront. Here's hoping today will
be one of his good days.

GO RIGHT SOX!

Today's Orioles-Sinstripes game will be on TBS starting about 30 minutes before our game.

Wei-Yin Chen will be Baltimore's scheduled starter, Pettite starting and hopefully losing for the
NYY.

GO BALTIMORE!

There is a game thread, titled "chen vs andy", on the Oriole forum, FYI.

Bard DFA'd. He's toast.

 

[Brahmsian]

Sorry to read that, but it's not the end of the world.

Baltimore-Sinstripe game just got started, BTW.

Not raining here in the South End at the moment, so I wouldn't expect more than
some rain delays in our game. Overcast, but that's all.

Quintin Berry one of 4 players added to the September roster today.

Who knows anything about him? I know zilch on the subject.

According to Baseball-Reference.com - MLB Stats, Standings, Scores, History he's a 2nd year guy who hasn't
demonstrated anything more than some pinch-runner speed. We got him for Clayton Mortensen
from from KC. KC got him off off waivers from Detroit.

Doesn't sound like we got any steal here, does it?

 

[Brahmsian]

Doubront needed 18 pitches and about 5 throws to first to get through one inning. Nearly hit abatter with his 2nd pitch of the game too!

Odds are seriously against a CG from him aren't they?

 

[Brahmsian]

How can ANY Red Sox fan want to trade Ellsbury?

Never mind who his agent is, we need to KEEP him!

 

[Brahmsian]

Felix being Felix we're likely to need all the runs we scored this inning.

We are ahead for the moment, anyway.

 

[Brahmsian]

A 1-2-3 inning for Doubront?

 

[Brahmsian]

File that last strike call under "Error, Umpire."

There are a few of those every game, but who needs to pretend to like them?

 

[Brahmsian]

BULLPEN TIME!

 

[Brahmsian]

I KNEW it was only a matter of time before Felix gave part of the lead!

We survived the inevitable though.

GO BOSOX!

 

[Brahmsian]

We lucked out on the call against Viciedo!

Bad ump calls do balance out sooner or later, people!

 

[Brahmsian]

Good thing we're getting to Uehara time!

Breslow proves himself expendable again! :rollseyes:

 

[Brahmsian]

Now it IS Uehara time!

Quintin Berry one of 4 players added to the September roster today.

he batted .258/.330/.354 with 21 stolen bases (caught 0 times) in 330 PA last year with the Tigers. He has a career line of .259/.353/.329 with 291 stolen bases (caught 72 times). He's turning 29 in November.

he's fast, but that's the only thing he has going for him.
