Hey, Fish. Can lowe win today?

[bigbet1234]

against the twins?

 

[packer2012]

My name is not Fish, but I do not think Lowe will beat the Twins.

 

[Fishhead]

Watched Lowe throw every pitch last time out.

Pitched remarkably well after a very tough first inning when he got himself into a jam on a couple cheap infield hits.

Having said that, I dont really have a strong liking for him today considering his sinker ball will be tested today by the artificial surface at the Metrodome against a quality team.

 

[bigbet1234]

thanks for the input fish, as aways.

i am on minny today.

You could very possibly be correct.

The Red Sox current crop of players have hit .317 lifetime vs Radke, including both Manny and Nomar hitting .370 lifetime against him with 9 total homers!

All of Mannys six hits vs Radke have been homers.

The Twins have hit .309 vs. Lowe by the way.

Two notes on Nomar-- He did not play in last nights ballgame, and he will know at 4est if he shall be finishing his season out in a Red Sox uniform.

 

[ppeter]

I use the "L" word on the OVER

 

[Fishhead]

After all this, and I have no real opinion.

Tough call!

 

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

Lowe has given up about 4 runs, in every start for how long? 7 or 8 games. And there are a few bigger numbers in there, as 4 is the best. This stiff would not know a quality start if you gave him a 3 foot zone. If the zone is tight, bp time. Every game. BoSox just blasted Twins last night. Not so sure it continues today. Plastic ball vs. green monster. Payback for last night. Starting pitchers...Radke did win in Bosox, last month. 3er 6 2/3. Bosox batted .250 and Ortiz was the only RBI guy. If he can come close to that, I am thinking Derek gets roughed up for 5 or more. B+ play...Best Wishes...OF

Short trip for new first baseman for Red Sox. Hope this Morneau guy comes through. Twins didnt get much for Mankewicz.

 

[Fishhead]

Thanks for the gold glover Kyhawk........... only 20 errors in over 600 games at 1b in career.

 

[barman]

Yes, but you know full well that if he's in the 6th game of the World Series and Mookie Piazza hits a squibber up the line, it will go right thru his legs, allowing the tying and go ahead runs to score in the 9th....

 

[Fishhead]

The Red Sox just came out like bandits and nobody knows it.

They have essentially traded Nomar for three roster players.

2 with gold gloves and another who is 32 for 33 in the stolen base department.

Speed and defense, something I have been asking for the last 40 years.

 

[Mr.Smith]

speed and defense are nice. sure the red sox are always woefully short on both.

but you don't win championships with speed and defense. you win because you have the best overall team. the red sox don't. and trading Nomar for a couple of zeros doesnt help matters. they don't make the playoffs now.

 

[IDENTITY]

didnt the marlins win on speed and defense?

 

[RobFunk]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>didnt the marlins win on speed and defense? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> that is pretty much true for the most part. that, along with pitching. they sure the hell didnt have a lineup full of power hitters.

 

[Fishhead]

The Red Sox can now field a gold glove player at SS, 2B, and 1B.

How many teams can say that?

 

[Fishhead]

Actually with Damon, Cabrerra, Pokey, and Varitek up the middle defensively..........that is pretty damn strong.

 

[Mr.Smith]

good luck red sox fans who still believe in this team.

they lose tonight and I predict they finish 5 games or so over 500.

it's sad what has been done to the great line-up of last year and for very little gain elsewhere.

 

[Fishhead]

You may be right, we can only wait and see.
