Maybe he can work himself up to 91/92. 91 with good movement can be really tough.

Even 88 with good movement can be tough.

He's not Verlander with magical powers of getting more heat as the game goes on.

 

[ReMaKe]

Good inning.
Doesn't look that bad. Here's hoping he can give us, at the very least, 5 good innings.

 

[JCizzle]

He just went 1-2-3, that's going to do wonders for him mentally.

He seems to have good movement, but I don't think he can fool this lineup twice with high 80s stuff.

 

[Sanjuro]

Speed Papi

 

[ReMaKe]

Big Papi can run!!

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Lynn has the worst BABIP luck

implosion in 3...

 

[Mr. Enigma]

A World Series game ends on an obstruction call and now David Ortiz gets an infield single. This World Series is CRAZY.

 

[ReMaKe]

Oh Gomez..

 

[DarkFlow]

Not if his stuff is shit.

Well Farrell said he was most fine physical, but his mental was off.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

$99.99 for Cardinals Care! Thanks Gomes!

 

[Opiate]

Lynn has the worst BABIP luck

implosion in 3...

Nope.

 

[Dragon]

Between Gomes and Drew its gotta be the first four hitters tonight for the Sox.

 

[Malo]

crafty like when he stole those laptops?

Him and Cam Newton are best buds.

 

[Sanjuro]

Well Farrell said he was most fine physical, but his mental was off.

dat body language.

 

[vikki]

He's not Verlander with magical powers of getting more heat as the game goes on.

It's not like I said he was going to be throwing 98. As he gets comfortable and loosens up his velocity can increase to something closer to what he is used to throwing. It may not though, considering he is a bit injured and it was already mentioned that he really didn't throw hard.

And you can see his velocity dropping already and is having trouble throwing a strike. We'll see how this goes.

 

[RdN]

I have absolutely no faith in Buccholz tonight.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Molina "terrible batter" lol

 

[ReMaKe]

Alright, time to start getting Lackey ready.

 

[eznark]

I'm watching the Packers game so just catching bits and pieces and following on twitter. Still in the high 80's with his two seamer? That's good for once through a lineup.

 

[Carlbeego]

Naw they better get him out of there.

 

[DarkFlow]

Well I don't think they will stick with him long if this starts looking iffy at least.

 

[vikki]

I think these hitters may be dumbfounded by the slowball.

 

[RdN]

What is a 'first pitch strike'?

 

[DietRob]

Boston-GAF it looks like you got Bronson Arroyo back out there tonight. Good luck.

 

[DarkFlow]

I think these hitters may be dumbfounded by the slowball.

 

[Sanjuro]

Yup.

 

[ReMaKe]

2 innings complete. 3 more to go.

 

[Edwardo]

Buck has to note that Drew is in for his defense.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

terrible ABs won't get it done, even against a pitcher throwing slop

 

[ReMaKe]

terrible ABs won't get it done, even against a pitcher throwing slop

His velocity is bad, however his command is not.
Command>Velocity.

 

[JCizzle]

Drew needs to be told to go up there and not swing at all until he has two strikes, and even then never swing with anyone on base. Just get as many pitches out of him as possible.

 

[ReMaKe]

What's with these two pitch outs? I don't like agressive red sox.

Interesting, so they're gonna review the obstruction rulling this winter. Funny, I said they should review it itt yesterday, everyone disagreed.
#I BeRight!

 

[Little Green Yoda]

His velocity is bad, however his command is not.
Command>Velocity.

Agreed. But if he didn't have either, he wouldn't be throwing slop - he'd be throwing BP.

 

[Opiate]

Was that last pitch on Lynn a ball or strike? I couldn't tell.

 

[Edwardo]

Jeez, Clay's wasting pitches on Lynn. But a K is a K.

Was that last pitch on Lynn a ball or strike? I couldn't tell.

At first look, strike.

 

[RdN]

7 pitches to retire a pitcher.. Tough.

Fuck......

 

[ReMaKe]

Come on Ellsbury!

 

[DarkFlow]

Bring in lackey!

 

[ReMaKe]

Get Lackey in here!

 

[RdN]

What a terrible pitch that was...

 

[DarkFlow]

Almost 50 pitches in the 3rd is bad.

 

[3N16MA]

You just described something that nobody in MLB has anymore in 2013.

It was kind of my point.

 

[Sanjuro]

It was kind of my point.

That was my point as well!

 

[DarkFlow]

I'll take 4 innings of 1 run stuff from clay at this point. If he can do that, we have a shot.

 

[ReMaKe]

1 run in 3 innings, not that bad tbh.
Our offense is the problem, we're only batting 188. this series. We need get some runs now!

 

[Edwardo]

Els had like 3 errors all year. He has 2 in back to back games. Wtf..

 

[BFIB]

Usually its a 4th Lynning. Let's see what happens.

 

[brianjones]

do all the cardinals pitchers have the same beard

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Usually its a 4th Lynning. Let's see what happens.

4th Lynning starts with 2 outs.

Edit: he broke the curse!

 

[DarkFlow]

Our bats just plan suck.
