I don't have much high hopes for Wakefield tonight...

Why would you? Isn't Schill pitching?

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

Draft order announced today. Sox have the 27th and 28th spots in the first round.

I only caught the tail end of what the TB announcers were reaming Curt for, anyone get the whole story they were telling?

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

I have no idea what they would be pissed at Schilling for.

I take it NESN's gun isn't working right, because Schilling isn't throwing 85mph (and Jerry just said his fastball has been around 95mph so far).

Oh Schill yeah I coulda sworn I heard Wake pitching for tonight. Maybe he can be first pitcher to go 4-0. Papelsave might be a little tired so Foulke could see the 9th inning if needed? Wake seems like he hasn't had much knuckleball weather going for him early on.

The little bit I caught it seemed they were talking about the beanballs between these two teams in the past. Schill made some comment that they quoted him on but I didn't catch. They said his research was faulty and quoted Ed Wade (I think that's his name, the old Phillies GM) when he said "On the days he's pitching Schilling is a horse, every other day he's just a horse's ***." They refrained from saying *** though.

edit: Dunno why I said Sunday's... I got mixed up with football for some odd reason.

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

He was pitching inside to Gomes, maybe that brought it on, I don't know. Either way, sounds like they are complaining about nothing.

Thank you Gathright.

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

Thank you Gathright.

More like thank you Youkilis. That was just about one of my favorite hustle plays in recent memory, you can't do anything more than what Youk is doing to help this team win.

[[The two years I've been here, the reason that we've had issues came down really to Kazmir hitting multiple players every time he threw against us," Schilling said Tuesday on his weekly WEEI radio show. "I'm not really sure that any of it was intentional, but he kept hitting players. And when you're a young pitcher and you can't pitch inside, you don't. Because what you end up doing is getting players on your own team hurt. And that's a byproduct of rushing guys to the big leagues."

What Schilling failed to consider, however, were the facts. In seven career starts against the Red Sox, Kazmir hit five batters. In those seven games, Boston pitchers hit 10 Rays.

"We made it clear to them, for the most part, in that context, that we were only throwing at guys on their team because their young pitcher couldn't throw inside," Schilling said. "Obviously he's getting better at it, he's learning. But you don't learn to pitch in the big leagues inside. You learn how to do that in the minor leagues. If you can't do it, don't do it here because you end up getting people hurt."]]

don't have a direct link but it's from the St Pete times, I believe

Schilling REALLY needs to STFU

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

Schilling also made comments about Lou and the Rays color commentator last year so that may have brought on some of the comments made. I missed the first inning so I didn't catch them.

No surprise the Red Sox offense woke up tonight. Waechter is inconsistant and when he's off he sucks. Doesn't help the Rays have commited 4 errors either.

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

What the stats don't say is when those hit batters occurred. Schill just gave the team's interpretation of the hit batsmen. Kazmir probably also had lots of near hits that aren't going to show up any stats and the Sox didn't take kindly to those. Obviously, it was an exaggerration on his part to say that Kazmir hits multiple guys every start against the Sox.
