vs. RED SOX, 4/19

[Can_of_corn]

Darn it Adam, you needed a triple for the cycle. ONLY a single?!?!

Gary Thorne has had a few drinks, I think.

He said Adam has been "un-outable" today.

Isn't that the second time he has been short a triple for the cycle this season?

[SteveA]

Come on Delmon, need a hit. Don't want to be the only hitless guy in the lineup today.

They even brought in a lefty for you.

[weams]

Tommy's had a lot of flukey stuff so far.

Hopefully these two innings are a confidence booster.

Yes. Many people that just look at the stats don't see that. His velocity has been fine.

[BucksBirdsRBest]

He hit .320 last year with runners in scoring position. And was batting .500 with RISP this year coming into today.

I'll take your word for that. It must be another one of those "Wei-Yin Chen things", a great player with the resume' to prove it. But somehow whenever I watch him, he doesn't live up to his rep. In Adam's case, today is a HUGE exception.

And I'm not alone on this one. I can't get my brother to go out to OPACY anymore because he's seen Chen start each of his last three trips out. And each time he pitched very poorly. I don't know how to explain it.

Remember when Cruz was like an inch away from the cycle in Boston last year?

[MurphDogg]

Didn't have the stats handy but I thought he was really good with RISP. But I'm sure the BBRB has some arbitrary date that he can use to show that Adam Jones has been slightly subpar since.

Maybe Adam performs differently in games that he watches and the numbers can't be trusted. I think OF#5 used that defense once.

[schittenden]

I hope we can bat around so Jones can get the 3B.

You can add me to the chorus wondering why Garcia isn't part of today's gameplan.

Haha yeah. Didn't he get thrown out trying to leg out a triple?

How is today an exception? Is this the first game you've seen this year? He's batting .457 with 5 HRs.

[Crazysilver03]

They have to suspend him. Wasn't much of a bump. But it was a bump. We shouldn't have to worry about him tomorrow.

He will appeal the suspension and be in the game tomorrow.

You and your brother... So it's a fact.

At least you do trust the numbers, that is a step in the right direction.

[ArtVanDelay]

Haha yeah. Didn't he get thrown out trying to leg out a triple?

Yeah. I thought he was safe at first. It looked to be a guaranteed triple but I think he lost steam.

[Crazysilver03]

This is the best Tommy has looked all year.

Talk about making a ballsy statement.
