vs. RED SOX, 4/26

[ArtVanDelay]

Sheesh. How long can Paredes keep this up? Too bad he has no position. These coaches need to teach him how to play a little bit of 2b. Take grounders there and learn some LF/RF every single day during BP and during drills.

How about 1B?

[Ori-Al]

Bud's velocity is down.

[Can_of_corn]

Bud's velocity is down.

This is his first time out past the fifth this season, he's tired.

[Sanfran327]

If he could play defense then it would be evident by now.

Probably. If he hits this well for the entire season, I won't care if he never plays an inning in the field.

We have the DH rule in the AL. Paredes will always have a position if he keeps hitting.

Right. It would just be nice to have a little more flexibility.

How about 1B?

Sure, why not? But we seem to have that position covered by LH and RH hitters. But I'll always take a little more depth.

A man of character, intellect, humor, humility, and charity. Whats not to like about Guthrie?

His wardrobe? = P

[TonySoprano]

Dustin Pedroia, world's tallest hobbit.

[Emory Eagle]

This game is certainly helping our pythagorean win/loss expectation.

Thankfully we play in the AL.

[Uli2001]

This is 2014 Bud. He has just hit 96 mph in the seventh inning. His command is also back. He is hitting all his spots. Very encouraging.

[Emory Eagle]

Oh man, remember the Royals trolls? Eff that team.

[gmelson26]

12-0.. looks like it's safe enough for a Garcia sighting! = )

[Slaytallideth]

Pretty sure we will go to the bullpen next inning. Hopefully we won't implode again. If Bud can get one more out here this game should help his confidence (and ERA) greatly.

[mrbig1]

Buck baby Bud is done.

[Malike]

It's really not. He's served more meatballs than Sotto Sopra today. He's been very lucky until just now.

[ArtVanDelay]

He's a big target. 6'3. Davis and Pearce probably gone after this year and I'm not huge on Christian Walker.
