According to the gamecast, Hughes is up in the zone. I don't like pitchers continually pumping fastball after fastball up in the zone.

That's Phil Hughes' bread and butter. Like Scott Baker, he can thrive up in the zone.

As anybody found the grease spot on Buchholz?

escobarsie

[Riverbrian]

How hot is Escobar?

 

He's so hot... He's (blank)

 

so Hot... He's (Blank)

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Took a good defensive play to put out Hicks, and now Escobar is on.

 

Bottom of the order still pulling its weight.

[James]

Can't really be mad at the Hicks at bat either. He hit that pretty solid, which is good to see.

[James]

As anybody found the grease spot on Buchholz?

Yup. Hidden in his greasy looking hair.

[Riverbrian]

Brian Doziers birthday... According to Bert. 27 Years old... That's his prime of life and also when Jimi Hendrix... Janis Joplin... Kurt Cobain and Fat Pat died.

(ooh, a chance to exercise creativity!)

 

He's swinging a hot rod, and i don't mean a matchbox.

Has anyone found a spot that isn't?

That has to be frustrating for him. He hit that pretty good and the outfielder barely caught it.

Sounds like Hughes is 27 as well...

Aven't eard.

[Riverbrian]

Yup. Hidden in his greasy looking hair.

 

He probably has his own greasatologist... Takes her with him on the road... Grease traps under his locker.

 

Says things like... Let's go with the Bacon Grease today... That Silicone stuff didn't work... I got lit up.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I'd still pitch to him unless second or third were occupied and first base was open. I'm not a fan of the IBB and feel that it ends up burning teams as often as it helps.

 

Hughes is now pitching in Target Field, not Fenway or Yankee Stadium. Ortiz can't homer on a lazy flyball in this stadium. He'll have to crush it to get it out... Obviously, Ortiz is fully capable of doing that but it makes his job harder.

like yesterday and the day before? Twins pitchers would have been better off putting it on a Tee for Mr. Ortiz.

So hot, Buchholz ignited into flame from 60 feet 6 inches away.

Yes!!! Perfect

[Riverbrian]

Bogearts is in a "foul" mood.

 

Ha Ha... I crack myself up.

[mikeee]

dang. he better get the wiff after all those pitches!

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

nice job not giving in to Bogaerts. 7 foul balls in a row, yeesh.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Meeting on mound...

 

Hughes: I'm bored. I want some excitement. Can't I just walk Bogarts to face Ortiz?

 

Suzuki: nah, let's try to get this guy. Keep throwing strikes.

[Tibs]

Come on, Bert! Should've said that 10 pitches ago!

[Riverbrian]

dang. he better get the wiff after all those pitches!

 

He had to earn it... Hughes showing some toughness. I love it.

[mikeee]

ploufsie ploofy

[Riverbrian]

Perkins has the "Freshtival"

Sprint has the "Framily plan"

 

They must have the same "Fradison Fravenue" Frad Fragency.

[John Kelsey]

Nasty movement on that pitch.........a little too nasty if you ask me.

[Squirrel]

Chris Parmelee. Man muscles. Strong like bull.

Yeah. And he also seems to have a nice mane! Not glorious but very nice!

[Riverbrian]

Well... Back to work... Have fun all!!!

As anybody found the grease spot on Buchholz?

 

It's the area between the soles of his shoes and the top of his ball cap.
