Would one imagine Napoli is still capable of throwing on the gear for a day, but who knows since they have stated they don't want him catching an inning this year.

 

I would have guess Napoli too but Jonny Gomes is the 3rd guy. The Red Sox are carrying 4 catchers!

3-0 changeup to Napoli. Interesting.

Positive spin: both teams are 0-1 for pitcher conferences

well shenanigans

I blame Mauer's pitch framing.

At the moment Hernandez is working on giving 'em right back.

 

I didn't mean to actually cause anything.

I left the room for five minutes.

 

Ell Oh Ell.

According to MLB's pitchtracker, Hernandez is getting squeezed on both the high strike and the low strike. We could be looking at a 12-10 game. OK, 15-10.

It was awful nice of Webster to spot Hernandez this many runs.

 

Awfully nice, indeed.

It was awful nice of Hernandez to keep things interesting for us fans.

You, young man, are grounded. Now sit at that computer until you are told you can leave.

God knows a tidy, 2 and a half hour affair at Fenway would have put us right to sleep

So Hernandez manages to give up the lead.

 

Amazing.

Gomes hits pretty good for a backup catcher. Awfully nice of him.

Think of it as 1 zip. It'll make you feel better.

Pedro's got a 1.000 BABIP tonight.

Florimon is clearly high on some kind of stimulant, probably a greenie.

It sure looked like that to me. Webster didn't have a very big zone either. However, a power pitcher might not need the corners the way Hernandez does. They can probably sent Hernandez down and replace him with Gibson. Rochester is not that far away.

This is absurd.

Gotta go away for an hour or so. Hope I don't miss too much of the second inning.

Too bad the Sawks will have the last at bat.

Steroid/meth cocktail, sounds like.

Jeff Nelson umpiring tonight?

So does the Florimonster.

Gibson pitches tonight for Rochester. Wouldn't be surprised at all if his next start is at Target Field.

 

Hernandez can have a role, just needs to be a LOOGY.

Well, this is nothing if not entertaining.

we're in the bottom of the sixth, correct?

Willing"hammer", my ass.

Sure seems that way.

One has to wonder if Mauer could bat .400 in a Red Sox uniform.
