Nice play by Lowell to get ARod! Dice K with two strikeouts in the first...

His changeup looks really good, it reminds me of Fernando Rodney's changeup which is a really good one too...

Pettitte looks good too though. I never feel good about our chances with him on the mound.

Dice-K looking real good so far.

Nice to see Youk showing off some power.

Almost a costly error by Lugo but fortunately he got the double play anyways a batter later...

Daisuke got squeezed big time in the third inning. He's going to have to learn to keep his composure, especially against the Yankees. They get unfair calls like that all the time in their favor. You have to overcome it to beat them.

I don't get how Dice can look so good for 2 or 3 innings then one inning he's all over the place.

Rondo_Fan · Post #11 » by **Rondo_Fan** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 12:40 am

He gets rattled.

Man, Dice K with HUGE control problems all of a sudden and the Yankees get hits with one excuse me swing after another... :banghead:

I will say, a lot of those pitches that were called balls were pretty damn close. He got squeezed on at least 2 of those ball 4 calls.

And of course, the Sox bats are back to sleep.

Not sure I call that rattled. He's then able to calm himself down and get out of the innings. He just always hits a bump in the middle innings.

Nice comeback for the Sox.

Nice that Pettitte felt he had to match Dice K's wildness!!! :clap:

And it all started with Lugo getting on base despite facing a 1-2 or 0-2 count. That's what a leadoff hitter has to do, nice job...

While I'm glad they got the lead back, that is the type of inning they could've put them away. Chased Pettite. Proctor comes in and Coco swings at the first pitch. Hopefully they can keep it now.

Post #17 » by **sunshinekids99** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 1:16 am

Not really blaming Coco for swinging at that pitch tho. It was a belt high fastball a pitch he used to be able to handle.

Rondo_Fan · Post #18 » by **Rondo_Fan** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 1:19 am

I don't like him swinging at that pitch.

One good sign, though. This year, the Yankees really DO suck. At least so far...

Post #19 » by **Flaming Mo** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 1:19 am

Nice bounce back inning from Dice K!!!

LUGO GOES DEEP!!!!
