WTH, he didn't want to get his pants dirty?And then he booted that ball in the outfield. This Tribe fan loves Manny being Manny. The big dope.

Exactly why Crisp is playing is a mystery, where is the kid?

"Sabathia seems to be settling in." Looking much better than his last few starts, maybe he needs a less stressful environment. Still looking a little stressed but will only get better if the Sox don't get any offense going.

Yeah, if you’re talking about Beckett’s pitch limit, he doesn’t have one tonight. There’s no tomorrow. Beckett will pitch as long as he can and as long as he’s effective.

You’re reading that wrong. One number is total pitches. One is total strikes (which are also of the set of total pitches). You don’t add the numbers.

MLB.com has Sabathia 50 pitches with Papi batting.

It’s that pull swing on outside pitches that is so damned infuriating.

"Theyll let Beckett go up to 120+ in this game".Not likely, but C.C. Might be sleeping by the sixth.
