They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

Cobb is having a terrible year to my surprise. Pomeranz has been bad due to velocity drop too though.
Orioles are throwing their best pitching matchups against the Sox in this series. Not really a "gimme" here considering how bad the Orioles record is.
I hope the Sox are facing the Orioles more often after the all-star break (when Machado and Broch should be traded).

The power is just insane. Where do you pitch him? The only hope is to fool the guy so badly that he's misses it by a wide margin ...because if he has any idea where it's being pitched it's just as likely gone as not. |

Holt saw more pitches in that at-bat than Nunez has in his last 10

I don't think I've ever seen a non-closer this poor at containing the running game.

I love this new world in which Xander hits with authority. Hope we stay here.

Baltimore games are blacked out in Raleigh - just tuned in to Joe C in time to hear the Xander bomb (working our way through the new Twin Peaks...can only watch one episode per night - so, so weird)

They had Swihart ready to pinch hit for JD. That is quite something, for sure. The Sox appear really righteous or really weak. i cant decide.

Sandy Leon is the man, I'm not surprised by Price's outing with the King behind the plate. I don't care how poorly he hits, he should be the primary catcher until Vazquez shows some semblance of an MLB player.
And I reeeeeeeaaaaally hope that Pedroia is open to batting 9th upon his return. I'm fine with Mookie staying in the leadoff spot if that's where he's comfortable, but we need someone to get on for him every once in a while.

Dare I say it? We could be witnessing a CG shut out with less than 100 pitches? I would give a standing O for that !!

Eck, referring to the batter: he's done, he's frozen, "he's a pair of shoes."
