[TheKilo]

Adam Jones is a good player.

[Coco's Disciples]

The HR issues continue...

[TheKilo]

7 good pitches, one shitty one.

[TheKilo]

No reason not to score 8+ off Olson tonight

[Coco's Disciples]

Olson has some pretty shitty numbers. Kill him.

[Coco's Disciples]

Not even close in that AB.

[TheKilo]

Jed Lowrie does something good right here.

[Coco's Disciples]

NESN just showed: 13.06 ERA in his last 3 starts.

[TheKilo]

Annoying.

[Coco's Disciples]

We really should have gotten something there, but I get the feeling we'll have plenty more chances.

[Coco's Disciples]

I thoroughly enjoy double plays.

[TheKilo]

17 pitches for Byrd through 2.

[TheKilo]

One batter too late.
