'Sox did not provide Buch with much run support but all he needed was 1 run tonight. Way to go, Buch!
To think that he has been in the mix of many trade talks since his 2007 no-no. With Lester going on Sunday, I am feeling better about this series.
Interesting that 'Sox spent tons of money signing Lackey and extending Beckett and Lester and Buch and doing the job for millions less.

Indeed, Buch comes through yet again. He truly is one of the better starters in the rotation, second only to Lester.
ReplyDeletePoor Vic. You could see that his toe was still bothering him. He caught a lot of the game on his left knee.
Of course, I have to say a word or several about Mikey Lowell. He had not started in a game since May 20-- a whole nine days prior. For only having had one other start at first this season, he did great. AND, Mikey's RBI was the only run scored in the game. How ironic. His starting blew my whole trade theory out of the water. If something major was in the works, he definitely would not have played. I was a bit mystified as to why he was pulled in the top of the 9th. NESN's Don Orsillo (whom I like) said it was for defensive reasons. Um, this would have been different from the previous 8 innings??
Tito needs to find more ABs for Mikey Lowell. It is that simple. Give him some innings behind the plate -- he's a team guy, he'll do fine. What are they even playing V-Mart with a bad toe? Go figure.
