AL East 2010

Worse than that. He has no swinging strikes! How can that be when his fastball is presently clocked at 84 MPH?

Maybe they think it's a change up and are not swinging at it ?

My typo. He has been timed at 94 MPH.

Red Sox placed OF Mike Cameron on the DL with an abdominal tear.

The Sox have called up Josh Reddick (I'm VERY high on this kid), and Reddick will start in CF tonight against the Rangers.

Hopefully this will provide a spark for a team that's desperate for one!

Speaking of sparks, it would be nice to get Ellsbury back too...

Darnell McDonald.....................never heard of him before tonight!

Anyway, he along with Josh Reddick (the other player recalled before tonight's game) were the heroes tonight.

I googled Mr. McDonald and this is what I got of wikipedia..............

In 2010, he joined the Boston Red Sox organization. In April, McDonald's contract was purchased by the major-league club from Triple-A Pawtucket after Jacoby Ellsbury went on the disabled list, and he hit a game-tying pinch hit home run against the Texas Rangers at Fenway Park in his first at bat on April 20, 2010.
On April 20th, 2010, McDonald pinch hit in the bottom of the 8th inning with the Red Sox against the Texas Rangers and hit a game tying home run, becoming the 9th player to home run for the Red Sox in their first Red Sox at bat. He was the third ever to pinch hit for the Red Sox and have their first hit be a home run. His home run over the Green Monster tied the game at 6-6 in the eighth, and in the bottom of the ninth, he added a game winning hit off the Green Monster to lead the Red Sox to a win against the Rangers, 7-6.

The Darnell McDonalds, Josh Reddicks, Jeremy Hermidas and Billy Halls of the world will have to patrol the outfield until Cameron, Ellsbury and Drew (lets face it, he'll be on there sooner or later) come back from injury.

Yikes, rough game for V-Mart last night. I felt real bad for him. Anyone catching a knuckleballer for that matter. It is not an easy chore.

Look for Mike Lowell to get over 400 at-bats this year and be the Red Sox's most valuable plyer.

 

[AntAltMike]

Update: Lowell just homered.

The Darnell McDonald era has just begun in Boston.

 

[Jimbo]

I was hoping Darnell McDonald played 1B ....

How long till Theo gets on the horn to San Diego and inquires about Adrian Gonzales again ....
Gonzo him self is off to a slow start as well, only 2 HR's and 6 rbi, but he's hitting .298
