After an 8-6 win for the Sox today, I get to write my first weekly news of 2010! The Sox finished up this week at a 3-3 record, putting them in a tie with the Rays for 3rd place in the AL East. Dustin Pedroia (right) won 2 Player of the Week awards last year and this is his first of 2010 as he bombed the opposition with a line of .360/3/7 better than the others on the team. New accquisitions Adrian Beltre (.400/0/6), Mike Cameron (.294/0/0), and Marco Scutaro (.250/0/1) were consistent both offensively and defensively. The Sox pitched well mainly in two games, Lackey did great (0-0/0.00/3) and Beckett did well in one start, badly in another, a combined 1-0/6.17/5. Kevin Youkilis (.333/1/4) and Jacoby Ellsbury (.333/0/1) were very consistent as well. The Red Sox lost 1-2 to the Yankees and 2-1 to the Royals in their series. Next they face the Twins tomorrow at 4:10 ET on ESPN for the first ever game at Target Field.
Off to a mixed start but it's early. And it sure is nice that spring -- and baseball season -- are here!
ReplyDeleteWatching todays game against Twins (losing5-1) not looking great! Hopefully they can score some runs and turn it around.
