Maybe he didn't do well because he started that game. That's stupid. Who decided to "Start Papelbon?" ;-)

I fear this is going to be a Bob Stanley situation, where I begin to sweat blood every time the ninth inning comes around ...

He'll either figure out how to become a fastball/slider closer like Eck and Rivera or he'll flame out.

"Jonathan Papelbon had another rough outing, this time against a Tampa Bay Single A squad at the minor league complex in Fort Myers. Papelbon threw 28 pitches over 1 1/3 scoreless innings, only 14 for strikes. He allowed two hits and a walk. Papelbon’s fastball registered at 91 miles per hour, he bounced a couple of changeups, and he constantly was adjusting the mound. His delivery never seemed fluid. Papelbon, who did not speak to reporters afterward, started the game and was relieved by Daniel Bard with one out in the second inning and a man on first base." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
