BOS 4, ATL 1: Beckett dealing and Papi swinging

TEAMS: Boston Red Sox,  Atlanta Braves

Beckett_delivers_pitch_07f1
Josh Beckett continued to dominate the Atlanta Braves and David Ortiz launched his eighth homer of the season beating the Braves, 4-1. Beckett pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing six hits, no walks and struck out six batters. Ortiz finished the night going 1-for-3 with a solo homer in the fifth inning to open the scoring for Boston. Beckett has made two starts against Atlanta in a week span and did not allow a run. J.D. Drew, Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis all picked up RBI's in the win. Star of the Game - Beckett It's pretty obvious why he is the Star of the Game. Had it not for him being sick Beckett may have pitched a complete game. Next Game - 6/27 vs. Atlanta Braves - Tim Wakefield/Javier Vazquez Wakefield continues to pitch for his first All-Star game selection. If Wakefield gets 10 wins I think he is selected as an All-Star this season.

Josh Beckett Doesn't Give a Damn What His Stomach Says, He Came to Party

First of all, to respond to the previous post, I can assume, Denton, that you only watched the first inning? Because the Smoltz I saw from innings two through five had a remarkably low suck factor.Of course, he's no Commander Kick Ass. In fact, earlier this season, Commander Kick Ass himself was no Commander Kick Ass. But Beckett is clearly back in the groove. And even as his...

It’s a bravo performance

Via boston.com  |  June 26, 2009
As a rule - and a prudent one, at that - manager Terry Francona avoids Josh Beckett when he pitches. That goes for before and during games. Why face that intensity, that competitiveness more than absolutely necessary? That was why Francona was set to send Beckett out for the eighth in a consecutive scoreless stretch that had reached ...

One mistake spells trouble for Stammen

Via Washington Times  |  June 25, 2009
At the end of what was perhaps his final night on a big league mound for a while, Craig Stammen could only sigh at the one costly pitch he threw to the Boston Red Sox. The other 85 offerings the Washington Nationals rookie hurled up there at one of the sport's most potent lineups were mostly effective. But that one - a full-count change-up to David Ortiz in the top of the fourth...
