I know Titio is probably thinking Tek will bust out at some point, but he will need more rest anyway, especially when the Sox make the playoff push, so he can be fresher for September.<BR/><BR/>Thanks always for the kind words, and I hope you've had a good holiday weekend too!BklynSoxFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512844600688808055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24009374.post-54216275085745487552008-07-06T06:34:00.001-04:002008-07-06T06:34:00.001-04:00As for Lugo, you said it all!!!!!!!As for Lugo, you said it all!!!!!!!Peter Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625257724065648318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24009374.post-46137822198026241802008-07-06T06:34:00.000-04:002008-07-06T06:34:00.000-04:00I love 'Tek too, but I also have to wonder if one ...I love 'Tek too, but I also have to wonder if one game off in five is enough. He'd still be there to give the pitchers his irreplaceable insight on pitch selection, and maybe every other day off (or something like that) would give him renewed confidence at the plate.<BR/> <BR/>I hope your weekend was a great one, John, the Mighty Q.Peter Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625257724065648318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24009374.post-44955505483696690672008-07-05T20:37:00.000-04:002008-07-05T20:37:00.000-04:00It hurts to see Tek struggle the way he does.

He's a warrior, but he's in such a valley right now that if there was a decent pinch hitter available I would have hit for him. <BR/><BR/>There's not going to be much out there as far as catchers, so I have no idea what the Sox will do with Tek.<BR/><BR/>But I pray they give Lugo his walking papers.BklynSoxFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512844600688808055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24009374.post-43193188680354345072008-07-05T20:31:00.000-04:002008-07-05T20:31:00.000-04:00Crisp had a tough AB; a borderline called strike a...Crisp had a tough AB; a borderline called strike and a nasty pitch for the K. But Lugo had two pitches out over the plate. Very frustrating. And Varitek had a hitters' count, as you point out. <BR/><BR/>Varitek needs a collosal turnaround to show he's worth commiting to for an entire year; i think its pretty unlikely he's resigned. that you can reasonably suggest a no-stick back up get more AB's shows how far he's fallen. <BR/><BR/>And how badly does Varitek fail the 'do you want this guy up in with the game on the line' test?Soxlosophyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297442834435511006noreply@blogger.com
