Gomes in the field while KJ is the DH? Maybe because Gomes played in Boston and knows the oddball dimensions well?

LOL at Fredi playing Gomes in LF

interesting, didn't think of that. i'd still have KJ out there tho.

 

[gilesfan]

Fredi be Fredi

Yeah, I think I would also.

 

[nsacpi]

Expecting a huge game from Jonny Gomes returning to his prior scene of glory

 

[weso1]

Markakis might have a shot at a dong tonight. A pop up to LF could be good enough.

 

[Braves1976]

LOL @ Gomes playing LF and KJ who has a 3 DRS in LF starting at DH. Wow..

Fredi being Fredi.

Really odd unless he is trying to protect KJ coming off injury.

 

[Garmel]

We really needed Cunningham or Terd in this series. We have two guys in the lineup tonight that struggle against RH pitching.

 

[Tapate50]

Would rather see Terdo up here instead of Gomes IMO.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I would of loved to play Cunningham in LF tonight. I dislike Fredi way more than I thought I ever would.

Fredi's logic: Gomes must know this place like the back of his hand. /endlogic

Gomes' lack of range really not an issue here.

 

[stpeteirish]

Sox in a tailspin but the Braves come to town. Remember last year? When better pitching blew game after game vs the Sox?

Didn't we lead in all four games and ole last year?

 

[Garmel]

LOL!

Gomes on The Green Monster: "its a monster, you can only hope to tame it. You cant run through it...I've tried that a few times"

 

[Julio3000]

Maybe we can sweep 2 and get another ex-pitcher manager fired.

And then hire one of them, please?

Range? That's the least of Gomes' defensive woes.
