Who will be watching Sox / A's in Japan (1 Viewer)

Why on earth would the schedule maker have Boston play two games to start the season then have them play more exhibition games?

Is it just me or is Foulke's wind-up completely whacked? Looks like he's short-arming the ball to the plate.
That's how he's always thrown. Odd delivery but he's not a power pitcher so it's not a big deal.
Well, not sure how he'll hold up in Oak-town this year. He was very fortunate that the balls were dying in the outfield today, because he gave up at least two flyballs that could very well have been homers elsewhere.

Again.. that's sorta how he rolls. He's got a decent fastball but his specialty is his changeup. He doesn't strike a lot of folks out but folks typically struggle to make very good contact on his fastball because they've always got that Changeup in the back of their minds...was the same way in boston. Given the size of the park in Oakland, I think he'll be fine... though I don't see him returning to the caliber of guy he was in 04 for Boston.
