Lugo struggles with Kazmir, and he knows it
SoxisSickies found this 6 months ago on wickedgoodsports.com
Entering yesterday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Red Sox shortstop Julio Lugo was hitting an anemic .188 against former teammate Scott Kazmir, with six strikeouts in 16 at-bats. His three hits? All singles. In short, Kazmir owns Lugo, and Lugo knows it, which might explain why Julio glared at Kazmir for several moments after the lefty flamethrower dismissed him with a second inning strikeout in yesterday’s game, on the 10th pitch of the at-bat. T

The look in this picture is not the respectful nod of a man who’s just been bested in a fair fight. It’s the bitter face of a man who’s just been struck out for the seventh time in 17 career at-bats…by a former teammate he doesn’t seem to like. Unfortunately, Lugo drew a walk in his next (and last) at-bat against Kazmir, when a strikeout might have made him snap completely. Guess we’ll have to wait for the next Sox-Rays series, scheduled for June 3-5 at Fenway.

LOL Lugos Wife knows that look ALL too well.. Maybe if he took the time to Study Kazmir he wouldnt be so Bad against him.. Lugo has A LOT to do before I consider him a vital part of this team

I would have to say our starting SS would be a vital part of the team.

Mo.. he commits way too many errors, and he can never be counted on at the plate.. he is way too inconsistant the only reason he is our starter is because of his contract $$

I am just saying that no matter who plays at short on any team it is a vital part of the team. Most important position in the field after the catcher. Not saying Lugo is earning his $$ just that he is vital.

I disagree.. would you also say Renteria was Vital to our team.. he was Terrible the Position is vital.. the player is not always though. I wish Cora or Lowrie would start and make lugo EARN his job back.. he was good when he was with Tampa

Despite the one error Lugo made , that drove up Lester's count.. he made up for it on later with some decent plays... He also was in TWO double steals !!! putting himself in scoring postion, blah blah blah...I understand how one would point a finger at an "underachiever" but if you look at Lugo's stats you may be surprised. I guess we need a Poster Beat down boy... oh well...besides I think if Kazmir crawled into a Sox jersey ..Lugo would share his Bed. ...View More
