Windage?! Who brought the crack to the Fox announcer booth?

 

Hmmm...

 

Wherewithall

Windage

 

Is McCarver making up words?

[stocker323]

Aight, big inning here. We need at least 2 with Rivera probably coming in for 2 innings.

[yeszir]

I'm listening to the radio (thank god). Explain this "windage" in context please.

[stocker323]

"When Varitek gets back to the dugout, his teammates will tell him he had great windage on that throw"

[stocker323]

Ugh, disappointing inning. With Ortiz and Manny, this inning had promise.

[Soxfan1]

score?

McCarver remarked that Varitek had the perfect windage on that throw down to third base. Which he "clarified" by saying it wasn't too far to the right or to the left. By which I assumed he meant to say aim.

 

This followed a comment by McCarver that was meant to go with a comment on how Matsui coming off the bag was what actually resulted him being tagged out. But McCarver had to change horses in midstream as the Fox slow motion replay showed clearly Matsui getting tagged out on his lead foot before he reached the bag. So McCarver clarified his statement by pointing out that Matsui coming off the bag "made sure" of the out after Matsui was already out.

[yeszir]

score?

You have the internet. There have got to be other, quicker ways of finding out the score than asking here. It's 7-4.

[stocker323]

Timlin in, how we are going to get 3 runs off Rivera, is beyond me.

But I'd rather have six shots at him than just three in one inning. At the very least that's more pitches he can't throw tomorrow.

 

 

Schilling also up in the pen.

[ARod2212]

Sheff smoked that ball.

Good point , but with Leiter pitching tomorrow, I'm not expecting to see Rivera tomorrow anyway.

[Tek4pres]

Sheff smoked that ball.

For a single. Thank you, Green Monster.

[Tek4pres]

Nice pitch from Timlin there. Some nice pitching in a tight spot.

[Tek4pres]

Stalllllllllllllllling! At least we get to see another shot of Melky

[mosox]

Time to score some runs.

[Tek4pres]

Olerud hitting for Bellhorn again. Looks like Francona may finally be losing confidence. Welcome to the club Tito.

[mosox]

Wow, a pinch hitter for Bellhorn. Way to go Tito.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Well.... it's up to Schil to keep this game to within three runs. Let's go Red Sox!

[mosox]

Nice splitter from Schill, so far.

[stocker323]

Schill looking good.

[stocker323]

We still need him to show more confidence in the fastball without that he's nothing. It still looks like he's in the high 80's.

[stocker323]

Ballgame. 7-4 final.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Umpires thoughts with Rivera in: Hey, it's one of the greatest closers ever... let's give him every call so he can convert another save. If the ball is outside of the strikezone, just give him the call anyway. And if Renteria doesn't go around, say he did so we can all go home. Pathetic... Rivera is still beatable and I GUARANTEE he blows another save against us this year. Quote me on that.

Sour grapes.

[mosox]

The Fox gun had Schill topping out at 92. Gonzalez did great. Svuem was terrible. Trot did not deserve to be benched for Millar. If Tito has no faith in Trot against lefty's at least he has come to his senses and has started pinch hitting for Bellhorn.

[ARod2212]

Schilling was consistently 87 with his fastball, topped out at 92 on one pitch. He's going to need more than that to be successful.

[Sox fan in Tex]

I still give Rivera credit, ARod2212, but I still think he's beatable. Who knows what would have happened if Renteria wasn't rung up on a bad call. Props to Rivera, but if anyone can get to him, we can.

[Are U Kidding Me]

Yankees played a good sound baseball game. I gotta give them props for coming back from that beating yesterdeay to win this one. Tomorrow night should be fun.

[Are U Kidding Me]

I think that Cano kid is going to win rookie of the year. He had three hits today and is batting close or at .300
