July 7th @ Detroit

Eh' date=' I don't think it was the right call, I just think Tito got extremely lucky.[/quote']

 

I don't think I would call it extremely lucky. I would call it lucky. Extremely lucky is Dave Roberts' stolen base as the catalyst to a 4 game run to come back from 3-0. timlin being able to get through an inning + without damage against Major League hitters is nothing odd for his career norms. It is rare only in the very recent past

[schillingouttheks]

Great job Lowell. Really dude...awesome. Fantastic. A+!

[Cocos Disciples]

Papelbon and Snyder are the only remaining pitchers for the Sox, and Mirabelli is the only remaining bench player.

Fair enough. But the point is...there was still a lot of luck involved in us still playing this game. This game probably should have been over twice by now.

faaack

[Cocos Disciples]

The high fastball gets Varitek every time. EVERY TIME!

[schillingouttheks]

...WHAT ARE YOU SWINGING AT? HOLY s***.

[TheKilo]

The bottom of the order f***ing SUCKS.

[a700hitter]

It would be great if this kid would hit a bomb right now.

[example1]

Yes. And there was a significant measure of luck involved.

 

How can you look at that as an inherently bad thing though? Baseball is a game of probabilities. As you know, a guy who gets on-base 40% of the time is a special player, and there are many different ways to get on base, let alone score runs, make outs, etc.,

 

baseball is a game absolutely filled with luck. The weather is luck, a bounce is luck, the particular umpire's strike zone is luck, a bad call is luck, the list goes on and on. There is always a significant measure of luck involved.

[Cocos Disciples]

Paps is the only one warming, he'll most likely come in in the bottom of the 13th.

[Cityofchampions33]

ughhhhhhhhhh

[riverside sluggers]

Sox now havent scored for the last 12 innings. The latest against a hack reliever

I look at it as a bad thing because I'm afraid Tito will continue to go to Timlin in big spots, and that the results would not be good. You said it yourself, these things tend to even out and Timlin was really fortunate to now allow a run.

 

I would much rather Tito uses his best pitchers in the most important spots.

Who was it that said: "Luck is the residue of design."

It's going to be a lot worse tomorrow too. The bats are going to be slow as hell after tonight's game.

Really? What's the score?

[riverside sluggers]

When was the last time Wake pitched in relief?

[schillingouttheks]

Wakefield to the bullpen!

 

Uh oh...that probably means we got some Mirabelli in our future if need be... sdjkasjgsrjabgaskbfgasjldfnasrjlbglasrjbg

Only if you look from the Red Sox side of thing. Look who the tigers have been throwing out there. Is it Joel Zumaya? No, it's Jason Grilli. Our lineup could have won this game already.

[zackredsox]

i hope there getting wakefeild ready to go in at 2B for lugo

[schillingouttheks]

...f***. Please don't hit the first batter you face, Paps.

Is good for Dice-K, no?

Yeah... but we also could have thrown Donnelly out there instead of Timlin.

 

We could go on about this forever.

[example1]

Wow, the most SBs since 2003 for Sheffield? It must be easier to get the good HGH outside of the limelight of NY.

[schillingouttheks]

Is good for Dice-K' date=' no?[/quote']

 

Very good. It's bad that he probably won't get too much run support, if any, tomorrow.

Is he off the DL?

 

We could go on about this forever. Let's. Where were we? Just kidding.

 

 

Papelbon needs a GB right here.

 

If anything, those booos for checking on Sheffield so many times should just make papelbon more effective. He has no problem with that type of thing. I think he thrives off it.

[Cityofchampions33]

last I can remember was 04?

So this makes things different how?

Nice point TheKilo. Dice can handle a 2-1 game.
