5/10 vs. Tampa Bay

[Dojji]

Not a single pitch to Crawford was in the strike zone.

 

Only one pitch to Upton was clearly in the strike zone.

Hell of a win and a fist pump by Paps.

[RHS]

Dirty watah!!

 

Paps gettin busy in the 9th with heat.

I hate you Papelbon.......brings back the days of Slocumb (1996 version).

Paps likes giving me near-strokes, but that was a satisfying win. Suck it, Rays.

Lol yea I second that.

I was at the game. I thought the save was blown with a man on third and no one out with Pena, Upton and Crawford coming to bat. Papelbon's performance was very impressive. I don't think there was one called strike in the three strike outs. There were 9 swings and only one foul tip (2nd strike to Upton). They just couldn't touch him.

 

I thought Ortiz' ball was going to leave the yard. We all did.

 

I thought Iwamura got a terrible read on the base hit by Bartlett. If he got a good read on that ball, he would have scored easily.

 

On the play at the plate on Crawford.. what kind of relay throw was that? The LF throws the ball to 2nd base for the throw home? Did they ever take high school Geometry? The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. If your the LFer and the play is at home you hit the SS or the 3B in the middle of the diamond. They just missed getting him, and the ridiculous triangulated relay was the reason.

I don't think it was meant to be a relay. They conceded the run and tried to keep the runner on first.

[Cocos Disciples]

The throw was pretty close though, maybe could have got him with a proper relay.

[BoSox21]

oh I'm sure they could have, they just gave up on the play at home too soon

^^^^ I was wondering about that. Were they showing the final shot on the scoreboard in centerfield or something?

[TheKilo]

Box seats have TVs in front of them

[Cocos Disciples]

They have TVs in the wall of the front row, so that might be it.

ah, I see. Made for a hell of a funny moment though, Burrell crapped himself
