Four down. Sox can win. More runs please.

 

That bad call against Lowell is looking big.

 

I missed what you are referring to. What happened?

So I saw an article that claimed Bay was, statistically, a terrible fielder. Would you agree with that? Visually he's seemed ok to me...works hard, runs fairly well, and at least doesn't appear "lazy" out there etc.

 

And...damn the Jays for tying the game.

I bolded the most important words in your post. Just because a sportswriter pulls up a bunch of random and unrelated statistics to back up an opinion he has already made and then writes an article about it doesn't make it true. Bay is a solid defender, as anyone (like myself) who has watched him since his first season in Pittsburgh and the last two seasons (like you guys) in Boston can attest to.

I certainly don't know the relevant statistics, but I think he plays a pretty good left field. Two good plays in the 5th inning so far. 6-2 f***!

Yeah, I know.

I think they were using UZR/fangraphs and Baseball Prospectus for their stats. :)

Was just curious if there was something I was missing about Bay...I don't always notice players playing 'trends'.

Damn it. I have a feeling that I'm going to be really pissed off before the night is over. It's nearly 2 AM here. I could be sleeping right now.

 

Have another pint and relax. It's just the 5th inning. But I have to say I'm concerned about going to the pen this early. How will effect the rest of the series?

F*** this s***. I'm going to bed. F*** my life.

I was watching Game 5 of last years LCS last night...a nice reminder that it's never over till it's over. Don't give up yet....

I forgot ... it's FRIDAY.

Speaking of smokes...I haven't had one in hours. Plus hubby's home, I must pester. .
