7/3 vs. Mariners

[Javier Lopez]

JD drew is gonna walk or K

[The_Destroyah]

but what about Raul Ibanez or Zach Greinke? they have been big stories this year

[Spudboy]

I don't really think 2 innings of bullpen is too much to ask after an off-day.

 

I'm on the fence here. But Tito's strategy will now allow flexibility in this game as extra innings loom.

[Cocos Disciples]

Story of the year in baseball. New story.

 

2008: Josh Hamilton

2009: Nick Green

 

He's been a serviceable shortstop, but let's not go overboard, he has a 86 OPS+. If he was in Kansas City nobody would give a s***.

[Javier Lopez]

papelbon already?

[Spudboy]

I don't get this and never have. Why go to your closer when it's tied in the 10th. Why not use him when you take the lead?

[Cocos Disciples]

papelbon already?

 

Well, there won't be a save situation.

 

"Danny Graves was a great closer"-Sean Casey. Nice.

Were playing at home... we walkoff if we take a lead...

[Spudboy]

Oops.

[Spudboy]

So who starts the 11th?

[Looch Ness Monster]

So who starts the 11th?

 

RR. I figure he can go an inning or two.

[Cocos Disciples]

Yay, RR is going to lose it.

[TedWilliams101]

Come on Ramon, lets not blow this. What the heck has been wrong with him lately?

[Dojji]

See if Farrell can work his magic.

[jacksonianmarch]

regression to the mean

[Dojji]

Suicide squeeze is a real possibility here.

[Dojji]

Game

[Cocos Disciples]

regression to the mean

 

Or a bad game. Before today he hadn't allowed a run since 6/12.

[TedWilliams101]

This sucks. Should have just gone quietly than waste my Friday night with extra innings.

[Dojji]

only 1 out.

[Cocos Disciples]

lol, Rob Johnson.

[jacksonianmarch]

0-2 split the plate. That was a runnable offense. If we did that when I pitched, we were put on a treadmill after the game for 60 minutes

[Dojji]

This sucks. Should have just gone quietly than waste my Friday night with extra innings.

 

You know who their closer is right? We've still got a chance here if Ramon allows no further damage.

[Cocos Disciples]

Ellsbury-Green-Kottaras to face Aardsma. Joy.

[a700hitter]

Two terrible two strike pitches by RR. Just terrible.

[Spudboy]

I'd hit Tek for Kottaras.

[Cocos Disciples]

Mark Lowe, not Aardsma.

[Cocos Disciples]

Great AB here.

[Dojji]

Bad result, good approach by Ellsbury.

[Dojji]

Called it.

 

Wish ellsbury had gotten himself on base. O well. At least he got the game to Drew.
