8/4 at the Trop

[WhiskeyBreath]

Bard was terrible in that inning. He looked like a scared rookie and he made a ridiculous fielding play. If the ball didn't get stuck in the wall' date=' the run would have scored and the bullpen would have been spared lots of wear and tear and we would have lost less sleep.[/quote']

 

So much truth.

And he was awesome for the 23 innings prior. What's your point?

 

Pedroia choked with the bases loaded.

[Dipre]

I can't wait to hear Francona.

 

If he says he wanted the righty vs righty matchup, can someone please go and f***ing kick him in the nuts?

[TheKilo]

Lots of Armchair coaches in here.

 

Explain

[TedWilliams101]

Please give 1 valid argument why you would pitch to Longoria there. It doesn't even have to be good(because there aren't any), only valid. I don't think one exists.

[suns]

OK you can pitch to longoria but you have to hit him or pitch around him.

Career vs. RHP

 

Zobrist: .238/.324/.435/.759

Longoria: .281/.356/.527/.883

[BigPapiEnFuego]

I've always wondered how we've won 2 championships with Francona as manager.

[Spudboy]

Threesome?

 

Maybe?

Precisely my point.

My point is that Bard is not blameless in this game. He deservedly gets a lot of the blame, and so does Pedroia.

I can agree with that, but NESN has not yet made mention of pitching to Longoria in the 13th.

[Dipre]

Tito needs to die in a fire, then in a last ditch effort to put the flames out, fall in a well and finish off his horrific death by drowning.

[TheKilo]

No chance in hell Watney asks Francona about it.

Carron did. Said something about Zobrist having 19 homers.

I thought Rice said that he would have walked him.

[a700hitter]

Rays continue to own us.

[suns]

This is one of the reasons I hate the trop.

Zobrist lol.

[TheKilo]

Watney is a f***ing joke. ASK HIM WHY HE PITCHED TO LONGORIA

[TedWilliams101]

I've always wondered how we've won 2 championships with Francona as manager.

 

2004 was, well, a miracle. 2007 we had a great team and Tito managed to not f*** it up in the playoffs. But short, it's the players.

[a700hitter]

Watney is a f***ing joke. ASK HIM WHY HE PITCHED TO LONGORIA

She'd piss herself if she even thought about asking a tough question.

[suns]

Goodnight guys. See ya tomorrow after a tough loss tonight.

[TheKilo]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU DIDN'T ASK HIM ABOUT WHY HE PITCHED TO LONGORIA???

[Dipre]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU DIDN'T ASK HIM ABOUT WHY HE PITCHED TO LONGORIA???

 

Of course she didn't.

[WhiskeyBreath]

rofl. It's not like she's a real reporter or anything. She's there to look good and talk about stupid s*** in between innings.

[TedWilliams101]

I f***ing hate the media. I want to see a Belichick type manager in baseball. You know, no BS, strict, smart, no concern for the media, etc. No more of this soft "player manager" ********.

Tito can be a player's manager.

 

He simply needs to stop being a f***ing idiot regarding in-game decisions.

[italstallianion]

This loss was so bad that I'm not even that angry. I'm just depressed. I'm sick and tired of f***** losing to the f***** Rays in close games. Can we ever f***** win one? Seriously, one f***** game. Is it too f***** hard to ask? I guess so.

[TheKilo]

We could really be looking at a 1-5 trip.
