8/14 in Arlington for a wild card showdown

[a700hitter]

Tek up after Papi, but they pitched to Papi. Millwood was too smart for that.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Very shaky Reddick...Jacoby makes that imo.

[TedWilliams101]

Ells would have made that catch. Thanks Tito.

[WhiskeyBreath]

More like thanks Reddick. It's not an easy play but you have to make that grab.

[Gosawks]

Jacoby would have caught that.

[WhiskeyBreath]

rofl camera guys

[The_Destroyah]

f*** playing away...

[Cocos Disciples]

f***.

[Gosawks]

Damn it.

[The_Destroyah]

f***...thats 2 catches I would have liked to see made.

[suns]

Damn!

[SoxSport]

Papi hits a dinger, and he's back. Or what? Maybe he has to be reminded to eat his spinach. Any explanation about where Ellsbury is?

[TedWilliams101]

If tito wasn't an idiot, Ells would be playing, he would have made that catch, and it would still be a tie game.

[a700hitter]

Ohhh but its so exciting to watch these kids come up from our farm team and play in the big leagues.

he's on the bench somewhere, "resting"

[The_Destroyah]

so now we need another 2 runs for a win, no one hold your breath for that.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Shut the f*** up about Ellsbury getting a night off. God forbid the kid gets a breather every now and then.

[a700hitter]

he's on the bench somewhere' date=' "resting"[/quote']He needs a nappy nap. His sleep is more important than one game, and there is always next year. We wouldn't want to tire him out . These young kids are our future.

[Dojji]

Heck of a time for Lester to not have it.

[TedWilliams101]

he's on the bench somewhere' date=' "resting"[/quote']

 

He's resting so he will be nice and fresh in September when the team is well out of contention and playing for "pride".

[SoxSport]

well, Papi hit 6th in June. Maybe he gets better pitches hitting down in the order. Has to be a reason why he spiked in June.

[TedWilliams101]

Shut the f*** up about Ellsbury getting a night off. God forbid the kid gets a breather every now and then.

 

I'm fine with him getting a breather, but in a pivital series against their best pitcher when our best hitter is out on a suspension? Find a better time.

[Dojji]

Shut the f*** up about Ellsbury getting a night off. God forbid the kid gets a breather every now and then.

 

Exactly. For pete's sake people, no matter how the season is going people need days off, and for a speedster, the first night in Texas is probably a good time.

It was no biggie last year when we had Coco Crisp to put out there, but all we have is this kid who should be in the minors. I guess Theo is soooo busy making impact SS pickups off the waiver wire that he hasn't looked for an OFer.

Players don't just need rest when it's convenient for them to need rest.

 

If we were playing a game against a weak opponent and Ellsbury took a personal day you'd call him out for resting when we had a chance to pull ahead.

 

We need to be able to trust our reserves. If we can't we don't deserve to be a playoff team anyway.

[The_Destroyah]

KKKKKKKKKK

[suns]

Unfortunately, we don't have OF depth. Rocco is glass and we only have not-ready minor leaguers behind him.

[WhiskeyBreath]

What do you guys think about ruling that Reddick play a non error?

[The_Destroyah]

Ells is back, everyone happy?
