9/3 VS White Sox

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I'll take the double play.

[Station 13]

Clay needs to get the ball down....

[Spudboy]

Thankfully Buch got out of the inning without too much damage.

[Spudboy]

Two good things from Lowell today so far. A great snag of a poor high throw from Lowrie on the DP (that had to hurt) and now a long shot to dead center for a double.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Good s*** Lowell.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Damn, Hall struck out.

[Station 13]

fail

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I wish we would have came out of that inning with at least 1 run.

Where have you been?

[Yaz Sideburn]

Where have you been?

 

i was on a hiking trip in the presidential range of new hampshire

[Spudboy]

That was interesting!

 

Nice throw home.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Trying to steal home? Nopeeee sowwyyy

[Yaz Sideburn]

i'm no baseball expert, but it looked like lowrie could have just tagged out the runner in front of him rather than throwing home

[Spudboy]

Buch is flirting with disaster so far.

Hmmmm.... if he had to chase the runner or got into a run down, the run may have scored.

 

I'm no expert either.

It was actually a heads up play by Lowrie.

[Station 13]

That was pretty stupid to throw to 2nd. Most of the time the runner score.

i understand the danger of missing the tag but it seems more dangerous to make a throw across the diamond considering how awesome our team is at throwing and catching

[Station 13]

Another pathetic inning. This offense has been pretty much famine.

That's what I thought. It was a good play.

[Yaz Sideburn]

doesn't look like buchholz has it today. he usually doesn't have to pitch out of trouble this often

Yeah<_>

[Yaz Sideburn]

manny still has an interpreter? i hope he also filters

Double steals are designed to get the runner on third to score. Many times the runner from first will drop to the ground. By the time the fielder reaches down to apply the tag, the runner from third has scored. Lowrie made the right play. He didn't even give the runner at second a thought.

i understand all of that but in my opinion it looked like lowrie had the runner. the runner did fall down and on the replay it looked like lowrie could have tagged him easily

That was a grandstand play.

 

He's a piece of s***.

[Yaz Sideburn]

and there's buchholz' luck evening out. the run scores on a bloop

 

buchholz up over 80 pitches in the 4th inning of a doubleheader. woohoo!

[a700hitter]

By the time the fielder looks for the runner from second, it is too late. They are trained to cut off the run at the plate.

i understand they're trained to cut off the run at the plate and that he did what he was supposed to do. i still think he could have easily reached down and tagged the runner before the run scored if he had time to throw across the diamond before the run scored
