8/16 Vs. Da Rayz game 2

[AtWork]

Bedard's defense is letting him down again.

[Station 13]

f*** Lowrie.

[NativeBostonian]

That would have been an out if the ball wasn't dropped.

[BeepBeepYoureDumb]

If he makes that play we're all having a party, but no matter what home was a dumb place to throw the ball in that situation. If they score 2-out runs in this inning, it's basically all on Lowrie.

[BeepBeepYoureDumb]

That would have been an out if the ball wasn't dropped.

 

still had to corral the ball and make the tag. idk. the problem wasn't the drop.

[SoxFanForsyth]

And that should be the last out. f***ing Lowrie. It's the 2nd inning get the damn out you freaking bum.

[BeepBeepYoureDumb]

Silver lining: Bedard looks great.

[NativeBostonian]

Watch, just like the last game Bedard pitched, the offence won't back him.

[AtWork]

It was the right play to throw home, he had plenty of time. It was a bad play because he bounced the ball.

No it wasn't. In the 7th inning, maybe. In the second inning you concede the run and take the out. It wasn't the right play.

[ORS]

5 two-strike fouls, JFC, make your out already you pile of suck.

[NativeBostonian]

47th pitch

[redsoxbeatz]

6 outs, 45 pitches! damn...

[AtWork]

I was wondering when Bedard was going to break out that change against righties. Nice pitch.

K,K

[SoxFanForsyth]

So, since the first run that scored was on an error by Lowrie, and the 2nd run that scored was on what should have been the 3rd out, were either of those ER?

[AtWork]

No it wasn't. In the 7th inning' date=' maybe. In the second inning you concede the run and take the out. It wasn't the right play.[/quote']

 

It was absolutely the right play to throw home. There was no double play in order and he had plenty of time.

[ORS]

11 extra pitches thanks to Lowrie. Maybe even more, as the situation may have dictated how he pitched to Joyce, who also took the count deep.

[iortiz]

Lowrie's defense is pathetic!

[AtWork]

So' date=' since the first run that scored was on an error by Lowrie, and the 2nd run that scored was on what should have been the 3rd out, were either of those ER?[/quote']

 

No, they were both unearned runs.

Both earned. It was a FC that didn't record an out at home. The error was for the extra base the hitter got when he advanced to 2B.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, the scorer ruled them unearned. Not sure if I agree with that on principle, but I'm Gameday'ing, so I didn't see the play.

[BeepBeepYoureDumb]

It was absolutely the right play to throw home. There was no double play in order and he had plenty of time.

 

I disagree.:dunno: Not trying to pile on Lowrie either, but at this stage of the game 1 run doesn't mean a whole lot. The risk of extra pitches and more runs is why you take the out at first and get the next guy. I don't know if there is a right or wrong play there, but I'm a guy who values his 27 outs and values taking them from the other guy.

 

Wow, Sox really worked some counts that inning, huh? We're playing some frustrating ball lately.

That's what I thought. And AtWork - No way that was the right play after going to your left and having to spin around and make the throw home. Get the out at first, the runner from 2nd doesn't advance to 3rd because ball is on the left side, and you have 2 outs, man on 2nd. In the 2nd inning, a 1-0 deficit is nothing. Get the out.

[NativeBostonian]

I think the first run that scored wasn't earned. It was an error.

@SoxFanForsyth The official scorer altered the decision, ruled that runner would have been out at plate but for the error.

 

So apparently they are unearned runs after all.

Agree to disagree then. At any stage in the game when it's between an easy throw to home that prevents a run or an easy throw to first, I think you throw home. Besides, this guy held us scoreless through 8 innings last time we faced him.

 

The fact the the official scorer ruled the runner would have been out at home if the play was made just enforces that it was an easy play.

[NativeBostonian]

That's not what the offence needed to do after Bedard throw so many pitches.

[Station 13]

This game is maddening to watch. Bad plays, lowrie, corpse of Tek, mcDonald, Crawturd.

[BeepBeepYoureDumb]

who's psyched for Tek and McDonald this inning? I know I am

[AtWork]

Varitek?

 

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
