8/11 at Yankees

[Youk Of The Nation]

Hey, a baserunning mistake. Haven't seen one of those in a while. Oh wait, no, what's the opposite of "in a while"? Right, all the f***ing time.

Victory!!!

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[d-money]

You cannot make this up. Wow!!!!

[d-money]

I have never seen a big league team make some many mistakes like it's little league and that falls on the f***ing manager! The discipline on this team's pathetic!

[a700hitter]

But fundamentals don't matter amirite?

Not the coaching staffs fault. These guys should know the fundamentals long before they get to the major leagues....BUT THE COACHING STAFF NEEDS TO KEEP REMINDING AND REINFORCING THE FUNDAMENTALS. That is what they are there to do.

Victory!!!

 

Is what a Yankee fan says when they can finally get an erection.......

[iortiz]

I thought we were going to win... whata drama.

[Maxbialystock]

Of course he is. Why not take out the guy whose had the best AB's tonight?

 

Moreland's better defensively, the Sox were leading 3-0 when he went in (the 7th inning), and the bullpen has been lights out over the last six games and most of the season.

 

If Nunez is safe at 3b, Moreland theoretically drives in the tying runs with a sac fly.

[Jasonbay44]

I don't get how you even defend these stupid base running mistakes anymore. Its every game.

[Station 13]

Nunez has no business tagging up with a pitcher who is on the ropes.

[bosoxmal]

Where the hell did this Reed come from---and why?

[BstHcpr]

Nunez saw Moreland and Young on deck and knew he had to get to 3rd.

1B defense late in a game at Yankee stadium is not a good enough reason to take out one of our best hitters. Its Yankee stadium, pop ups leave the yard.

 

And Nunez wasn't safe and it was idiotic for him to attempt to move up there on a play RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.... It wasn't like bad luck happened to Nunez, it was dumb decision.

I can. the runner had a better chance of scoring from third than he did from second. Throw was perfect, had to be; else he comes in on the fly ball.

[a700hitter]

The Yankees wiped the stupid smiles off of our faces tonight. We were laughing and smiling through this game like we had a 9-0 lead. This group need to get tough, get serious and play smart.

[Jasonbay44]

I can. Betts had better chance of scoring from thirs than he did from second. Throw was perfect, had to be; else he comes in on the fly ball.

 

1. It was Nunez, not Betts.

2. It was right in front of him, and if one of the fastest runners on team is thrown out pretty easily, it tells you it was pretty stupid decision.

3. You cant risk that in that situation, its not smart baseball.

Chapman was imploding. All our lineup needed to do was to let him self destruct, and we threw him a lifeline. Just idiocy.

[Maxbialystock]

Sorry, but I disagree. The sac fly made one out. If Nunez stays on second the next two batters are Young and Bogaerts who are both hitless in the game and against a very good closer. Were you not aware that no Sox player got a hit off Chapman? An almost perfect throw barely beat Nunez who, by the way, is a very experienced baserunner. Had he been safe, all Moreland had to do was get another fly ball--which he in fact did--to tie the game. I think his attempt was reasonable and absolutely not the result of weak fundamentals. Weak fundamentals is when JBJ with one out goes all the way to 3b on a fly to left that is deep, but easily caught.

[Station 13]

The 2nd or third inning they loaded the bases and fail to score. They can't deliver a knock out punch. The hitting left a lot to be desires.

[Maxbialystock]

Perhaps. But Chapman did throw strikes to Moreland. I think the odds are equally good that with one man out and runners on 1st and 2d and so-so Sox batters coming up (hitless Young, hitless Bogaerts, and lefty bat Devers), Chapman would have easily settled down and gotten two more outs.

"Farrell said the outs on the bases are glaring, but it's a means to an end and they'd rather put pressure on opposing defenses."

Recently, in answering a question about the idiotic base running, Brain Dead said that "this game is the best teacher." No, the coaches are supposed to do the teaching so that the players don't have to learn from embarrassing mistakes.

The relievers have been good but it is hard to win in cheatie stadium.

i disagree. We took Chapman off the hook. Also, we should have had Hanley on deck. There was no reason to take his bat out of the lineup in a close game on the road in a game where Hanley was pounding the ball and the opposing closer is left handed.
