5/18 Orioles at Fenway

[Maxbialystock]

I love that corner and how the Opp team always over runs it.

 

Agree. Mancini looked awful, but it's actually not that easy a play because the fielder is worried about hitting the wall plus maybe the wind blew the ball to the right.

[Sox75]

Now let's talk about what you posted in this thread:

Let's hear again from the advocates who believe that, with men on 1b and 3b with 1 out, the smart play by Manny was to strike out. The rally would still be alive if he had played it smart. And, yes, that was said on a game thread the other night.

 

There were no "advocates"who believe that striking out in that situation is the "Smart" thing to do. What was implied was that striking out would be better than hitting into a double play. And I'd stand by that.

 

 

Again . . .

 

It's SO OBVIOUS, that the simplicity eludes some.

Mooreland wins it!

[Jasonbay44]

Alright, here we go. Bases loaded for the best player in baseball right now. Lets do this Mookie

[SoxHop]

Good stuff Mitch

[Sox75]

3 Run JOB! Sox take the lead ....... ok A Mookie GS works!!!!!!

[mvp 78]

Woof

[jung]

Yikes....Mookie a little anxious on strike 2

[Jasonbay44]

f***, that was the best chance there.

[mvp 78]

Damn

[Sox75]

Mother f....

[jad]

Well, at least Mookie didn't hit into a DP.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Round bat. Round ball. Not easy.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wright's been right tonight.

[StephenCurry30]

wife beater has been pretty solid tonight

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wright's been right tonight.

 

Up until now.

[S5Dewey]

Fine. And I stand by the notion that using that example--that in this case a K would have worked better than what happened, a GIDP--is a good reason for having JBJ play more is absurd.

 

Fine. But if you're going to post part of a conversation that happened yesterday at least post it accurately. To suggest that it was said that it was smart to strike out in that situation is disingenuous at best and dishonest at worst.

[SoxHop]

Interesting how Wright was cruzing until Swihart came in........

 

 

I'm joking....

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't blame Swihart for wanting to be traded. With JBJ, Leon, and Vaz getting more playing time than he is, Swi has a right to be pissed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's a HR in Fenway, er, nevermind.

[Station 13]

Hanley .750 OPS-ish

 

another reason to say #NoTo497

He has a 379 OPS this year. He hasn’t done s*** when given a chance.

You need to start 10 games to consider a chance, not a token start vs a LHP

[mvp 78]

JD is worth everey penny

[mvp 78]

He’s started 4. 6 more then we can move on?

[Station 13]

10 straight, not an odd game here and there.

[jacksonianmarch]

I am wondering when Pom goes back on the DL

[Natick to NC]

He's a better catcher than Vaz bigger target better arm better runner better hitter ....Start Swihart the next two weeks no Vaz and Sandy will fade into oblivion .

[harmony]

I was nervous about having Cobb and Brach in my fantasy lineup

[Station 13]

13 hits, along with Mookie 3XBH and JD 2XHB for 4 runs is terrible.
