    Oh yes! It's YOTN's "Who wants to hit a grand slam today?" merry-go-round again!
  2. Beaneater
    That is comedy gold.

    JBJ now officially up to .700 OPS. Pretty hot considering how he started.

    This was the game that got postponed with the Sox up 5-0, right? I guess that score was just meant to be.

    So, uh, Boone is not supposed to use his closer, who has blown one save all year and hasn't pitched in 5 days, to start the 9th inning in a save situation against their division rivals? When and how is he supposed to use him, then? Or am I missing something? I'm interested to see what Francesca's reasoning is here. Maybe he's just trying to say that once Chapman has demonstrated he can't find the zone in a given outing, he should be out of the game?

    Yankees: "We have assembled perhaps the greatest bullpen of all time." Red Sox: "Yeah, about that..."

    More like RIP Chance Adams, amirite? (groan...)

    6 run lead with Sale on the mound. Nothing's given in baseball, but this feels pretty comfortable.

    A couple of manly RBI groundouts there. I'll take it!

    Good thing we don't have Mientkiewicz on the roster any more. That would be a tough rhyme.

    Recently Bellhorn04 gave some pitching advice to Porcello in the form of a ditty: Nice work! With my tongue in cheek, I asked him to do one for Pomeranz, too. Well, since it's Pom's turn today, I'll provide the poetical advice: I bear no animosity But I see low velocity So if that knuckle curve won't dance You're gonna get shelled, Pomeranz
  12. Beaneater
    Nice! Now do one for Pomeranz!

    Indeed. He's currently leading the majors in hard-hit percentage and #2 in BABIP, 'cause that's what happens when you barrel it up just about every freaking time. Glad he's on our team.

    I'm pretty sure we all predicted a 4-pitch 3-out save from Joe Kelly tonight...

    Let's borrow them from the Orioles. They've got a few extra.

    Holy cow, Baltimore is up two touchdowns and a field goal on TB.
  17. Beaneater
    Mookie is adequate.

    Those have the potential of being monstrous line-ups. Let's go!

    It is a sucky position. There's no right answer as far as as I can tell, or to put it more precisely, there's no one person to blame. The umpire sucked. Also, JBJ watched four strikes go by with the bases loaded. And Pedroia took a third strike which was objectively off the plate, but not by much, and which was nicely framed by the catcher. With the bases loaded. In an elimination game. Aaaaaagh!

    Only two bad strikes, according to Pitch F/X -- one each to JBJ and Pedroia. In fact, JBJ stood and watched four pitches go by in the strike zone, and should have been out without even seeing a fifth pitch. That being said, the strike three call was brutal. Pedroia got jobbed, plain and simple. However, I agree with those posters who talked about protecting the plate. In that situation, you can not strike out. Once you've got the two strikes on you, you've got to be thinking about fouling off the tough ones, dumping one the other way, just plain making something happen. Not hoping that the umpire will magically stop calling strikes on pitches off the plate.
  23. Beaneater
    Poor.
  24. Beaneater
    No kidding. They overthought the pitching. You have an 8th inning guy and a closer. Use them. Oh, well. Good season, and better postseason than last year. And I suppose it's not technically over yet. Maybe a little JBJ-bomb? Stranger things have happened.
  25. Beaneater
    Should have been Reed in the 8th, Kimbrel in the 9th. Sometimes you just go with the old standby.
