ALCS: Red Sox vs. Indians Discussion Thread
a700hitter replied to yankeessuck013's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I don't think you use Ellsbury for anything other than a pinch runner or late inning defensive replacement. You don't start experimenting in the ALCS. Crisp has been a great fielder this year. Ellsbury certainly is a talented outfieler, but he has not played enough at Fenway to be familiar with all the angles and caroms. It took Crisp a whole year to get to this level of play. I don't mess with it. Ellsbury will get plenty of PT next year. -
Game saving diving catch by Taveras on a blast by Tony Clark

I just don't see how AZ can compete with Col. AZ is a bunch of retreads mixed with a few kids. They have a very weak lineup.

When the second HR went over the wall my father and I just looked at each other and said nothing, but the look we had was an unspoken " WTF was that!"
-
Was the second of those games a Sunday game at Yankee Stadium when David Justice and Paul O'Neil hit homers to win the game after we took the lead against Mo? If so, I was at that game with my Dad who was 80 at the time. We were in the RF grandstand, and those HRs came right towards us. I remeber thinking that they were just flyouts and they kept carrying and carrying. I couldn't believe it. My recollection is that O'neill was pisseed and flipped his bat away thinking he had flown out. Two cheap HRs.

Ortiz and Manny are just a wrecking crew so far in the post season. They are just so good now that it is sick.
-
Gagne k's the side, but it was not the least bit awe inspiring.
-
Throw strikes and they get themselves out.
-
It's the back page story of today's NY Post. Torre made an obscene amount for being a mediocre manager. That had to bother the Boss.
-
Gutierrez swings at ball 4. Thank goodness he did. I can't take much of this Gagne.
-
Timlin with a strong inning. Good to see.
-
I don't know why McCarver is so certain that Wakefield will pitch game 4. It really depends on the situation after game 3. If the Sox are down 2 games to 1, I have no doubt that Beckett will start game 4. If the Sox are up 3-0, Wakefield gets his start. If the Sox are up 2-1, I'm not so sure, but probably Wakefield.
-
Beckett with another big post-season performance. He was in total command once again. He is like the anti-Wang in the post-season.
-
Timlin is warming. I guess that means Beckett will be showering. Good move by Terry. He has to look ahead. We should put a couple of more on the board here. Beckett is a stud, and if he can pitch 3 times in a tough series, it gives you a big advantage.
-
They are bringing up a good point about pulling beckett after a breeze of an 80 pitch outing to give them the option of bringing him back on 3 days rest to pitch game 4 and full rest to pitch game 7. This is the way I would go.
-
I'm wondering what kind of evidence there will be in the report to support the naming of names. If it's just based on the disclosure of witnesses, that would be very unreliable, and I think it would be unfair to tarnish reputations unless they have some solid evidence.
-
What a beat down administered to Sabathia-- 8 Runs. Let's save some for tomorrow night.
-
The FOX Crew trying to put the hex on Beckett by coming out with the 48-2 stat when his team scores 5 or mores runs.
-
I posted a few days back that the TV ratings for the NLCS would be low. I heard this morning that Arizona has not sold out their home games for this series. If their own community has no interest, the rest of the country should be even more disinterested.

Thanks Gom. We will be sure to research your posts and torture you with your own words.

Great Post!!
-
Aren't aces supposed to win big games like Whitey Ford, Ron Guidry, Josh Beckett* and Curt Schilling*? * Still active

I guess Giggling is just one of the many intangibles that he brings to the table. Like I said before. Manny would have been dissected like a lab animal if he had done that.
