And the hitters he has to face in that inning aren't exactly A-Rod, Pujols and Hanley, shall we say.
-
4 to go

Juan Uribe just ended the perfect game bid with an error.
-
Just cleared Adrian Gonzalez for the last time he'd have to were he to maintain the perfecto.

PEDROIA COMES THROUGH!!!!!

Nice throw by Baldelli.

Ellsbury was past Olivo by the time he made the tag. Not close.
-
Lester's angry.

Ump blew it, Ellsbury called him on it, Ellsbury gone.

You guys are really asking for it, you know that?

Exactly, 700. Glad you're beginning to see the sense of it.

In order for switch-hitting to be useful, Pena has to actually hit. It's not a useful attribute all by itself. Ramiro Pena is a living stereotype, and every team in the league has a guy just like him. Some even have speed or some on base ability, but most, like Pena, do not. Ramiro Pena is exactly the same kind of middling quality utility man with a great glove and no bat that you see on benches leaguewide. Most of them wind up as journeymen trying to steal big league playing time wherever they can find it from some team that has a hole at short. Some, like Yuniesky Betancourt, wind up starting and getting signed to ridiculous contracts because a team has a lack of options. Whether they get lucky enough to strike it rich with some desparate team or not, guys like Pena are a dime a dozen and are hardly anything the league hasn't seen before.

Ramiro Pena maybe, maybe has some minimal trade value. Maybe. He's probably got more value than a guy like Green if only beause he's younger. But every team in this league has a Ramiro Pena in their system (ours is Argenis Diaz FTR) so he's not a player any other team is going to surrender value for. There are organizational guys who will never sniff the majors who have more value in trade than Ramiro Pena.

I think he could. As an RHH with a bit of talent, he could at least be the backup when Anderson is our 1B.
-
And yet here he is, and there Anderson is still in Portland.
-
And neither is Bates. Just in case you haven't noticed, he was in Pawtucket while Anderson is in Portland. Personally I'd rather be seeing what Jeff Natale can do, as he's older, his window is closing, he's more obviously bench bait and he's much more polished than Bates, but there's nothing wrong with taking a flier on Bates.

How old was Youkilis? Yeah, I know, I know, Bates

I actually agree, i just think that there was no way we were winning that game anyway. Our starter had gone 4 and a third innings, we had to burn the bullpen to get through 9 innings, once we had to go to extra frames there was no chance IMHO. Our only chance was to score in the top of the 10th and we went down 1-2-3. I'm just not convinced preserving Masterson really makes a difference. And WITHOUT benefit of hindsight, there's no way to know that we'd go so meekly in the top of the 10th, or even that Carlos would come up to hit in the bottom of the 9th with a runner on. If you knew those things, it's a no brainer to bring in Papelbon, but without that part, we lost that game more to baseball's version of the fog of war than to some form of blunder on Tito's part. No manager's moves are going to universally stand up to the benefit of hindsight. That's not a fair standard to use.
