Yeah but I was responding to a post about that situation. Lowell hit the ball on a line, it just found a glove.
-
Not enough reason to. Not with no one on. You lose a weapon you might need later.
-
Not Lowell's fault. Someone scouted him well is all.
-
We're seeing a lot of first-pitch strikes. If they're trying to groove 'em you've got to go after that first pitch. Dumbest Verizon ad ever BTW.
-
Well, he did something. ANother screaming liner right at someone.
-
Not just Japanese. Remember we had our problems with Pedroia and Youkilis as well. ANother reason to be glad for the Dutch. I definitely don't want to give Ortiz ANOTHER excuse to underperform
-
THat didn't really work out that well for the last two teams who tried it. Please don't try to extrapolate this into baseball play.

Baltimore up 1-0 on a Brian Roberts single plating Felix Pie.

Get someone warming.

Poor effort.
-
That one was.
-
How many times are we going to bomb it right at their fielders?
-
Hand to mouth.
-
Nice, Jacoby. Leadoff bunt.
-
Still wondering what happened to the guy who threw 96 in his first few starts as a member of the Red Sox. EDIT: But in Daisuke fashion, he gets the job done.

Reverse lock, guys. DOn't be all THAT shocked.

You can buy some games for ITunes for like 3 bucks at MLB.com. Or at least you used to be able to. http://mlb.mlb.com/downloads/ -
Exactly why does a Rays fan care about the ancient traditions of the game?
-
What a shame... Baseball lost a player, but his family lost a whole lot more than that. Just brings you up short...
-
Yeah, sure. But it's the human element of the pitchers and fielders and hitters. NOT of the UMPIRES. The moment the umpire becomes part of the show he's already failed in his primary job, which is to be part of the background and call the game as fairly as possible..
-
Definitely has. If nothing else it can shame a ref who gets it wrong.

Seriously. BTW plenty of good signs from Lester today even with how the 5th worked out for him. His velocity is strong and he made some good pitches. With a bit better defense behind him he would have gotten through the 6th no problem. He was hitting 95 pretty regularly in the early going and I think he just got tired there towards the end -- if he was in midseason form this game goes very differently, but he needs to rebuild his endurance. If I had to advise Lester it'd be to throw a few more two-seam fastballs and cutters and try to work some more outs by contact. You really don't have to strike everyone out after all. Also definitely encouraged by MDC and Ramram. Those two keep it up and they might be our setup tandem this year. We could do a whole heck of a lot worse.
-
It might have. At least one of those creatively-called strikes was the third strike second out of an inning in which we had multiple runners on base and another killed a two-out rally. Furthermore, hitters require the ability to judge the strike zone to be effective at what they do -- when it's being called unfairly it throws everyone off. That, more than Kazmir's rather average stuff last night, was behind his good numbers.

Thought we should have a thread where we can take our left over angst after facing postgame frustration, an attack of the Ifonlys, or needing to celebrate a decisive Red Sox triumph. I thought we might kick this off by discussing the umpiring of the 4/8 game. Performance of HP ump Davidson was well beyond a reasonable margin for error. While I don't like to ascribe to malice what can be explained by simple incompetence, the consistency with which the Rays pitchers got the wide strike while the Sox pitchers did not stretches the plausibility of incompetence a bit. Also, nice to see Varitek in particular at least making decent contact even if it isn't finding holes. We've had a lot of that tonight. If he can keep that up he'll be rewarded with a good year.
-
Yeah, if our worst problem in the pen is Lopez, then that's a pretty decent pen. Lopez earns his berth on this team, or has over the last 2 years. Wouldn't half mind seeing Jones but his promotion at Javy's expense constitutes a risk we really don't have to take.
