4/12 SOX @ Tigers 1:10 PM
jung replied to SPLENDIDSPLINTER's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Maybe not. RF is the short field in Comerica. Arroyo's speed in the OF grass has not been impressive. Running in the OF is not running in the IF or even running the bases. JD can't run in the OF grass either. JBJ gets good jumps (best in baseball) and he can run in the OF grass. Verdugo can and Hernandez can as well. -

Worth pointing out since DOOM springs eternal for any true Red Sox fan that 1-161 is still in play as of game time today. -
Another ESPN "innovation"

I am so sick of seeing pitchers just groove pitches right down main st or right into hitters power stroke and hitters with their shoulders flying open just wailing away at them as the crowd oohs and ahs as if they guys are the greatest ballplayers ever. They are't. There are very few pitchers that can actually pitch in MLB any longer, even for the two teams in the WS. Hence the batters can just tee off all night long. Actually the Astros have more disciplined hitters than the Braves have if only just barely. However without their one stud starter, the Astros have run out of gas from the pitchers mound. No matter....I have these two teams except for Freddy Freeman. You can have the rest.
-
If you pitch at all well, its easy to get the contemporary MLB hitter out. All they really do is hit mistakes. Don't be wild in the zone and you will get them out. Be wild in the zone and they will kill you, just like we killed the Rays pitchers. Frankly most hits are on mistake pitches. However it is now ridiculous. Pitchers under pressure leave buckets of pitches right over the heart of the plate and ML hitters do what they will do with pitches like that.
-
Agreed. If the Rays had pitched at all, we would not even be here. The Astros pitched....the Rays didn't. The end.
-
I really don't post much during these big games. Every pitch could be significant and I prefer not to miss anything. Great win last night. Could close out the Rays tonight. Not much more to say.
-
So far nobody has pitched worth crap except for Houck. The rest have not just been bad but TERRIBLE. If I were Wisler I would be asking myself why everything I throw lands right smack in the middle of the plate.
-
If you are always and I do mean always in the middle of the plate where Wisler is tonight, I don't care how much you change speeds you don't stand a chance even in the regular season...never mind the post season. His pitches are always landing in "hit me" land.
-
Lots and lots of mistake pitches from all but one pitcher tonight so far. Fortunately, he is wearing a Red Sox uni.
-
Baz still not really making pitches. Wonder how long he is for this game. Cash has got to be getting itchy. Whoops...Cash is scratching that itch right now.
-
What must be galling for both the Yankmees and the Sox is that you could put together something like 5 compete Rays squads for what the Yankmees or Sox alone are paid. But yes, I said that the Rays were better earlier this season and last night for that matter. Not sure those comments are much appreciated here. Does not make them less true. The money to buy your way out of problems often becomes the self fulfilling prophecy of "this is how we roll". I actually don't have issue with the feast or famine 21st century Sox with exception of famine meaning last place. Certainly something to be said for the way the Rays do it.
-
Now we are in trouble. That was a settling inning for Baz and the Rays can play this game of double barreled action in the pen from the start of the game on. I do not believe we can.
-
Well its not like Baz is fooin' anybody yet. The announce team has it right. Trying to lay a meatball in to get ahead in the count does not work in the post season.
-
Tough inning for the Sox to take. "There is your 2 and 3 more".
-
Geezus....not the time to see Zunino.
-
The RHers are just chewing Sales up tonight. Apparently no confidence in the Change UP.
-
The Rays RH hitters so far are not biting at Sales stuff. The LH hitters look like they will be meat.
-
The Rays are a better team than we are this year. It was obvious earlier in the year and its obvious now. How they manage to field a team of younger players that are as competent as they are on the diamond is beyond me. But their vitality and health is obvious but the usual lack of competence is not. Meanwhile we have guys broken on the sidelines or playing with injury or recovering from injury that are really good ballplayers that suffer the usual physical maladies of the 162. We are older as a team but not more competent for it, just more frail for it. Where the Rays may falter is the same place they faltered last time they were in position to go all the way. Will the innings that have piled up on their pen catch up to them late in a serious WS run?
-
If you roll back to Rafi's very first AB tonight, after the swing and miss for strike 3, he crouched at home plate, wincing as he grabbed his bottom hand and wrist. If it was not hurt before that swing it was hurt then.
-
Fenway's famed wall is turning Yankee HR's into Doubles and Singles. What a bad base running mistake by the Yanks. Still Cora's move should have totally failed.
-
Completely agree. Its mot like Brazier can't just cough up a dinger at a moments notice.
-
ARod is an IDIOT. "Perfect take by Gardner, a professional take....make him throw you two strikes". Really ARod...does Nate seem to have trouble throwing strikes tonight? Half way through....Sox have played an almost perfect game so far. Hit every one of Cole's mistakes...a rarity for any team against any pitcher and Nate has been super so far.
-
Another one of these goofy, mindless innings and Cole will be out of this game. Its one game and out.
