    back door ... grrr ... nasty pitch
  2. sk7326
    The inability to throw strikes scared the crap out of him ... he's trying to head off a crooked number, see if this works out ... Sox need to get at least one here.
  3. sk7326
    The guess is that he did not want to bring a starter into the middle of a sloppy situation - maybe the starter (Moore/Archer) comes in NEXT inning in a cleaner spot.

    Thought his changeup could help against the lefty-slanted lineup we have. He forgot to throw strikes. It's their season - Maddon has to put a stop to self inflicted s*** right away. That said surprised they are going to Wright - unless they want to give Archer/Moore a clean inning to start.
  5. sk7326
    Surprised that Wright is the choice here ... elimination game, absolutely the right call to end Hellickson's night.

    8 pitches, Matt Moore getting the call on the Pen phone?
  7. sk7326
    Classic framing - umps forget that missing the target in the strike zone counts too
  8. sk7326
    patience, patience ... make Hellickson throw him something good ...
  9. sk7326
    A lot of credit to the A's here ... a swing of the bat away

    Oh I don't think so - that made them plucky. Indeed - Moneyball imo has done a tremendous amount for the health of the sport (although yes the media has ALWAYS misinterpreted what Moneyball is all about). I do think it's a s***** road trip though - San Francisco but not really, a horrendous ballpark, a fan base which has been problematic even when they won 3 titles in a row in the old days.

    Interesting cable system - apparently they don't want you watching pro basketball.

    He's always had it (the terrible discipline) ... just last year it was acceptable enough to not damage the good stuff he does. This year has been worse.
  13. sk7326
    Be thankful that we're not facing the Pirates (yet) or the anti-Sox thing would be a lot worse. Combine the "been so long" with "gorgeous park" thing and the Pirates love will be insufferable. Oakland are also plucky underdog sorts, but they play in such a shithole that it is hard for them to be as TV friendly.

    It sucks, but I guess it should not be surprising that Tampa, the little engine that could with the fans who don't appreciate them ... going against the Goliath Sawx makes them a natural protagonist. But still ...
  15. sk7326
    Call was right - I mean you can't reverse that ... the fan reached over, but it did not look CLEARLY like it cost Reddick a catch.
  16. sk7326
    HAWK is stupendously bad ... John Sterling is awful too ... but I know Yankee fans who love him too. Hawk is fairly insulting, that is the line. I mean, even in Boston - Tommy Heinsohn has the pom poms out for the Celtics, but he doesn't flat out not make sense like Hawk does.
  17. sk7326
    Right "non-reversal"
  18. sk7326
    Can't reverse the call on this replay ... the fan reached over, but it does not look like it cost Reddick a catch. Either way, can't reverse call on the field reasonably.
  19. sk7326
    Tremendous AB by Crisp ... this series was fairly lopsided on paper (when you line up postseason strengths) ... shows how these are all coin flips. Come on A's.
  20. sk7326
    TBS guys are shaky. Although a lot better than it was when Chip Caray was the lead. Ron Darling and Cal Ripken are excellent but the rest not so much. Studio guys are good, although it would be better if they focused on Verducci and Pedro. NESN guys spoiled us, and that has even been a dropoff from the Sean and Jerry days of a decade ago. I loved Ned Martin too - although everybody loves their hometown guys. Sean's staying power in the industry across the various sports show what a pro he really was - and he hated the umpires.

    Calculated risk more than anything - if there is a pitcher to take the training wheels off for - he's the right guy. Chance to go for the kill at home - and with a legitimately terrific safety net if it doesn't work. Got them a small edge against a more or less equal team. With the NLCS starting Friday, it STILL lets them use Greinke-Kershaw on full rest for Games 1 and 2, you just flip the order. It takes the chance to pitch Kershaw 3 times in the NLCS off the table, but I suspect that was never a real option.

    If there is a saving grace from the walk off last night was that Koji only threw 5 pitches to lose that game ... no reason he should not be ready for 8th inning duty today, just have to get the game there.
  23. sk7326
    Very smart move by Mattingly too. With 2 travel days, they had Greinke on full rest for Game 5 ... improved their odds and Greinke going in Game 1 is by no means chopped liver.
  24. sk7326
    This isn't 2004 Barry Bonds here. Buchholz should have made a better pitch. The intentional walk would have been defensible certainly - but this is post hoc thinking. Just like bringing in Uehara into the tie game - sometimes the move doesn't work. Buchholz gets that pitch further in and it's a popup. Just have to dust off and move on. Just need to force Hellickson to come to them - one thing is our guys are definitely locked in approach-wise and have been all series.

    Even without the travel day - you blow the wad now, worry about tomorrow later.
