    Because the Red Sox were lucky enough to have Soriano run into an out - that life turned out as it should have? I am amazed you are arguing to use inferior pitchers for a more important situation. Uehara did the setup job earlier this year quite well - there is no magic in the 9th and the score - just baseball. Farrell has some weird habits at times - treating Uehara like he is good at his job is not one of them.

    Feel on splitter off with Overbay ...
  3. sk7326
    It is not a bad idea - you have to be ready to swing or do something ... he is around the plate so much.

    And Tazawa works harder to get hitters out than Uehara - this is not really a relevant comparison. I worry about Uehara's durability too - but it's not a back-to-back situation and Uehara barely broke a sweat the last time out. This is a moot point now in this game ... but the games are more important now right? Nothing wrong with treating them like they are when you have an opportunity (12 pitches in 3 days is an opportunity).

    Great break for Victorino - he probably swung at that - way to take advantage.
  6. sk7326
    Of course you can - he's the 9th inning guy - it's the 9th inning. This is what the Yankees have done with Rivera throughout history. It becomes an issue in the 10th or 11th ... not like Koji is not pitch efficient. It's like that game in San Francisco where Farrell let Uehara on the vine for some random flotsam. This is a guy coming off of a day off who threw 12 pitches the night before. He hasn't been overworked. At that point I don't want to lose the game in regulation because I wanted to wait for an A+ situation to use my best guy (as opposed to an A- one).

    Should have been picked off twice - lucked out once.

    Nava looked bad, but that was on Breslow - any sort of decent throw gets him. Nava was handcuffed enough that even if he caught it not enough time to make the throw. Baserunning taketh away though.
  9. sk7326
    Breslow going a 2nd inning is ok here - although Koji is not a delicate flower here or a faberge egg. Funny what a radical thought putting Koji in was. And yes, Koji getting loose here is a good idea ... no need to dick around if we need a big out. Breslow can make this a lot simpler with Granderson tho.

    Don't want to lose this game without your best pen guy having a say in the outcome. Took some stones to snatch this game from defeat, would like to give it the best whirl here. (and to get a gratuitous Dave Roberts highlight on the MLB.TV feed, which is never a bad thing)
  11. sk7326
    Koji all the way - had the day's rest - did not have to burn him in the 8th. Meat of the order coming up.
  12. sk7326
    Berry should find a position on the postseason roster - at least take one of the injury replacement slots we have
  13. sk7326
    There we go!
  14. sk7326
    Nap just missed that ... at least game is still alive
  15. sk7326
    Taz left some hangers clearly ... some regression due from the bullpen last week or so I guess.
  16. sk7326
    hung a splitter ... oh well, time to try to win this a second time
  17. sk7326
    sigh ...
  18. sk7326
    Oh the numbers don't matter - who knows what he was working on, and whether he had budgets on the types of pitches they wanted him to throw. Not like he was game planning the hitters he was facing - or sitting with the scouting reports or whatever. I mean you can have that opinion - but I wouldn't base it on AAA rehab results or scouting the stat line.
  19. sk7326
    Weirdly wasn't leaning badly, wasn't a big lead - looked like he slipped a bit getting back. Weird for him to get picked off without actually getting caught leaning.
  20. sk7326
    Buchholz 3.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 5 Ks ... for what its worth (not much) ... the strikeouts are a plus - see what the comments are afterwards. Health and progress only things that matter. 72 pitches, 51 strikes ... It's progress.
  21. sk7326
    The BABIP will fall - but the walk rate is very encouraging ... he's not going to be Youk, but he is not hopelessly flailing away either. Even if he falls back to your expected BABIP - this is a guy we can live with as a 3B.
  22. sk7326
    Overall, I think - the 1 9 8 4 are pretty solid locks. The standard still held for Fisk and Rice, but Rice is probably a step down in the timber of the numbers (Boggs for instance is a better player). The question is what standard do you want to hold for future Red Sox - if it's "better than Rice", Ortiz has a shot at that ... if it is "best of the best" or whatever, that might be a higher burden.
  23. sk7326
    Well, not retiring Clemens until the Hall figures out what to do with him is a defensible stance - after all the Giants have not retired Barry's numbers despite essentially similar cases. (crazy amount of plausible evidence, but nothing that can stick like Manny's positive test did)
  24. sk7326
    Definitely a little PR in there - although clearly a worthy HoF'er who spend half his career with Boston. At least as worthy a HoF'er as Rice.
  25. sk7326
    Well the premise is that he is ready to go for October - if he isn't, this is all moot. His pitching lines in the rehab starts are neither here nor there. Who knows what he was working on or what the plan was (pitches to throw, not throw).
