Don't you f***ing dare! Don't do anything that might ruin your mojo now!!
-
300!!
-
What a nice play by Marrero. Can we let our pitcher hit, put Marerro at 3B & let Devers DH for him? LOL
-
I can see why Sale has almost 300 K's. That first pitch he likes to throw, down and inside to a RH hitter, is almost untouchable.
-
Who is that guy, and how did he get Hanley's uniform??
-
So Sale got hit "in the right upper somewhere". LOL
-
I'd rather see the Sox put up a couple of more in the 5th and let Sale get some rest.
-
I thought his first pitch, outside and waist high - was the pitch he usually serves to right field.
-
Please don't say things like that. It makes me shudder and my blood run cold.
-
This. A hitter isn't going to get many pitches in an AB that he can handle. When he gets one he should hit it.
-
As I said in last night's GT, this has to be frustrating for them. They've won 8 of 10 and gained one game while watching the Sox come from behind over and over. They've got to be asking themselves. "Don't those guys EVER lose??" :-)) The Sox still have that nice little three game cushion and a little leeway. The Yankees don't. The fat lady ain't singing yet but she's in the building!

Wait a minute here!! :-) I believe that if you go back over the game threads you'll find positive comments from me regarding both JBJ's catch and Beni's throw. I know that's probably because I like defense more than offense - and probably more than most posters here - and that's ok. From a fan's perspective I'd rather see a catch like JBJ's and/or a throw like Beni's than any HR. IMO playing defense requires more skills than hitting a baseball a long way. That's why a lot of ex-position players are now DH's. They don't have the skills to play defense any more. We're just fortunate that all three of our starting OF'ers can do both.
-
Everything is relative. Please don't tell me that a hitter who only gets on base 1/3 of the time is a good hitter. He's not. By any reasonable criteria no player in MLB is or has been a "good hitter" just because he's successful 1/3 of the time. A .300 hitter isn't a good hitter unless you compare him to a .250 hitter. Then he looks pretty good. And yet these are the "moving goalpost" standards that the stat people hold the players up to. Some players seem to have developed a reputation among the professionals who write about and broadcast games and the people who actually play the games that they're a "clutch hitter". That's good enough for me!

I guess I'm just one to cut to the core. In my mind Devers put the game in doubt with the bad throw. If he makes that throw the game is over, the Sox win, and nothing that happened afterward would have happened. End of story. Devers' errant throw could have cost them the win. The same with the O's. The wild pitch may have cost the O's the win. If he doesn't make that wild pitch we don't know what else might have happened but it's very possible that the WP cost the O's the win. I just don't understand why people have to obfuscate the facts with so many tangental things. It is what it is and there's nothing wrong with establishing blame, at least at the major league level. In fact, the threat of blame can be an huge motivator.
-
Right. He got bailed out, but that's a different topic. The debate here has been over whether one play can cause a team to lose. In that situation Devers' throw could have caused the team to lose had the next batter, say, hit a home run and the Sox not scored. Wouldn't you also say that the wild pitch caused the O's to lose that game?
-
Semantics. Let me put it a different way. One bad play can keep a team from winning.
-
As I said earlier today, whatever he is he's the best we've got for 3B, scary as that may be.
-
That's the perfect argument. You're trying to make the case that can't = doesn't. That's the weak argument, and obviously wrong.
-
Really? If Jones had scored the game would have been over. It's the 11th in Baltimore.
-
"Can't" doesn't equal "doesn't". The fact that I was on the road today and didn't get killed in an accident doesn't mean that it couldn't have happened.
-
If that run had scored the error would have cost the team the game. So it can happen.
-
Watching the replay now... would anyone like to deny that if if weren't for the 'no collision' rule at HP Machado would have absolutely leveled Vazquez? In spite of the fact that he was clearly going to be out?
-
Pitching and defense again. JBJ robs Davis of a HR, JBJ throws a runner out at the plate, and the pitching staff gives up zero runs. Would someone please consider Devers' throwing error in the 11th and try to convince me (again) that one bad play can't cost a team a game?
-
The Red Sox continue to rip the Yankees' hearts out, a little bit at a time.
-
I hate these extra innings games against Baltimore. They way they hit HR's I keep thinking that it's just a matter of time before they run into one.
