Wild pitch, baby! Cmon

I Like Leyland. He Cares.

Advantage pitcher. .333.

OM God. Bags juiced. Leyland really gets pissed.

That was hittable, Alex.

Unless the infield would have been in.

If we score on the wild pitch; that scores the tying run. It ain't our year! We gonna lose 7-6.

Wouldn't he have scored easily?

I can't imagine the Sox ending this with a walk off. It's anti-Soxish second half style.

Why don't teams just play Juan softball type depth in the outfield. It'd be rare that he burns you with a shot over your head.

Cause if Viciedo pinch hits, then they bring in a righty and he chases crap and whiffs. Though I agree it's time for an all or nothing hitter. We need a home run to win it or go home losers. I'd risk it and go for the bomb.

Wow. Juan shoves it up my bleep.

Juan annoys me. There I said it.

LOL at Juan batting here.

I can't believe how much this thread livened up once the Sox started losing the game.

OK time to pinch hit a power hitter. All or nothin here baby.

Manny doesn't annoy me as much as many of our hitters, except for the sludge he brings to the table s far as his personal life (steroids, cockiness, etc). Even though he has no power, I like the way he bats.

Morel is a god.

I'll say this about Manny. He looks good at the plate, like he has a confident clue. I guess I wouldn't be devastated if we resign him even though I disagree with his me/first attitude, etc.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 02:43 AM) Wells has huge power 1.) Oh I realize that. He's a nice enough player. I just don't like watching him play and wish he was on the Cubs. Don't like him much. 2.) Wells will revolutionize baseball if all his at bats are like that one.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 02:40 AM) but if he clearly lost it, didnt have it anymore, does the pitch count even matter anymore? meaning if he even had 70 pitches and is giving up hit after hit, you have to keep him in there just because he was doing good and has a low pitch count? I still don't know how that hack hitter hit that low inside pitch for a home run. It was so low and inside I can't believe the guy easily kept it fair.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 02:38 AM) Sure, he was in position to go 7 innings based on when he started the inning, but after allowing the 2 run home run and then allowing another base runner, he should have been pulled. Obviously the decision by Ozzie worked out great. I'm hoping next time in a game that matters Danks realizes he can get rocked at any moment and goes into another gear to finish what he started. He should have been able to get out of that inning if he's a special pitcher. 7 innings is not too much to ask; six sucks.

I wonder why Ozzie hasn't tired of watching Juan Pierre like I have. Juan needs to be gawn, but he'll be back along with Teahen. I mean, he's a decent enough slap hitter I guess, but I ain't a Juan fan.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 02:35 AM) You're right, September 19th is a great time to push your players even more against split-squad Tigers lineup. You sound like Chris Rongey, who excuses every Ozzie decision by saying he's trying to raise the confidence level of the player in question. You don't think John Danks could go seven innings tonight? With a 101 pitch count? It's on Danks.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 02:34 AM) Ideally, if the losing streak continues someone will have to held accountable. There’s not a chance that actually happens though. Why? You going to fire KW for not improving the team at the break?
