QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 04:55 PM) Freddy Garcia=Livan Hernandez Pitch away from contact, high pitch count, lots of walks...84-88 MPH fastball...keep everything on the black...don't get behind in counts and give in with the fastball over the center of the plate. Mix in a steady diet of offspeed junk to keep hitters off balance. Minnesota leading CLE 5-0, who'd a thunk it? Go figure. It's called pitching or smoke and mirrors take your pick.

Q flies to right as he stumbles out of the batters box.

Granderson lines out to PK. Cervelli grounds out to Alexei. Gardner pops to Nix in right. atta boy Freddy !!

Lucy double to right center ,Pierre BB Ramirez grounds to Arod ,misses tag on Lucy going to 3rd. Gets force at 2nd . Yankees whine about Lucy out of baseline. Beckham SF to right. 4-2 Sox . Rios singles up the middle Ramirez to 2nd. Yankees announcers going on and on about Lucy being out of the baseline. Konerko flys to right .

Cano singles to right Texeira scores. Swisher (0-6 lifetime against Garcia ) DP.

Texeira BB. Arod doubles to left Jeter scores Rod breaks 0-19 slump has killed Garcia in his carrer and one of MLB's hottest hitters Robinson Cano up. IBB unintentional BB upcoming ?

Jeter leadoff hit.Nick Johnson K. Jeter now active hits leader in MLB passing Griifey, Jr.

My PTC Paulie which means someone else on the Sox is going to do better than Paulie since I never get PTC right.

Konerko

Ozzie decision to bunt in the 7th inning with 0 outs and men on 1st and 2nd was almost unanimously panned in the game thread due to the fact that Pierre was the next batter. Alexei successfully bunted both runners into scoring position. Pierre promptly popped out but both runners eventually scored on a wild pitch plus wild throw into the dugout by the Ranger catcher. I saw one poster admit it was the right call for anyone but Pierre. It was probably the right call regardless of who was batting. A successful bunt puts 2 men in scoring position with just 1 out and kept us out of the DP which we have hit into many times. Some would say that Ozzie lucked into the 2 runs but as Branch Rickey once said " luck is the residue of design" and clearly the design was better with men at 2nd and 3rd with one out than to risk a DP.

Beckham 3 straight swing and misses on 2 and 4 seamers.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 07:50 PM) Haha, letting Lucy hit here is comical. Who catches if AJ gets hurts then ?
