Papelbon aced him.

I'm more worried that Beckham would chase a splitter than a high fastball.

That might have grazed him...

Pinch runner for Manny now.

Ball hit him.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) Thornton's bad at holding runners on. Very bad. Who cares? You'd rather have the tying run in scoring position with two out as opposed to on first? You don't care because Buerhle was at 117 pitches and he was getting hit hard (as evidenced by the play before that). Had Vizquel not saved that ball from going into left field, it would be a 5-3 game right now. You don't give a s*** who can hold who on when the pitcher on the mound is out of gas.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 03:22 PM) but then theyll probably bring in paplebon Fine with me.

Damn it Alexei, learn how to take a f***ing walk.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) Buehrle was kept in there to keep Patterson from stealing second. Matt Thonrton's left handed too.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) Teahen Oh wait, yeah, you're right. So Manny should definitely be in there.

If you had to pick a time to pinch run for A.J. this is the time. You have two other catchers on the team right now.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 03:18 PM) Where is Manny to pinch hit? AJ will get an easy out against the lefty. You can't pinch hit Manny for Kotsay because nobody else would be able to play 1B.

Good hitting A.J.

Martinez vs. Buehrle - .872 OPS in 62 PAs Martinez vs. Thornton - .825 OPS in 21 PAs I'd rather have Thornton in there, fresh.

I think Thornton's pretty good against V-Mart too.

So uh, why was Buehrle in there at 118 pitches? I didn't know he was up that high until that pitch to Martinez.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) Really wish Buehrle was out of this game. Just have a bad feeling that he's bound to let Martinez get one up by the monster. Wow, you were right.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) Really wish Buehrle was out of this game. Just have a bad feeling that he's bound to let Martinez get one up by the monster. Thornton has Ortiz if it gets that far.

What a play by Omar!

lol Ozzie, really? He just jogged out there and jogged back.

Huge out by Buehrle.

Not a good start to the inning.

9 outs to get. Come on now bullpen.

The f*** is Carlos doing?

Wow thank god!
