Vizcaino pitching now.

that little girl Torii Spelling sure can play the outfield. He's amazing to watch out there at times

 

ye but torri spelling is alot hotter.

HORSEs*** call at 2nd base. Ump watching for a tag and not where Rowand was. His hand was clearly on the bag.

 

What is it with these base umpires f***ing up the calls?

 

Goddamnit, get it right.

I missed the replay and thought he was out the first time, you must have gotten a better look

 

 

I think he overslid the base, and then he tagged him. Doesn't really matter anymore.

Rivas never tagged Rowand after he slid past 2nd. Rowand should have been safe, but that's a very tough call for the umpire to have to watch both the tag and the hand on the base. Just my view on the call.

Hermanson in the bullpen!!!!!

No, the only tag he put on him was when he was sliding in. No tag whatsoever after he overslid.

 

Bad call, plain and simple.

 

Not only that, an obvious bad call. He's too busy looking for a tag instead of staying with the play and watching where Rowand's hand is.

Minnesota out in the top of the 7th, Sox lead 3-0 going into bottom of 7th.

I can't believe we're still talking about this.

Dead on right. His hand was on the base when he got tagged, and he was never tagged after the overslide. It was a blown call.

Let's hold 'em guys!

That's all I'm talking about it. I just wanted the play described correctly for those who can't see the game.

Sox out quickly bottom of 7th, into the 8th, 3-0 lead.

Hermanson now on to pitch.

I said it in the chat, but I'll say it here -- Ozzie's delegating Marte to LOOGY roles pisses me off. He's clearly been our best reliever the past three seasons, and it's bulls*** that he's getting so few innings...

I completely agree. Marte should have been in to face Jones in the 8th inning. Hermanson struggles against lefty batters, and Marte's one of the best in baseball against lefties. If you're going to use him as a loogy, at least use him properly.

Rack 'em up!!!!!

Great, great pitch by Hermanson to Ford there. Perfect pitch to get a double play ball.

Crede is a stud defensively i will give him that much. His hitting sure has impressed me too.

He's been money everytime he's pitched.

And into the bottom of the 8th we go, 3-0 Sox.

Ozzie better stick with Dustin. Wait for Shingo to work out his kinks. Let's just close this thing out and move on to Detroit.

Shingo is warming up....which of course worries me. I think Hermanson should be left in, and he can be taken out if he struggles for either Shingo or Marte. Shingo can't be allowed to face Mauer in the 9th.

If anyone gets on for the Twins, considering Mauer has at least 2 homers off Shingo. Bring on Marte, no question.

Minnesota has left 23 men on base tonight!!!!
