just sat down to watch the game and I get the pleasure of seeing that fun run-down. haha, that was bad. But we're still in the game, hopefully Mark can settle down and keep the Rays at 3 and hopefully we'll get to their pitcher the second time through...

Looking at that failed run down, it was Uribe's ADD that messed it up. He always swings too soon or takes too many steps...someone has to take the uppers away from him before the game. lay off the columbian coffee Juan!

Just saw the replay, the pile of goo at 2nd is responsible for that f***up. Did he think the runner was smuggling snacks and cakes. Had to chase him down.

 

 

 

What a s***ty line up to have down 3-0.

 

We need Uribe and Hall off this roster. I honestly think Hall will be designated for assignment in a few weeks.

Listening to Hawk and DJ describe that run down pisses me off just as much as it happening........

That wasn't his contract year.

It wasn't? He only got a four year deal?

No, he did everything right. You want to chase the guy back to the lower bag. Also, with Konerko's speed, we're better off with him not involved.

 

you go after a guy hard reguardless...make him commit right away...OC f***ed up bad, but PK has to go at him hard

Heh, Hawk agrees with me.

 

well its obvious your actually in Tampa right now feeding info and thoughts to Hawk

I'm not well versed on the science of rundowns, but shouldn't Uribe have thrown that to OC sooner as well?

 

Yes, but Uribe didnt expect Gomes to turn on the jets like he did it caught him offguard, I think he thought he'd catch him for sure...it all starts with O-Cab throwing the damn thing like a hot potato when he got it from Kong...AWFUL execution and a real killer

Blaming Juan? GMAFB Hawk

 

I laughed at that as well. I'm sure he will bring that play up every inning.

OC has to run at Gomes and make him commit to going back to first.

All of their runs came with 2 out? Geezz

you don't run him to next base in a rundown, you run him back to his original base. That was both Juan's and Cabrera's fault.

It wasn't? He only got a four year deal?

 

Last year was his contract year.

Hawk is an idiot. Cabrera has to get out of the way. Isn't that run down basics? Throw the ball, then get out of the way and then go to the other side.

Them saying Elementary pissed me off in the bottom of the 2nd, but im over it now. They were just redundant saying it over and over. They also didnt show one replay of it until this inning, that was gay

Um, he clearly went there.

You chase the runner towards the lesser base. They work on this in little league.

 

You dont run the guy towards the base he is attempting to steal.

 

 

 

 

Sonnanstine looking stout.

Good news is Ely went 7-1 tonight!

Hawk and DJ should make up their mind (singular). First they say that 3 throws means somebody made a mistake. So even if Juan makes the throw earlier, someone screwed up. Then they say if Juan makes the throw earlier, there would have been no problem.

On a side note...anyone else see Gomes and how much of an ass he looked like? Dear god crossing home and congratulating Hinske on his knock one wouldve thought they were on their way to their first ever play off appearance....lord act like you've done it before, though they're the rays I guess what can one expect?

This is a very weak lineup for the Sox tonight. Hopefully we get back to the regular core tomorrow.

Gomes is a great guy. Their crowd's into it tonight, so kudos to him.

As is my point, O-Cab threw it as soon as Kong gave it up...he shouldve ran him back poor fundamentals
