What happened?

 

Hunter missed a double down the line by 3 inches or so.

Nice inning by Dotel

That a boy Dotel!

Lackey gone ? Whoever's in it's time to put the hammer down.

Exactly, we don't want to see K-Rod in, more so because I can't stand his celebrations.

Kalapse, Balta, Santo, etc.....This is one of those times where Thome could be clutch and help the Sox. Facing a righty reliever in a tie game in the 8th.

Arredando is nasty.

Shocker

Haven't been calling that all game and you decide to now. Sure it looked like a strike but it wasn't that way with Figgins.

Shocker

 

Tip your cap to Arredando, that pitch was unhittable.

Hate to sound like Hawk, but I think he got jobbed on that last high hanger.

Agreed, hasn't been a strike all game. He had a great pitch to hit to start that AB, but he was late.

I'd prefer to win the game before him, but I would love to walk off against K-Rod.

Don't want K Rod to get any saves against the Sox . He can break Thiggy's record against other teams plus it means we probably win if he gets no saves

Alright, shut em down, and hope they take Arredando out.

I understand the idea, but with us playing at home, I don't like using Jenks here.

KRod is usually not very good in tie games.

Jenks is in

Why? It isn't like there will ever be a save situation.

Play to win the game. Bring in your best reliever when we need him, lead or tie.

I would have kept Dotel in for another inning, but I have no issues with Jenks in.

With how this game's setting up, I would have saved him from the 10th. However, you're absolutely right about going for the win.

Well, the big thing I noticed is that we brought him in for the bottom 1/3 of their order, not the part of the order that you're scared of. If he faces Tex he's doing so with 2 men on this inning or in his 2nd inning of work, neither of which is ideal.

dangit.

Wow, another freaking hanger.
