He just shouldn't be playing tonight, especially facing two righties in the remainder of the series. By bunting AJP, Ozzie made it so easy for Tampa to not face Rios and go after the lefty.

 

That's quite a stretch to blame Ozzie for the Rays intentionally walking Rios. You (and others) probably would have b****ed if ozzie let AJ hit, and then he GIDP. I have no problem with Ozzie having AJ bunt. It's not like AJ was likely to have a productive AB anyway.

Kapler just fouled one, wow.

If I never see a bunt again, I will be happy. If you don't think someone can have a productive at bat against a pitcher, either don't play him or don't bat him 6th.

Forceout at 2nd, Gordon with not so good of a throw.

 

Actually Paulie should have picked it.

Should have been a DP, pretty weak throw and bad scoop attempt. You have to turn those against a team like Tampa.

Turned off the game and just following Gameday now and was gonna ask why they did not turn the 2. Thanx

Agreed. Especially, in the AL.

I agree with AJ not being in the lineup, but to blame Ozzie for the Rays IBB of Rios is unfair IMO.

Why is Danks worried about Kapler so much with these pickoff attempts? he is just a statue at first base. No threat at all.

We are now seeing that when guillen has to put thought into making decisions with the lineup and during the game, he is not capable of doing it. This should be his last year.

My 05 World Series DVD begs to differ.

Why, it's the job of the manager to anticipate the next move.

Ugh.

WTF was that?

Looks like Danks got away with hanging a pitch there.

After a few near homers this inning, funny to see Crawford get a hit on that.

i hate zobrist ugh......

Danks with not a lot on his pitches this inning. He's going to have to make a real good pitch coming up to keep the Sox in the lead.

3-0 to Zobrist as Danks is around 90 pitches, get out of it please. I would have the 'pen going.

And there's a great pitch to get Zobrist!!

wow. what a great comeback by danks

nice! way to pitch out of it danks...c'mon offense lets get him some run support

Great job, Danksie.

 

So much stress on the starters and bullpen, let's hope that we can hold them off, because the offense is what it is right now.

 

I'll never forget that grand slam Zobrist hit, it was off Thornton, wasn't it???

I'd actually like to see Santos get the 7th

You know damn well Danks is gonna be left in to face Pena.
