Oh wait, yeah, you're right.

 

So Manny should definitely be in there.

but then theyll probably bring in paplebon

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

Fine with me.

Alexei chases ball 4 over his head. Jeez, f***ing pathetic effort today.

typical alexei swinging down in the dirt or over his head

Now we put in a pinch runner? I'm confused.

That ball was chin high too. Alexei was swinging no matter where the pitch was.

Finally. A smart move. Sometimes it literally feels like there's a retard managing our team.

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

Seriously. Him and AJ are just morons at the plate. I don't understand how a major league baseball player can walk 20 and 13, times respectively. Frank did that in one month every year, sometimes every two weeks. Now the pinch runner comes in. If he had been there in the first place, then Okajima has one more thing to worry about even if De Aza wasn't going to steal. Just the threat puts another element on the pitcher's mind.

Better now than never.

Fine with me.

here he comes...nice match up

Matt Thonrton's left handed too.

 

Thornton's bad at holding runners on. Very bad.

 

There was 2 outs...who cares! But thanks, you basically admitted that Francona schooled Ozzie.

 

Who cares? You'd rather have the tying run in scoring position with two out as opposed to on first?

With 2 outs, you just go after the hitter. Justifying keeping Buehrle in there over Thornton, or a RHP (like it should have been) is insane in my opinion.

If Manny were to ever hit a clutch bomb for the remainder of the season now would be the perfect time.

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.

Manny has had his pitches to hit already. Now down in the count 0-2.

Papelbon isnt even looking at the runner on second.

Ball hit him.

Well, he did his job.

Pinch runner for Manny now.

I'd rather Manny still be up there. De Aza is gonna be going at some point, just hope he picks the right pitch.

Great AB by Manny. Can Beckham stay on top of the high fastball?

That might have grazed him...

I thought that was a foul tip for the K . Glad he got hit .
