Quite an inning for Beckham here.

Red Sox announcers calling out umps for warning the White Sox....

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 08:03 PM) Does anybody agree with me when I say the Red Sox are probably the best team in baseball with a relatively healthy roster? I do. If they are healthy they are extremely good.

Floyd has a good approach tonight.

I love these trade ideas....lets deal our overpaid, overrated non producers who can't play a lick of defense for an all-around player!!!

Great finish to the game. I got in just in time to see Paulie's homer and then Sale showed some serious moxie...seemed to lose focus, walked 2 guys...then just like that flipped a switch and got it done.

Det-Minny game no longer going well at all.

Hahaa....it sure didn't end pretty, but we got the W.

Props to E Jax. That's studly work.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:42 PM) Excellent location and sequence! Come on Jackson, be a hero! He couldn't have walked to AJ and handed to him in a better location. That pitch was simply unhittable. End it EJ

EJacks is getting too much of the plate now. Needs to locate a bit better...he's still got good stuff (which is why only a couple seeing eye singles), just needs to locate a bit better.

Jackson is getting tired I see...that first pitch to Hafner was 98 miles per hour.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:32 PM) And if people are wondering why they kept in Lilli its because if they used Manny theyd basically have no one who could play 2b/SS/3b if something crazy happened. Take that logic stuff out of here. There was NO Need for Ramirez to hit there. If bad happens and we need a stick later, then he's there...in the meantime we need someone to take the field and catch the ball.

Why did the Indian manager take out that sinker ball guy? Not a good decision there.

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:24 PM) Hawk blaming the umpire I think for Paulie's at-bat lol Is Hawk drunk? I think this ump has been great tonight. Even the questionable one to AJP was actually a strike I thought and only looked questionable because of where the catcher had originally setup, but it was still a strike. I can't find a single issue with this home plate umpire...wish all of them were this good.

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:17 PM) Manny? I think I mis-quoted you. My apologies.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) e-jax is just filthy nasty tonight No question. He has one of the best sliders in baseball that I've seen. Basically he comes with heat and that slider...nothing fancy, just a lot of filth.

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) And how did that turn out? As horrific as CQ has looked lately, you don't pinch hit for a guy who can win the game with one swing.

Battle of the bullpens perhaps...

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) Pitching Change? Whats the deal? Masterson is done. He's gotten wild and the Sox finally figured out you have to be patient with him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:05 PM) Might be time to switch signs, cause Royals seemingly called pitch out every time we tried something. Either that, or stop doing a hit-and-run on the 1-1 count. No question about that. A good aggressive baseball decision doesn't mean crap if other teams are reading your signs.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:04 PM) It was a hit and run. If you watch the replay Pierre even thinks about swinging at the pitch out. And ordinarily it would have been a good baseball play. Cleveland somehow read it and pitched out. That's just baseball. The complaining about good, aggressive baseball in here is hilarious. Yea, it sucks they nailed Teahen, but it's still good baseball more often than not.

Damnit. I actually don't mind running there, but Indians nailed Ozzie....did they pick our sign?

Haha...I thought Ozzie played that right...bunt, pinch run, lefty to hit against pitcher who may be struggling.

That should do it. Bad pitch. And Jackson had been using and abusing this Duncan guy...
