What was Boston’s responsibility then, standing mere feet from Yoan? By the time he would have even said something, it would have been too late. It’s not like he would have been yelling at Yoan to tag up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, having the first 8-5 triple play in history under your watch is SOMETHING. Didn't they at least beat Michigan or PSU on of those years? Wisconsin?

harkness99 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 the one thing i will say as a half-ass positive never thought we could sweep this series - was hoping for 2 out of 3... which is still possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy tonight was horrible... just plan bush league. i will say its the first really bad umpiring ive seen in a while however. Do you watch every day ? I do and there has been some incredibly bad umpiring this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Deep Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Just watched the replay over and over and Moncada took off and put his head down well before Buxton caught the ball. Just made no sense......it was like we were throwing this game tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think overall balls and strikes have been terrible for the last few years specifically. Tonight, was the first night in a while where i thought the balls and strikes were terrible. but ya there were plenty of other bad plates this year.

Tnetennba Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I still believe good coaching might salvage some of these dudes and it needs to happen soon. But no, they have to keep fucking around in their supposed window and let TLR drive the clown car completely off the edge into the ravine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I was at the game but forgot my phone...that was a mess. Nice bobblehead. First off why didnt Engel run for sheets intially. He ends up at third on moncadas hit. Moncada was half way to third ..first time he hustled in 2 years and makes history being may culprit in first ever 8-5 triple play. Tim Anderson is not a leadoff hitter. Tony guys thrown but nobody ever knew it. The offense is beyond broken Robert and Vaughn don't even try and pull the ball moncada doesn't even swing hard any more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn seems obsessed with relievers instead. The Needless Kimbrel acquisition last season started the decline of the Sox. Well the team was sharper when they had the scrubs in the first half providing the energy and focus for sure. Kimbrel was just a dumb move that poured gas on the fire. This group is a bad bunch of coconuts. In the FO you gotta be able to see problems and weaknesses, and react ahead of time in some instances. They desperately need a new set of eyes like the Bears.

I long for the days of the 11 team Big Ten. Adding Nebraska made a ton of sense for the Big Ten but the Rutgers/Maryland additions were a pure business decision. Whatever lies ahead for college football will look nothing like the sport I grew up watching. Of course, I'll still be tuned in every Saturday so I guess I'm the sucker in this scenario.

If the both make the right play it's 1st and 3rd 1 out. To have 2 runners make simultaneously stupid plays is the reason why it's never happened in baseball history.

I think Moncada assumed that Buxton was not going to make that catch. It was a terrible play by Moncada in a tied game late. He lost focus and showed lack of fundamentals.

ND to the Big 10…has to happen. Utah CO ASU AZ to Big 12. WSU and Oregon State are now isolated along with UC Berkeley… Or they skip Wash and Oregon and go after UVA UNC (most likely) or Miami (one of the three) to pair with ND. That might force FSU and Clemson to the SEC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engel was very close to second base when he took off as Moncada was barreling down. Engel should gone back to second and tag the base before he started running. At least we would have had a man on 3 rd with 2 out and saved the embarrassing triple play, that will put the Sox in laughingstock lore forever.
