hammerhead johnson Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Nice one. However, cocaine is a rich man's drug. Somehow, I get the feeling that soxman ain't raking in the dough. Ace is the place for all your sniffing needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 31-0-0 Hermy winning. Marte did his job today, but Gooch f'd up. I vote Hermy even though Marte is my favorite player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double play is turned and that's not discussed. He was used as a lefty specialist in that situation, did his job and got a DP ball which is his job. Gooch didn't turn it.

He needed to at least make the batter put the ball into play. Iguchi blew it and Marte choked. Edited May 31, 2005 by Jabroni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needed to at least make the batter put the ball into play. Iguchi blew it and Marte choked. Marte tried to get him to swing at a slider. The slider was never supposed to hit the strike zone. If he did that, the ball would be in play and probably 2 runs score instead of one. What? You wanted him to give up something down the middle of the plate? It was either going to be a slider low and away or a high fastball. Not his fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a full count and the bases loaded, he has to throw a pitch that's at least near the strike zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, you throw it in the strike zone or anywhere near it and the guy will get a hit and you put yourself in more deep s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called "Angels rally in 9th:" if you want to see it again. That ball was no where near the zone. It was so low that Chone Figgins would have to be an idiot to swing at it.
