WilliamTell Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 02:12 PM) I wonder fairly often why guys like Ortiz/Thome who get the overshift don't push a bunt down the 3b line 5 times a year. If you get it past the pitcher it's a guaranteed hit, could even be a freaking double, and it's like a free 5 hits a year. Ortiz was looking to bunt yesterday before he hit his game winning 3 RBI double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 02:11 PM) That was a safety squeeze, not a suicide squeeze. Lillibride didn't break until after contact was made. I'd bet money that wasn't a called play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be lying to you if i said i didn't. Extra Innings has introduced me to so many great ads. Have you seen the doctors ad they show out west, with the doctor talking about caring for his patients like he cares for his family, that finishes with one of his kids on his lap saying, "Daddy's baby girl!"

fathom Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Gavin's made more bad pitches in this inning than he has in the last month. Sox in a lot of trouble if this keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Damnit Gavin. That was the most predictable "losing of a perfect game" I have ever seen. And now, of course, he can't even continue to pitch well. Get out of this f***ing inning and get your s*** together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 The best part about this game is Gavin can go as long, or as short, as he needs to, because the back of the pen (Putz, Thornton, Jenks) is on long rests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) Dan Hudson's slider just molested Mike Hessman over in New York. I expect him to be taken into police custody after the game. Edited August 1, 2010 by Thunderbolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 So as Lillibridge and Viciedo continue to produce when given the chance and Kotsay continues his season-long slump, what can Ozzie's rationale be for keeping Kotsay when Teahen returns?
