QUOTE (glennhoffmania @ Apr 26 2009, 09:50 PM)  Pardon me for being late with this question, but why did Papelbon pitch last night with a five run lead, making him unavailable tonight? I missed the last inning so I'm just going by the box score. He started warming up in the 8th, when it was still 13-11. Once warm, we got the last 3 runs, so it wasn't going to be a day of rest for him either way. -------------------- "This is shameful.

QUOTE (MentalDisabldLst @ Apr 26 2009, 08:48 PM) You know, I haven't minded Joe Morgan too much tonight - I thought he did a good job talking about the Red Sox' analysis of Pedroia that led to them drafting him, talking about the art of base stealing and so on... and I think Jon Miller is definitely the best play-by-play baseball guy that ESPN has on the payroll. Listen to (say) Miller's introduction to the lineup back in the first inning, he has very quick and incisive facts about each player, phrased eloquently, delivered efficiently... and what clearly required some research to put together. Was it an OMGWOW kind of moment? No, but it was better than 'merely competent', which is what we all wish Joe Buck and Tim McIgnoramus would achieve. Steve Phillips is still a moron though. One of the highlights of the WBC championship game was Miller reading the lineup for Korea and akwardly speeding through the name 'Bum Ho'. Thinking about still puts a smile on my face. -------------------- "If you're going to get blown out and one hit the two things might as well happen together." - from the Tao of Foulkey Reese

Ellsbury is having a fantastic weekend.
I hope it gives him confidence for the next month or even the rest of the year. This post has been edited by sachmoney: Apr 26 2009, 08:53 PM -------------------- "BAH BAH BAH BAH BUH BAH! DOONG DOONG DUH DUM DUM DI DUM! DOONG DOONG DUH DUM DUM DI DUM!" - Ike

If only Green had sacrificed. Now there's one out with runners on first and second.

QUOTE (glennhoffmania @ Apr 26 2009, 09:50 PM) Pardon me for being late with this question, but why did Papelbon pitch last night with a five run lead, making him unavailable tonight? I missed the last inning so I'm just going by the box score. They had already started warming up Papelbon when it was 12-10 or 12-11 (top of the eighth inning). Since he'd thrown a lot of pitches on Friday, I think Tito decided that he wouldn't get Papelbon up tonight for the third day in a row, so he might as well use him (last night). |

QUOTE (P'tucket, rhymes with... @ Apr 26 2009, 06:47 PM) You conveniently omit the fact that the basepaths are 20% shorter for Canadian players. Yes they are shorter, but much more slippery.

Time to get them in. -------------------- The genius of the Snuggie is that is an entirely useless product that solves a problem that did not exist. There is a lot more in that single sentence than meets the eye. Lots of infoco products are useless. In fact, I’ll just break away from generalities and tell you that they’re all useless on some level. Some are entirely useless. Some are mostly useless the way that Wesley was mostly dead. But they’re all useless.

I have to concede this - the comment re. pitch stress and counts was a good one by Joe.
Hey, gotta make myself feel good about him somehow. EDIT - It is so sad Varitek, Ellsbury and Green have home runs before Ortiz.

If Ellsbury was on second, he could have got to third there.
