Depressing but not over by any means Gotta get out of this inning Bard. Jeter is your DP candidate.

[BucketOBalls]

Some much for the whole "relief ace" thing.

[paulb0t]

Two smoked balls.

Good news: Doubront sighting!

More beer.

[SemperFidelisSox]

12 walks and 5 HBP for Sox pitchers in 25 IP this series.

[lars10]

It was only a matter of time. They did what the Sox couldn't against Sabathia.

you mean get pitches called strikes that were 3-8" off the plate?

[NJ Fan]

Sit down, Cap'n...

[LesterFan]

Same pitch to Martin called a ball.

[Mystic Merlin]

Wait, why was that called?

Way to change the K zone after the damage has been done.

[BigIrish]

Exact same place as martins! Fuck u blue

[mauidano]

Marquez is universally disliked.

[boxosII]

that 40-pitcth 1st didn't help, either

[Fragile Freddie]

And now he calls that a strike. FUCK OFF AND DIE UMP

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Yeah, right.

[Gene Conleys Plane Ticket]

Bard vs. Martin

[nazz45]

You had him fucking 0-2. You throw 98 mph. Put him the fuck away.

I wish he stuck with the slider. Awful pitch selection during the Martin AB after making him look foolish on the slider.

Lol, it was obviously a bit of hyperbole, but if you feel good about this, then I think you are in the minority.

I felt fine about 3-2 in the 7th inning. Certainly not enough to say 'ballgame.'

[TFisNEXT]

That pitch touched the black...the pitch to Martin did not.

[twibnotes]

ump: "wait, Derek. Is it OK if I call minka?"

[BucketOBalls]

This feels like one of those times when Tito doesn't give a pitcher enough time to warm up so them come in and suck for a few batters.

[KenTremendous]

The people who did this to us:

Andruw Jones
Jesus Montero
Russell Martin
Eric Chavez

[Van Everyman]

Some much for the whole "relief ace" thing.

You're right. Those guys in the Hall of Fame with the 0.00 WHIP are much more deserving of the moniker.

[Stu Nahan]

Using Aceves for a second inning instead of Wheeler. Dumb.

It is clear that Tito had no confidence in Wheeler. I'd love to know why but he doesn't.

[yeomen]

12 walks and 5 HBP for Sox pitchers in 25 IP this series.

Yeah but all those walks were the Ump screwing up

[The Gray Eagle]

Yankees fans always whine that the Red Sox hit their batters too much, but half the time, they're trying to get hit, and it puts runners on base when they need them.

[BucketOBalls]

The Sox scored 2 runs in the previous 6 innings. Thus, they are on pace to score 1 in the next 3.

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Kind of knew this was coming after that granderson catch...

When the Sox come back and win this, you are only allowed a brief nod of approval and a quiet grunt for celebrating.

[Ed Hillel]

The Sox scored 2 runs in the previous 6 innings. Thus, they are on pace to score 1 in the next 3.

Seriously?

[Brianish]

Exactly. Runs scored before now is predictive.

Bill James, is that you?

[bob burda]

More beer.

Anybody else noticing that for two nights in a row, all the Yankees have done against Bard is square up the ball and
hit line shots all over the place? I don't like that at all.

[deconstruction]

Yeah but all those walks were the Ump screwing up

nice try

[Sprowl]

Excruciatin', it'n it?

Yes, yes it is.

He was G38's 3,000 K -- 2007 IIRC and was a total a-hole when interviewed @ end of game. If I had google or lexis-nexis skills I could quote it. Help me Sprowl.

I would, but nobody really wants to hear what Nick Swisher has to say. Ever.

Ballgame.

Since you think the game is over, you obviously won't mind feeding the hungry instead.

[KenTremendous]

We had a million baserunners in the first game and couldn't break through. They had a million in this one and did. Difference in the series, to this point.

What? Are you hallucinating? Last night?

[kartvelo]

I hate to interrupt all the Aceves/Bard bashing, but I just noticed that the Sox have scored only two runs so far tonight.

[paulb0t]

Apparently 3-5" outside is a strike again?

[LaszloKovacks]

so now he's calling the outside strike

[twibnotes]

Second pitch to Reddick looked way out of the zone

[ifmanis5]

Hopefully Tex's knee got infected with Jeter's herpes.

Bard Vs. Jeter

[bob burda]

What? Are you hallucinating? Last night?

Weren't the fantastic picks by Pedroia and Scutaro when Bard was in the game? Those balls were crushed.

[Greg29fan]

What? Are you hallucinating? Last night?

They had two hard-hit balls off him last night. One Scutaro made a good play on and the other one was right at Pedroia.

[NJ Fan]

Need some baserunners

[curly2]

Montero was not hit by a pitch, Martin was K'd.

Fuck you ump!

Interesting, then, that Salty, who was right there, didn't bat an eye when the ump said HBP.

[Nomar813]

Hopefully Tex's knee got infected with Jeter's herpes.

At least a case of athlete's hoof.

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Hopefully Tex's knee got infected with Jeter's herpes.

Can herpes transmit human to horse?

[Van Everyman]

This would be s good time for Reddick to imagine it's early July.

[Brianish]

Of course.

[MartyBarrettMVP]

Goddamit...
