He missed his location on every fastball that AB

[HangingW/ScottCooper]

Walk Ortiz as the go-ahead run? Walkoff pinch hit from Youk?

[EddieYost]

There is a kid on my son's little league team that does this. Its's weird because he is right-handed but he does throw hard left-handed. His dad is a bit of an asshole so I am sure he made the kid do this when he was very small.

My experience is that its usually that the parents know nothing about baseball.

[ichirob4ichiro]

I know the crowd is chanting "Rodney" but I like to imagine they are saying "Bobby"

Calms me down.

[JohnnyTheBone]

Actually no, I don't need F&M in my life right now.

Nobody deserves that.

Make it happen, David!

[Lose Remerswaal]

ESPN Gamecast still doesn't have A-Gon's GO.

Of course it also says it is 64 degrees at Fenway

WTF was he swinging at?

The same pitch Sweeney struck out on.

[smokin joe wood]

Youk available to pinch hit?

[mauidano]

Up to the hottest hitter on the Sox. Patriot Papi.

[rembrat]

walk Papi?

Then Ross goes wallball.

[nvalvo]

He hit it hard. If Peña isn't holding Pedroia on, that would be a tough play.

[Nuf Ced]

intentional walk

[pokey_reese]

No reason to pitch to Ortiz here. None at all.

But what is the purpose of learning to throw lefty? To pitch?

Unless you don't want to put on the winning run.

[mauidano]

Youk.

[pokey_reese]

Ross gets a chance to be the hero.

[nvalvo]

No reason to pitch to Ortiz here. None at all.

I disagree. Walking the winning run?

edit: Maddon sees things differently.

ha, is that a Bobby sucks chant?

[PrometheusWakefield]

Well, he is the winning run.

[SouthernBoSox]

Cody Ross can hit a fastball.

Throw a fastball. Do it.

[FungosWithJimy]

Adrian pisses me off in most pressure situations. How do you swing at ball 4 there??

[dauber23]

Cody Ross walks off. Short man's complex wins again.

[canderson]

For a second I thought the crowd was chanting Bobby Sucks.

[mauidano]

Boss time.

DLew On Roids became a fan of Intentionally Walking The Winning Run.

My son throws L and bats R. He's left handed for virtually everything except batting. It's weird.

And I definitely did not encourage it when he was young. It very much restricts his baseball possibilities because he's too small to play 1B and can't play anywhere else in the infield. He used to catch when he was younger but can't any more.

[kieckeredinthehead]

I saw Repko running yesterday. I'm not sure he's faster than Ortiz.

[ngruz25]

Nate Spears to pinch run? Can he run?

[SoxScout]

no fuckign way

[Obscure Name]

I mostly have Little Marvels. They're full of coutry goodness and green peaness.

[hittery]

Well, he is the winning run.

Or Repko is.

Edit; er, not.

Time to be a hero Cody

[ivanvamp]

ESPN's gamecast has the strike one pitch to Ross about six inches outside. Was it?

[LynnRice75]

Play fair, Rodney. Walk the next two.

[Alcohol&Overcalls]

Adrian pisses me off in most pressure situations. How do you swing at ball 4 there??

Because it was a pretty good slider?

[PrometheusWakefield]

A extra base hit and this was the Cody Ross sweep.

[nvalvo]

no fuckign way

...That first pitch was a strike? I agree.

[Buzzkill Pauley]

Adrian pisses me off in most pressure situations. How do you swing at ball 4 there??

It was in pretty much the same spot that Sweeney got rung up on in the 7th.

[OnWisc]

Fernando doesn't look marvelous.

[CGSO]

Youkilis PH walk off grand slam?

[SoxScout]

WHAT THE FUCKIGN FUCK UMP

[ichirob4ichiro]

Come on dirtdog!

[ShaneTrot]

But what is the purpose of learning to throw lefty? To pitch?

Yeah, the kid pitches.

[estreetfan]

Noooooo

[HangingW/ScottCooper]

all 4 pitches were out of the zone

Make him a switch hitter. That's what Lance Berkman's dad did; it worked out pretty well for him.

[ElcaballitoMVP]

COME ON BLUE

[Frank, Fenway]

High and outside, dick

[ivanvamp]

ESPN's gamecast has the strike one pitch to Ross about six inches outside. Was it?

And the same thing for strike 2. ??????

EDIT - And again for strike 3. All five pitches in that AB, according to espn's gamecast, were *WELL* off the plate. For those folks watching....were they?
