Well, I would submit that Bumgarner is very, very good.LuckyBen said:Dyson is awful.

But the ball never hit the ground. How is that different than a play where one fielder bobbled the ball and another grabs it and secures it?Harry Hooper said:
The twist was what I mentioned upthread: the fielder who caught the ball was out cold. The baerunners were "tagging up" when his teammate came over, took the ball out of his glove to throw it in. It was ruled not a catch since the release was not intentional, though the ball never hit the ground.

In the unconscious scenario, the second man makes the "catch". (And do the runners leave early?)
He has sixty-four pitches, forty-nine of them strikes. If they try to work the count they're going to go down looking.soxhop411 said:Royals need to work the count and get him out of the game if they want a chance to win this
DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:Re: Sandoval, we've covered him several times in various threads but know what you are getting with him - he looks great in this series and has been pretty good in the playoffs. But the guy will drive a lot of Sox fans crazy with his lack of plate discipline. He led MLB in O-swing% this season and was second last year...to beloved former Red Sox A.J. Pierzynski
I think they would like to but Bumgarner is making it extremely difficult.soxhop411 said:Score some damn runs royals. Make this game
Reports are that Bumgarner could come out of the penSemperFidelisSox said:Needing to beat Peavy and Hudson at home isn't that daunting a task.
Thinking he was kind of "punished" for splitting time between center and right, but nowadays, outfielders are voted as just "outfielders" aren't they? Cain played CF in 93 games this season, RF in 77.soxhop411 said:Cain. Not a GG according to MLB. That award is such a fraud
It's been a fraud award for a while. After Jeter "won" it multiple times when there were many AL SS better than him in the field.Al Zarilla said:Thinking he was kind of "punished" for splitting time between center and right, but nowadays, outfielders are voted as just "outfielders" aren't they?

True, but the special ones usually rise up and win it, like Andrelton Simmons, not that Cain is in that class quite.soxhop411 said:It's been a fraud award for a while. After Jeter "won" it multiple times when there were many AL SS better than him in the field.
OK, so Cain may have lost out because of split votes.Savin Hillbilly said:
Other way around. They used to be voted as just outfielders, but three CFs would win the award every year so they broke it down by position to give the corner OFs a chance.
Probably not the rest of the night either. Bumgarner is toying with them.soxhop411 said:The royals will NOT score any runs this inning.
Al Zarilla said:HR making a mountain out of a mole hill there. The ball hung up for a long time and you could see either CF or RF had it.
