"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
Hey Ump, here's a hint:
When the ball forces the catcher to stand up to catch it, it ain’t a strike.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Now that Vic's walk moves Ells to 2nd...
Steal time?
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Yeah, go for ti.

Esp. if it gets Youk something to make decent contact with...
Instead of this fouled-off stuff.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Of course...
12_, 1 out – we get zero runs.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
That's why I wanted the steal.

Danks looks shaky.
Lets hope he doesn’t settle in.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Cafardo's insider access:
The Sox got haircuts today, but no one went through with the Mohawks talk – yay, we’re not stealing team bonding movements from the Rays.

Damn you, guy with cool shoes.
Perhaps a SS with working legs gets that?

Anyone else love the commercials in which the customer testimony sounds really forced...
Or they really don’t know what to say about the product?
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
I love Drew hitting 8th in our lineup.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
The problem is the #9 hitter -- and our lead-off hitter
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
by Drugs Delaney on Sep 6, 2009 2:38 PM EDT up reply actions
Drew should hit leadoff.
Move Ells to 8th. If he gets on, he can steal, and the 9th hitter can bunt him to 3rd.

I like Drew better than Ells at the top
Ellsbury hit much better 7/8 this year.

Baltimore up, 3-0
And they have 2 on, no outs.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Hopefully the sox can take advantage if they lose.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
Meh.
They’re just really young – they give glimpses of their future performance, but then they fall back.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Ugh. Why do networks think every postseason needs a theme song?
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
I hate the fox postseason song.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
It's the one they play every year.
Not the one they play all the time, only the postseason. I couldn’t find a clip of it.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
Ah.
So it’s not a Bon Jovi song that everyone will despise by this time next month?
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
No.

I don't mind it like once at the start of the game.
It plays after every commercial break, and just goes round and round.

O'ds have the bases loaded, 1 out
Roberts up …

2 RBI single for Roberts.

Woot.
TBS now discussing how the Rays dumped Kaz – it’s not like they’re getting a good set of prospects or anything. /sarcasm
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Giving Bears fans everywhere a good image.

Not out of the batter's box, he isn't
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
by Drugs Delaney on Sep 6, 2009 3:30 PM EDT up reply actions
If he were a RH hitter, he'd be even faster.
A LH hitter has to pivot before starting down the line—-all the momentum that can be used to move faster has to be used to turn in the proper direction.
Except he leans back on his follow through.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
That makes it even worse
Leaning back means he has to stop the backward motion and twist around. More energy not put into acceleration.
It seems like 100 years since Ells last beat one out
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Hey Ells, see what happens when you hit it on the ground.

Why did he slide?
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
B/c he's overcompetitive.
They forgot to explain to him the concept of a SACRIFICE bunt.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Everyone says that sliding slows the runner down.
Also, he could have gotten hurt.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
He's just trying to get to the bag by cutting down the distance.
Doesn’t have the long legs to do that by sprinting – and he’d run into a wall if it allowed him to catch the ball.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
I'd like to see some numbers on the sliding into 1st thing.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
It doesn't get recorded in game logs...
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
I know.
I’m sure somebody studies baserunning and stuff like that.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
Yes, but slide styles aren't stored in data.
Baserunning stats are like going 1B-3B on a single, stretching singles into doubles, etc.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Was Ruiz hurt?
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams

In more recent developments, dog put down even though man was breaking into dog's owner's house.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
The police shot my friend's dog because he barked at them or something.

I think his dad tried to file suit, but IDK how that went.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
Probably not great.
The cops could say that the dog looked rabid or something.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Without some video evidence, it's cop versus dog owner
Unless they can show that the dog was shot like ten times or something (excessive force), it’s going to be hard to prove anything.
Bay!!
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
Even more unreal
He’s actually been 2 runs above average against the CB this year.

Curveball
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
Negative = below average.
Good for pitchers, bad for batters.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Huh - I was mixing it up with Cutters.
Weird – FG has him at 1.13
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Oh, wait, per 100.
I’m struggling today…
Anyways, Bay’s been getting more fastballs and change-ups this year, which doesn’t make sense.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Lester's been pitching for like 5 hours?
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
The game overall seems like it's taking a long time.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
Hmm...
ha
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
Or worse still, if Maddon were managing the MFY's.
You could fit in a production of the Ring cycle in less time than a MFY-Sox game.
Great outing by Lester.
He’s starting to establish himself as a go to pitcher down the stretch
Ells beat out another.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
like in Major League.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
Imagine King Felix in Boston
Seattle is struggling to sign him to an extension, and they are talking about trading him over the off season. The Sox have expressed interest. We’d have to give up Buch and Bowden and a few more prospects. Imagine that rotation. Beckett, Lester, King Felix, Dice-k, and whoever you want to throw in the 5 spot.
And then Beck leaves after next season...
And we have to let Dice-K leave the next season after that so that we can resign Felix.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
I think you would
be able to keep Beckett or DiceK, but not both.
If we have to offer Felix an extension next season...
And we have to find someone to replace JD or Bay, Lowell or Vic, etc. pretty soon.

If we win, TB would be 7 back.
I know the Mets choked a 7 game lead in 3 weeks, but I don’t think the rays could make that big of a comeback
And I don't think we have the choking ability.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation

And, for what I was looking for:
Lester’s coming back out at 100 pitches? Hmm…
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Lester is good for 115

good.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
I'm surprised Lester is still in there
He’s pitching great, but with Bard and Wagner available…
Every inning you don't need them now
Is another inning you can use them later.
Also, Becketty-Boo is pitching tomorrow, so who knows what will happen.
He looked solid after the first inning +...
If Youk doesn’t commit errors, he’s got a good game.

amazing that they blew that
amazing and cool. god they suck
Maddon's mad genius ways bite him in the ass every so often.
He keeps trying to play matchups. Often it works, but you can only do that for so long before you tire out your bullpen.
K #8.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
He might be THE best
Maybe Santana, Maybe CC, Maybe Hamels or Lee, that’s about all I can think of
He's better than Hamels right now.
"All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth." -Ted Williams
Thats why I said maybe.
I’d take Lester over all those guys. He’s younger and more consistent.

well thats easy
but i dont want to get yelled at. he just needs an F in his name
Castro--an awful hitter--just crushed that Wagner meatball
Get the pen up …

nah
he has to give up a run at some point
Just a precaution
Wagner’s stuff doesn’t look good—and his velocity has declined each time he has been used.
