Just occurred to me that the next inning you speak of… is only the 6th. Man this feels like a slow game.

Home run and a walk.
No reason to not think this inning wont end witha crooked number
Beckett is making up for pitching so well coming off the DL.

All things considered
Its just 3 runs, shouldn’t be a huge deal, New york was gonna score regardless
Beckett, imploding
This is very reminiscent of his last start vs the yanks….here we go
Its his fault
Forget about the laundry list of batters Beckett has hit, and always seems to hit at least one per start.
You can not call that.
simply call it a ball

just fyi
i think in germany its like this:
1. Soccer (nothing is really close to it )
2. Formula 1
3. Boxing (the Klitschkos are huge)
4. Whatever Sport Germany has a star in it at the moment, so atm prolly Biathlon with Magdalena Neuner winning 2 Gold and 1 Silver Medal at the Winter Olympics

The fucking guy didnt even move
what a piece of shit
If that picture is of you....
then I think insults wont hurt you anymore
nobody was talking baseball.
you took the first foot towards dbag land, and i ran with it
It's the batters responsibility to try to get out of the way
I hope he bounces one off his noggin next time through

he didnt have a chance
Beckett hits people – often
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
There's a rule that if the batter doesn't try to get out of the way, you don't get first base
That was borderline
i've seen worse
i’ve seen batters lean into the pitch to get first base.
I may have seen that called a non-HBP once in about 20 years.
Fernando Vino used to do it every time

yeah cause beckett never hits batters when he has a hissy fit

Well, been watching but not now, I just can't this is the end of the season.
I love Lester and Pedroia!!! ITS MAN LOVE!
season ended
with Youkilis injury, as far as the postseason was concerned.
With Youk healthy and Pedey coming back, there was still hope if the pitching could step up.
Now too many things are going wrong.
As far as I'm concerned, the season ended when Vic went on the DL.

I really hope I'm wrong, but Dusty coming back isn't going save us like everyone thinks it's going to to,
Guys coming off DLs,
1: Get rested every other day, 2: Normally don’t come back hot and struggle for a couple of weeks.
If it was early in the season that’s one thing but time isn’t on our side.
I mean in a situation where Youk wasn't hurt
Before Youk got hurt, there was a lot of talk about when Dusty comes back are back in this, but more than likely he wouldn’t be himself for the first couple of weeks.
Don't the Yankees own Beckett?
What are his career numbers against him?

JOBA IS COMING IN.....
This game might get a lot more intresting
Since the face been revealed the game got real
doubtful
no Youk , Joba will have to hit someone else
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
I thought the same thing, who does Joba hit without Youk there.
I’d say Beltre if he wasn’t already on base.
so has anyone said why Lowell has not played several games in a row like he was supposed to?
The certified ambassador of all things good and great, here at OTM.
OK, remember that Beckett curveball earlier in the game that their pitch zone showed as being off the plate?
That was closer than some of those were shown in the overhead view. I’m fairly positive they edited that tracking **** purely to make their “edge of the plate” point.
USG
Oh, are you saying originally it looked like a strike and they made it look off a bit?
Dunno, never put anything past ESPN
A supporter of the MFY.
It was shown as off the plate on their tracker.
That little white strike zone they throw up there. I’m just saying they edit them when they need to make a point about past pitches.
Beckett’s probably registered as off the plate. I just doubt all of Moseley’s were just perfectly on the edge like the graphic showed.

This is half on Beckett and half on Cash.
I swear Cash decreases our pitcher’s skill.

When did Ellsbury go on the DL, again?
I think he was a .300 hitter last year, the .186 looks like a small sample size monster to me.
A supporter of the MFY.
.301 with a .355 OBP
Not exactly what you’re looking for from a leadoff man.

He's not good, but he is a major leaguer.
I wouldn’t mind a trade, but who is his replacement?

It's not unreal for a player to be struggling coming off an extended DL stint.
What’s bad is for the teams manager not to realize this and hit him lead-off
Nah
Hansen never had any major league success.

Well, no, the championship meant everything, but giving Beckett the huge dollars this year...
not the best use of our money

I simply say I wouldn't call Ells with Beckett or Lowell because Ells is only 26 years old and still coming off an injury.
Lowell is at the end of his carear, Beckett is Beckett.
Next year will be a good year to judge Ells, a full year playing a corner outfield position, I think he will be impressive defensively in LF and will find his swing again.
Beckett is a mess too

That's the thing. Beckett was fine last year, maybe he faded at the end, but overall.
His season is completely fucked this year.

they would be easier to deal than a Zambrano since they pitch in the AL East

true, but no one was willing to pay as much before this year.
will they be willing to pay that much after this year?
I doubt it, I'm just saying I do not see them as an albatross like the Z or Zito deals

getting to what you said about Lackey being an inning eater.
I would rather have him than Dice. Dice doesn’t eat innings.

in exchange for Manny?

I was listening to a Sox gam last month
Castiglione said the Dodgers were trying to unload Manny & were working on a deal with the White Sox but it fell through. Surprised me, I had not been following the trades or the game while studying but it seems Manny has worn out his welcome .
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

sure hope that does not happen

Exactly, that's why I wish we could have traded him.
I doubt he does this again, but maybe he is maturing.

he thinks he is a rock music star
The certified ambassador of all things good and great, here at OTM.
yes, but dumb fans factor in the posting fee to his performance
The certified ambassador of all things good and great, here at OTM.
That's true, but that's the cost of bussiness and has nothing to do with Dice-K personally.
He is only making 8 mil a year.
I can see adding the money to his contract as total money spent, but it’s just how the posting system in Japan works, it allows teams to have compensation for losing major talent.
I think the Beckett extension will bite us big time.
If we had just waited, with the way the season has gone, we could have signed our 3rd starter for so much cheaper. That would be a risk worth taking.

This was the turn point series in my mind, either we took 3/4 or we start looking at this as a “bridge year” and employing a different strategy one where we arn’t making the playoffs.
