Swiss Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 What happened with Lugo? He bunted but the ump called him out.I didn't watch very well this situation.He bunted, but the ball was over fair territory when it bounced back and hit him. Any batter who contacts a fair ball is automatically out, even if both his feet were still in the batter's box at the time.Diaz (home plate umpire) made the correct call, that's why the discussion with Francona was quick.I thought he shouldn't be called out because he unintentionally touched the ball. But you explained well the stuff, thank you. It's great to be young and a Giant! - Larry Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiodrama Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Outstanding win for the Sox tonight, and what an amazing performance by Hideki Okajima. Maybe the best pick-up of the 2006-07 offseason.So, um, Nick...got anymore guarantees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Let the Sox use up all their hitting tonight, I have no objections to it, because the Rockies WILL WIN four straight after tonight... and you can take that to the bank.You're 0-for-2, Nick. You might want to quit while you're behind.No kidding... no more predictions from me, what happens, happens. I hope the Rockies can pull it out, but if they don't, I'm still very proud they made it as far as they did.Why aren't you be proud of your team?The Rockies really made history reaching the World Series when almost nobody gave them a penny. 21 wins over 22 games including that marvelous one-game playoff against the Padres... all that isn't turkey's mucus. It's a truly f-e-a-t.No sir, nobody can't take away from you the pride for the Rockies.I'm very happy for the Red Sox, but, as I already said, I never bashed on another guys. Your Rockies made a good role and gave a good fight in Game 2.See you later. It's great to be young and a Giant! - Larry Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Exactly. Who'd have thought COLORADO would be in the World Series back in April? Las Vegas bookmakers gave them about the same odds as they gave Pittsburgh and the DEVIL Rays...Win or lose they got there, which is more than 28 other teams could say. So enjoy it.

Burning River Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 It was nice to see a "real" ball game last night. The past few Red Sox Games have been arse kickings. As a Tribe fan.. that was not good! To see Colorado hang tough ater getting blown out on Wednesday is a good thing. It should be interesting in Coor's. Bigger outfieds, no DH. I think since Boston is up 2-0, Ortiz playing first might not be a terrible thing. I can't see not using that stick in the line-up. Maybe use a late inning replacement for defensive purposes. I could see that position switching as the games go on and if Colorado gets back in to it.I'm hoping Colorado is able t omake it a Series. Going 6 or 7 games would be nice. Yeah, I'd like them to win... but I still want to watch baseball for more than 2 more games at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 If Boston were smart, they'd play Youkilis at first and have Ortiz on the bench in Game 3. They do have a 2-game lead and would benefit having Youkilis's glove. Coors Field is not a place to have a deficiency on defense.Most folks think that Coors is home to nothing but the 3-run HR's, but having watched a lot of games there, walks and errors kill a team at Coors more than the 3-run HR's.

Sport Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 and Coors isn't the fly-away zone that it once was. Like the humidor or not, it has definitely made the park more pitcher friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 and Coors isn't the fly-away zone that it once was. Like the humidor or not, it has definitely made the park more pitcher friendly.Yep, still a hitters park but it's no longer home to the 11-9 game almost every night.By the way, the Red Sox did some great advanced scouting on that pickoff move to get Holliday with two outs in the eighth. Holliday admitted he was going on the first pitch since the Rockies noticed in the ALDS that Papelbon made no attempt to hold Howie Kendrick on, allowing him to steal second and third in an identical situation. The Red Sox bench coach, Brad Mills, knew that Holliday liked to try and steal on the first pitch whenever he did steal. Still no excuse for Holliday to get picked off there, though.

Audiodrama Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 For those questioning Ortiz's presence in the field in Game 3, I can shed some light on the situation.During the regular season, every interleague series in a National League park involving the Red Sox featured a three-man rotation at first and third base. Ortiz, Lowell and Youkilis would each get a day off during the three-game set (Game 1: Ortiz 1B, Lowell 3B; Game 2: Ortiz 1B, Youkilis 3B; Game 3: Youkilis 1B, Lowell 3B). This first game happens to be Youkilis' day off. I'm willing to bet that Ortiz will be on the bench in Game 5 (should it occur) when the Sox go up against a lefty, Jeff Francis. The Sox aren't choosing offense over defense or anything, they're just sticking to their rotation of those three guys. Nothing major. On top of that, if Ortiz sits in Game 5 (which I fully expect he would), they're picking the game in which they'll need the least offense to win, since that would be Josh Beckett's next scheduled start (and, if his insane run in the postseason is any indication, he'll allow very few threats from the Colorado offense).

See Red Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 That is true. The Red Sox -- front office and coaching staff included -- have stuck to their plans so far this season, and I wouldn't expect it to change now. I'd think that Lowell, Youk, and Ortiz will all sit a game... though, personally, I'm hoping they don't have to make that decision for game five.

Jigga Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I hope there is a game 5, but only because that would mean one more outing for Josh Beckett. He's had one hell of a run. Besides, after all the cheating exposure, the 756* hubbub, and the Joe Torre fiasco, we need this kind of a story to end the season.

Jigga Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hey the ump stole the Manny's run. The hesitation came from trying to see if Torrealba still had control of the ball.Sorry, Swiss, I think the ump got it right. Looks like Manny got tagged on the left hip right before he smacked the plate. At least the offense looks SICK right now! Plus, I doubt Daisuke would blow a 6-run lead.
