The phrase "Tommy John Surgery" is being bandied about wrt/Beckett's numbness in his
ring and little fingers. Some well-known sports Dr. apparently it's often be the first sign of a
condition that eventually result in the need that operation.
So, that's really f*cking wonderful, no?
That was a dumb take. Bad, bad AB.
Typical terrible Crisp at bat.
Bases loaded, one out, I want another run. Semi-squander, at least.
Or tonight, but he just swung at it again on 1-2.
Does that include the one with Lugo getting him called out on interference?
Good call.
And then lets himself get jammed on the 2-1. Terrible AB.
####### Angels.
If the playoffs started today, who would the Sox play?
Or coasting. They've got a 15-game lead with <40 to play, and acting like it.
Not really. It's not as if they're losing because they aren't playing their best players , or are resting their best pitchers or something.
I think you can coast mentally even when you're playing your best players. That play sure looked like an example of it: not a lack of range or lack of skill on defense, but sheer laziness on both players parts - Hunter, in particular, should have taken charge of the play and didn't.
I mentioned this on the main board, but I'm very unconcerned about those two teams.
Same here.
Which I'd attribute to laziness. Or lack of focus. Or coasting. Call it whatever you want. They're not playing very hard right now with the big lead.
Not that one expects much help from the A's or Mariners in their current respective states.
Neither is this year's version of Clay Buchholz.
Well, just think of what happens to all the other Red Sox pitchers who've no-hit us over the past 10 years. That lawnmower guy? He's gone. Nomo? Gone.
You no-hit the Baltimore Orioles, it catches up with you...
Aybar is one of the few guys on the Angels with incentive to play hard, since he's a bench guy who still hasn't proven he can be a starter, and is getting regular playing time for the first time in his brief career in the majors with the Izturis injury.
But of course saying that they're coasting as a team doesn't mean that every single play in the game is going to reflect that. It means that there are going to be more mental lapses than might be typical for that team, more instances of guys going at 3/4 speed in situations where they wouldn't have if they were still fighting for a playoff spot, etc.
Makes some sense given history and that the Yankees have several head-to-head opportunities to close the gap whereas the Red Sox are done with both the ChiSox and Twins.
It's getting close to the hypothetical point where it makes enough sense to root for the Yankees when they play Tampa Bay to overcome whatever emotional attachment one has to rooting for whoever opposes the Bronx Bombers on any given day. Unless you're looking Wild Card all the way...but given how this team plays on the road, I don't see them going too far in that case.
He wasn't going to score anyway.
I've done a fair bit of rooting for the Yanks on similar grounds in the past. Feels a bit dirty, but I can live with it.
Well, with the hypothetical NYY-TB matchup there's also the WC to consider. TB winning such a game puts the Sox further away from a shot at the East title but closer to the WC. (Assuming the Yankees don't fall much further off the pace.)
Huff's swing at the 2-0 sure was a gift he needed. Not sure he can take advantage of it, though.
Oh, I know. I usually root for everyone to lose every other game. Kind of the baseball version of "shoot 'em all and let God sort 'em out."
It was Cash who wasn't paying attention to the action on the field. And it's moot now since he scored on a home run.
