I need to root for teams that have more experience and don't choke
by Jeff Sullivan on Oct 11, 2008 5:22 PM PDT up reply actions
Speaking of,
It looks like Bay’s lack of experience in postseason and other big games is hindering him in these high-pressure situations, as many predicted.
God that trade pissed me off.
He should be a Ray.

He saved them up for the playoffs.
Whats the use hitting regular season homeruns? That selfish and unclutch like GAYROD LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

"But Joe Maddon likes his ability to hit sharp groundballs with two outs and runners in scoring position"
I’m sure that’s exactly what it is.
I'm excited for the announcement to come that Josh Beckett pitcher hurt in the playoffs
and Jeff’s frontpage post once again exclaiming “PITCHING HURT IS STUPID!”
Ha, I just came back to this thread precisely because I was hoping to see somebody mentioning this.

The Rays have been pretty magical this season.
They could go down by 6 and I’d still be watching just in case.
Crisp was smart turning himself into a switch hitter.
Not that he is great at switch hitting, just that allows him to get more playing time.
We have a player nicknamed "Loafie"

Crisp tried to climb the fence

I was waiting for it to bank of the wall behind the fence and hit him in the face.

Well it's not like they have a powerful lineup.
I mean they’ve got 29 combined from Manny and Bay, and 29 with Youkilis, and 23 with Ortiz, 19 with Drew, 17 with Pedroia, and 17 with Lowell. They’re obviously a small ball/run manufacturing team

I came into this series fully expecting the Rays to lose.
That and my love for Jason Bay helps soothe the pain a little bit.
If I performed at work like he did today it would go something like this:
Boss: Can you make 10 double-sided photo copies of this report and assess the future allocations for me?
Me: Sure will.
I then proceed to microwave a box of paper-clips and then use my bosses long-distance calling code to make a death threat to the white house.
That’s about what Balfour did today.

Gameday sez that the home plate umpire has been hilariously bad today, particularly in the Varitek at-bat.

what I love about post-season baseball
is that runs are at a premium, as the pitching is so much better.
I'm watching the AFL peo Javlinas on gameday the Rays aren't playing well at all.

Rays are 0-1 in games where he homers
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
My girl was asking earlier why Upton never hustles.
I think it really is just the way he runs. Long legs or something. No matter how fast he’s running, he looks like he’s jogging.
Chase Daniel is just a non-bipoler Matt Grothe.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
I just hate the hype surrounding most of these quarterbacks.
No credit ever goes to the offensive line or the wide receivers who do the hard work. Then these quarterbacks get drafted and suck ass in the NFL. They are all just a product of the team around them.
He's also 5'10"
Not going to survive in the NFL. But I do agree he throws a strong, crisp ball. Maybe he should look into pitching.
There are roughly 30 men on Earth good enough to be an NFL quarterback.
Doesn’t mean some of these college kids aren’t awesome in their current environment.
I would say that number is really around 10.
And it’s not they are bad, it’s just that their teammates get no credit.
Linemen, definitely. But receivers usually get more than enough credit.
For example, Daniel’s best receiver is also a Heisman candidate.
But it's in the square.
It has to be right.
That was one shitting pitch too.
66 MPH change that just kinda floated up there. How in the hell did Varitek not destroy it?
It's like that scene in RoY where he just underhands it in the end for a swing and a miss.

Price was warming this inning
I suspect Maddon brings him for the 8th.
Talk about baptism by fire.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
When you are running this low on pitchers
I think it’s a bad idea to yank a guy after one when it’s this close, epically a guy like Price who can go multiple innings. They should ride Wheeler as far as they can before they go to Price; saves be damned.

I was actually thinking they would ride Price to the win.
I trust him more than Wheeler.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
By all accounts he's a fair hitter.
He just doesn’t have the skills to play short. If he really starts hitting, though, I’m sure they’ll be cool with his below-average glove.
Price Down, Miller up.

Who else were they gonna throw?
I just thought that, unless he was hurt, Pap had another inning in him
9=8
Zobrist is pretty good. Decent, i guess.

Binting here actually isn't a horrible idea
but TImlin still blows so I can’t say I’d do it myself.

Chances are Timlin gets a DP miraculously.

Not in number of innings, but actual length, I think so. I might be wrong though.
