OT: Blues Fans of the 2013 World Series

[Daley Tarasenkshow]

That was the right call by the umpires. You're allowed to switch a call back like that. Tough break for Kozma though.

 

[Daley Tarasenkshow]

****

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Kozma

 

[Alklha]

It is partially on Kozma. Wainwright can't expect double plays to get out of innings, he has pitched like **** so far tonight.

It was so clearly the wrong call to start I can't be angry. But god damnit Kozma. Catch the ****ing ball. God knows he ain't in there for his bat.

He has. But Kozma needs to make that play. He's in there for one thing only. To play defense. It's not like it was Ellsbury running to first. It was Ortiz. He had all the time in the world.

 

[Celtic Note]

How do you not catch that toss Kozma? How?

 

[Vladys Gumption]

I'm about to throat punch this ump. That third strike on Yadi was six inches below the knees. But Waino doesn't get that call.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

You have got to be kidding me...

 

[Alklha]

Jesus Christ.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Get Miller up. Waino's rattled.

 

[Alklha]

Get Miller up. Waino's rattled.

He needs to get taken out of this game now. His count is low enough that he can go into Game 4, that makes him an option for time in Game 7.

I was pessimistic about our offensive ability tonight against Lester though... so I'm more inclined to say that.

You know Matheny won't. Waino is his ace. He's either going to lose this game this inning for us, or pull himself together.

Edit: Kozma strikes again!

 

[Lord Helix]

Man...That pitch looked good.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Does this ump know its allowed for him to call strikes on the Red Sox?

 

[EastonBlues22]

The Red Sox have only centered one hit off him. It's not like he's getting pounded up there. He should have been out of the first unscathed, and this inning shouldn't be where it currently is either.

 

[Alklha]

Matheny won't do it because while it is "only" 3 runs it is an admission of defeat. Looking like it won't be 3 in a minute.

Kozma makes that play in the regular season without blinking. He might not have had an out at the end of it, but he comes up with the ball clean.

The Red Sox have only centered one hit off him. It's not like he's getting pounded up there. He should have been out of the first unscathed, and this inning shouldn't be where it currently is either.

Not disagreeing, but are we really going to have a much better chance with Waino pitching for another 3 innings (which is all he'll last at current pace)?

 

[EastonBlues22]

Defense has to make that play. They're stinking up the joint behind Wainwright.

 

[Meatwagon]

Well this game is a hearty bag of suck.

 

[542365]

We are playing so much like the '06 Tigers right now it's scary. Not only are there terrible, blatant errors, but plays that I feel are usually made, like the grounder to Freese that just got by him, aren't being made. Hopefully we're just getting all this crap out in Game 1. We only need to win one game in Fenway.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

The Red Sox have only centered one hit off him. It's not like he's getting pounded up there. He should have been out of the first unscathed, and this inning shouldn't be where it currently is either.

He can't throw strikes. They are going to wait til he gets 3-0 and crush a get me over fastball. Matheny needs to go to Miller. There's not even anybody warming up. That's utterly astounding.

 

[Alklha]

Great catch from Beltran. That is our highlight from Game 1.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Oh ****, now Napoli is up.

 

[EastonBlues22]

He can't throw strikes. They are going to wait til he gets 3-0 and crush a get me over fastball. Matheny needs to go to Miller. There's not even anybody warming up. That's utterly astounding.

They've crushed two pitches, the double and this last sac fly. The rest has been bouncers through the infield, a ball that hit the plate and bounced through, infield pop-ups, one soft liner, one short fly-out, and errors.

It should be 0-0 right now with average defensive play.

 

[Celtic Note]

Get Waino out.
