Around SBN: 2011 In Extreme Home Runs

Game 112 Overflow Thread #2

Ron_swanson_tiny by Ian Casselberry on

We're currently waiting out a rain delay in the seventh inning.  Nothing like making a long night longer.  This is totally killing any adrenaline buzz that THE FIGHT created. 

On the bright side, this should take Chris "Batting Practice" Lambert out of the game.  On the downside, the guy who came in for Kevin Youkilis has hit two home runs for the Red Sox.  Weren't you supposed to be hurt, Mike Lowell?

Red Sox 6, Tigers 3, as we wait to see if this game will resume.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Bless You Boys writing staff.

Basically, Keith Law is saying that the umpires are to blame for this.

And Porcello shouldn’t have been ejected.

Looking at the radar...

…it does NOT look as though this rain’s gonna go on all night. And I know it seems like the Red Sox have an eleven-run lead or something, but it IS only 6-3. It’s starting to get a bit on the late side for a comeback, though.

So, just to make things clear...

Was Porcello ejected for throwing at Kevin Youkilis or for fighting with him? Because from the look of that YouTube video, he looked more like he was trying to defend himself than anything else.

He could have charged Edwin Jackson last night, but I guess he decides to charge a 20 year old kid who weighs nothing instead. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think he ever charged Joba (another big guy like Jackson) even though he threw at him multiple times.

This may sound negative...

but it’s from someone who has traveled for 16 hours today. I love the fact that Rick stood up for his teammates. But to risk being tossed in a game this big is just awful. We had to have this win. Porcello gets tossed, likely suspended. We just our third starter for a minimum of two outings. I love the spirit, but boy, his timing was horrible.

Plus, we’re playing in a park that screams out for home runs to be hit. How many have we hit in two days off of pitchers screaming out to give up home runs? Zero.

Beckett throws tomorrow. Yikes. Lotsa heat on JV for Thursday.

Tonight was one bad night for this team.

Was too, just didn't see it.

And KLaw said this – “the crew’s decision to toss Porcello after he hit one batter with a three-run lead and no warning in effect was incompetence at best and cowing to a hostile Fenway crowd at worst.”. But if it was seen, then I guess he did.

Well, it'll give him an opportunity to prove to me that he's not injured...

…although the problem with Galarraga is that even when he’s in form, his success lies in getting hitters to swing at stuff out of the strike zone, and the Red Sox just don’t do that.

I gotta think with Porcello going out early

Armando has to start, can’t afford another spot starter now. I guess we’ll see if CWS pick up ground.

if he feels better. Wouldn’t it be great if they pushed JV up a day because Armando is still under the weather.

by kendra.michelle on Aug 12, 2009 12:48 AM EDT up reply actions  

That's why I maintain that hitting Youkilis in the second inning was kind of a big lapse in judgement.

If he wants to hit him, wait until later in the game when the the bullpen is set up a little bit better.

by SabreRoseTiger on Aug 12, 2009 1:10 AM EDT up reply actions  

It wasn't intentional

at least that’s what Beck is reporting. And I believe it. I mean, he’s not an idiot, it would’ve made no sense for him to do that on purpose.

by kendra.michelle on Aug 12, 2009 1:12 AM EDT up reply actions  

The fact that he threw a pitch way inside to Victor Martinez would support that argument...

…and he’s probably telling the truth, but at the same time, you’re not gonna ’fess up to hitting someone intentionally.
