JUNE 28TH BOSTON RED SOX VS NEW YORK YANKEES SATURDAY NIGHT GAME THREAD

Thank you.

 

Yep, Napoli needs some chin music, and a free pass to 1st base....or a plunk....

Tho' Shrek is not the Yankee Killer he used to be as a Roider, I'd plunk him just for shids and grins, .... I'm tired of hearing his big mouth, and antics, put him on the DL, with swollen balls....!!! Remove him from the game....! (no throwing at the head tho'.)

 

9th inning 1 to 1 yeah, game on the line. With all due respect Vic, I'm afraid you're alone on this one.

 

...no, he's not.

...and I'm not at all surprised by the obligatory blame game.

 

Jesus tap dancing Christ, AGAIN! think NL, you walk the #8 hitter (especially if you know he can hurt you) to get to the pitcher which is basically what you have with the 125 hitting Drew. Your love for Girardi is mind boggling, I don't know if you're related to him or you're just a bad judge of the game. It's not rocket science just plain fucking common sense.

But again, this is not all on Girardi so I'm not pointing the finger just at him, this offense is just pathetic. BLAME GAME? Human nature. We don't have exclusive rights to that. Everyone does it. And believe me there's more then enough blame to go around for this poor excuse of a team.

You & I are on different ends when it comes to Girardi, You say I'm stepping on his nuts while you seem to polish the mans shoes. The guy just makes more bad decisions than any manager I've ever seen. (And no I won't list them all). But again, he can't hit for everyone, that's on the players. So enough BLAME to go around. Hell I won't even mention that for the second time this week he started Soriano over Ichiro even though the latter had superior numbers against the opposing pitcher. Oh wait.

 

Vic there was a base open FIRST! but hey, Tanaka himself is not without blame either. Napoli in a very unprofessional manner called Tanaka an idiot for throwing him a fastball & he was right. He got Napoli out the two previous times on spliters & on 1-2 count you shake off McCann twice and throw a grapefruit size fastball over the heart of the plate. DUMB! really dumb. With the count 1 & 2 you have to make him chase one or two out of the zone. Rookie mistake but costly.

 

No its NOT the point, I never said or even implied that he should have been walked because of a bad pitch selection, I said he should have been walked right from the start. PERIOD! God I hate repeating myself but WHY would you pitch to a good hitter with power that has hurt you in the past with 1st base open in the 9th inning instead of going after a guy who hitting 125 has been 1 for his last 32 & couldn't hit the water if he jumped out of a boat in the middle of the f'king ocean?

 

Wait....what? NOBODY? So all the times I've seen it done it was just my imagination? Holy shit, Okay I give up.

 

You obviously missed the part of one of my previous posts where I VERY CLEARLY said that this loss was NOT all on Girardi. It was just IMO and several others an error on his part to pitch to someone who could & has hurt you as opposed to someone who couldn't. Simple logic.

And you're right, I should give up on this. HEAD.......meet wall.

 

C'mon Vic you're better then this. Please stop. This is getting boarder line comical now. The situation didn't call for him to be walked his other times up. It wasn't the 9th inning with the game on the line. Did this REALLY need to be explained this much. Un-fucking-believable. Let it go.

 

...yes, we are on opposite ends with respect to Girardi...hate him all you want, though I can't really understand why...and every time you bring up this "idiot" shit I'll get on you about it...he may not be the best manager in the game but he's certainly not the worst and he's certainly not an "idiot". And sorry, but playing the "name game" AFTER the fact, is not "human nature"...it's a human flaw.

...if you seriously think the proper move last night was to walk Napoli, you're off your rocker...Tanaka shook off McCann twice, insisted on throwing a FB when he shouldn't have, and threw it in a spot he shouldn't have...he made a mistake, and Napoli hit it...good hitters do that.

...your blind shameless disdain for Joe leads you making absurd statements...you get called on it, then you change your tune or soften your stance just as you did in this thread and others as well.

 

...that's very much a 2-way street, rick. You might try taking your own advice.
