Overbay you S U C K ! All these runs are scored due to your stupidity. Not to mention that because of your blunder Kuroda has had to throw an extra 30 pitches.
1st & 3rd with one out (Ortiz btw is on 3rd) Ball is hit to Overbay, Ortiz is running & would have been out by a mile had Overbay come home. But instead he went for the double play & threw high to 2nd (safe there) & with a fast runner he was safe on the throw back to 1st. Ortiz scores & everybody is safe. On a play like that a little leaguer would have known to go home first. Total brain freeze by Overbay.
Unbelievable, Yankees need a win today to take the series. I think BUFF is pitching tomorrow and his track record against Boston is not to good.
Those who like Overbay simply have made a decision to lower the bar to rationalize him clearing it. Sorry - the bar has not been lowered, and Overbay is a bum.
It's just been a real strange game as far as the Yankees are concerned. It started with the bad calls and it just seemed to have taken all the air out of the Yankees. I know it shouldn't but it did. If I was Girardi, I would have been tossed on the play at 3B, Now he pulls Gardner, I may have to join Pasta.
Like I said though with a man on third (especially a fat slow man) with less then 2 outs Overbay should know where the ball should go if its hit to him. He's been around the game long enough to know better. This cost us 3 runs. Just no excuse for it.
