LolI thought Jimenez pitched better than the box score will show
I'm OK with that.Osuna looks like he's done for a while, too. Nice advantage for Texas.
Me too, except I'm not sure that Manny's shot has landed yet.Reminded me of the Manny pose after he hit it.
It's the only plausible explanation. Or Buck had an in game stroke.I really really really really really really really hope Britton is healthy and Buch was waiting for the lead. But he's probably hurt.
PedroiaIs this for real? Ubaldo vs. Enrcarnacion????
Bill James once criticized Whitey Herzog for using 5 relief pitchers in a playoff game, saying that when you do this you eventually get to the guy who doesn't have his stuff....From Ubaldo's first pitch it was obvious he had nothing. Wow.
Just like Napoli when Manny hit it into orbit in 2007.Wieters reaction was epic............
He has to be. Otherwise it's one of the most inexplicable things I've ever witnessed. He got lucky they didn't lose in the 9th. I would have gone to Britton in the 9th.Britton has to be hurt, its the only explanation
Why do we think he's hurt? He pitched on SundayI really really really really really really really hope Britton is healthy and Buch was waiting for the lead. But he's probably hurt.
Buck certainly came up snake eyes there for sure.Bill James once criticized Whitey Herzog for using 5 relief pitchers in a playoff game, saying that when you do this you eventually get to the guy who doesn't have his stuff....
Yes but he never came in. Something must have felt REALLY bad for him to get scratched.Was Britton ever warming?
Thanks. So Buck was just waiting for a lead.Yes. He warmed up in the 8th.
I think that quote was originally from -ironically - Earl Weaver's excellent book.Bill James once criticized Whitey Herzog for using 5 relief pitchers in a playoff game, saying that when you do this you eventually get to the guy who doesn't have his stuff....
I watched on Time Warner?Too bad I couldn't watch because tbs doesn't have an agreement with Time Warner.. Fuck this conglomerate assholes.
Watching it now.I wish there was a Rick Dempsey postgame show on now
Because Buck is a freaking managerial genius and would never lost a game without his best pitcher even getting a chance. Though I hope he is fine and then Buck will get skewered.Why do we think he's hurt? He pitched on Sunday
Mind boggling. They just report what happens in front of them and don't question anything. Post game questions it right away. Pedro: "just have to ask Showalter".How has there been no comment on Britton by the announcers?
