Trouble for both starters all game, lots of men on base for the Rays, but 3 double plays have killed them in the 1st, 7th, and 8th.
Red Sox jumping on Price first pitches, some good ABs, two solo home runs by Ortiz, one in the first to make it 2-0, the other in the eighth to make it 7-4.
Ellsbury on base three times -- two dunkers and a line drive -- and he has scored three runs. Pedroia two RBI's -- one on a double and one on a sac fly in the first.
Rays didn't have much trouble with Lackey, but weren't able to get many big hits. Biggest hit was James Loney's double, which came with two out and men on first and third, cutting a 5-1 defecit to about 5-3 in the 4th or 5th.
Escobar and Young have given the Red Sox fits. I think they've combined for four or five hits so far.

Great play by Loney, actually. That would have been a triple.

I wouldn't pitch to Ortiz. I'd just pitch around him. Whoops. Smoltz just said that.

Makes no sense. That's one of the best hitters in the game.
I love Maddon's shift.

Sox pen is now the issue in this game. Going to have to go there a bit early.

Guess I'm not Prospecting or Fangraphing well enough (used to love both sites) but that might be a lot of Uehara in there. The sort of talk around Boston is the problem with the bridge to the closer.
eta* You might be right, I'm just parroting what the local broadcast has been worried about for months.

I can't believe they haven't learned with Longoria. Insane.

Listening to EEI will drive you nuts. If papi goes hitless in a game they'll dedicate 2 hours to talking about his decline and if they're hiding a potential injury. I used to stream Boston radio a while back but had to give it up. Maddening.Guess I'm not Prospecting or Fangraphing well enough (used to love both sites) but that might be a lot of Uehara in there.

No excuse for giving Longoria anything to hit there. Buchholz falling apart right now. Time to get it going in the pen

Also adding that I may be in the minority but it's a damn embarrassment to the game of baseball that Tampa allows those damn cowbells. Say what you will about Boston fans but if some jackass brought a cowbell into fenway they'd be given a colonoscopy with it before the first inning was over

Heh. No EEI -- I only listen to them when I want to laugh at the Patriot homer coverage (today they insisted they'd take the Pats over Denver) -- more like NESN. I like their pen if they use Workman, etc. But it's still early, and the strength is their starting pitching, I think.Listening to EEI will drive you nuts.

Regardless, if you told me we'd be tied through five and up 2-0 in the series, I'd take it.

Nice move by Maddon to flip Nava and Saltalamacchia.

Indeed. Tampa always scares me. Lot of young talent that matches up well against boston and Maddon is arguably the best manager in the game.

All good. This is really the first chance I've had time to gamechat™ this postseason. Happen to be home and on the laptop doing some web updates for a buddy.
EDIT: Wow... Clay was not getting that corner 2 innings ago

Oh yea that definitely wouldn't happen at Fenway or anything. Those fans cum their pants off fly balls to center.

I'll take a link to the last time someone got (and accepted) a curtain call in the 5th inning for anything, let alone something that didn't involve taking the lead or a historical milestone. I'll hang up and listen.Oh yea that definitely wouldn't happen at Fenway or anything. Those fans cum their pants off fly balls to center.
You can wait till the end of the game though so you don't have to put down your cowbell

Went back frame by frame on DVR... looks like the tip of the glove barely caught him as his hand was about 1-2" from the bag. I think they had him but frame by frame it was actually closer than it looks at full speed. Bad call though.

They really don't weaken their defense. Nava isn't that great of an outfielder.

3-run homer to tie a playoff game isn't a big moment and deserves a curtain call?

later in the game, maybe... unless you've got a cowbell. Then anytime's the right time for a curtain call!
