2013 ALDS Rays vs. Satan's Team (1 Viewer)

[Premier]

Wow now that's a quick hook.

 

[Vrana]

Terrible decision putting him out there.

 

[Raider Nation]

Good outing, J.

 

[Premier]

Terrible decision putting him out there.

Well yea. But what else can you do. Probably not going to ask Moore to pitch more than 3-4 and Archer has been pretty crappy lately too.

 

[Raider Nation]

 

[Premier]

James Loney is a witch

 

[Michael Brown]

When loney fired down to second, the only thought in my mind was oh crap they're throwing it around the yard again. Wow

 

[rockaction]

On the bean, terrible result. Hate it. And Salty looks like he's scared to even be in the box with how far off of the plate he is.

eta* he hasn't been that far off the plate all year.

Is this one of the first times ever a non injured starting pitcher is removed after only 1 inning pitched and ends up recording a 0 era for the game?

Good lord could Tampa get any more breaks off the bat of Boston today?

wow.

 

[the moops]

James Loney. Jesus

I can't second guess tho Maddon though...

I'm assuming SOMEONE has made a "Maddon Scientist" Tshirt at this point using a pop-art illustration of maddon with his glasses and such, right? Posed kinda like this but in this sorta style.

If I had my pick of any manager in the game I'd probably take him .

 

[Raider Nation]

What would the G5 mound matchup be?

 

[rockaction]

What would the G5 mound matchup be?

Price v. Lester

 

[Michael Brown]

RN, ever the optimist

And the announcers drop "Mad Scientist" on queue

Doesn't gump make shirts and he's a tampa fan?

I noticed that and

 

[rockaction]

Peavy throwing 93? Love it.

if we can get 7IP with 2 or fewer runs out of Peavy we can call it playing with house money IMO.

 

[[icon]]

Christ Peavy... are we seriously pitching around this ####in guy... go after him.

Yes, and I'm on it...

It'll take a while to get thru all the steps, but keep an eye out in Gamen1 of the LCS

"Idea Guy" Cut?

 

[Raider Nation]

Peavy turns a beautiful deuce, doesn't he? So slick.

 

[rockaction]

Knew that was coming. Papi is locked and loaded. No pinch runners, please.

 

[rockaction]

They paid Napoli to hit lefties. Let's see how this goes.

 

[the moops]

that's a nasty pith right there from Moore

at 4th pitcher up in pen in 4th inning with 0 runs scored

Boston taking WAY WAY WAY too many called 3rd strikes this series. Cmon ####ers.... use the lumber.

 

[the moops]

at 4th pitcher up in pen in 4th inning with 0 runs scored

There is tomorrow if they lose. Good for Maddon. Worry about what you are gonna do after Price in game 5 if there is one.

 

[[icon]]

Since this is obviously going 5 games....

Flying out to Vegas tomorrow... already planning on hitting Legasse's Stadium Thursday night for the NFL game. Now I'm gonna have to put money down and watch the deciding game of this series.

That doesn't bode well for me being on the tradeshow floor at 7am the next morning.

Oh I'm not knocking him... I love Maddon. Just awesome to watch him at the controls.

 

[rockaction]

That. Was. Huge.

 

[rockaction]

Now we can pitch around Longoria, like we should have done last night.

 

[Michael Brown]

Obviously he would prefer it if hellickson had been effective. But don't you get the idea that a small part of maddon is completely loving this? Nine innings of strategy? Guy is in his glory!

My one criticism of Maddon is sometimes he wants you to know just how smart and on top of it he is. But that's just ego. He's a great manager, though I dislike him.

 

[rockaction]

Really? Don't like this move for the Rays.

They wouldn't do to Price what they did to Helly tonight. He would get at least 5 innings. After that they could turn it to the pen.

There will be nobody in game 5 that's a better option than Price. Plenty of better options than Hellickson.

 

[Premier]

Really? Don't like this move for the Rays.

I don't love it but Moore had a tender elbow recently and he pitched Friday. And you have Archer available.

I take Maddon's explanation; I just don't like it.

Ellsbury has gotta be the MVP for the Sox. Just quality at-bats, pitch recognition, etc.

He or papi.. for now.

A While back when we heard Ellsbury may be out for postseason that was a foot in the grave IMO.

He's adding a couple million a year to his paycheck with this postseason so far.

When he had that fracture, I thought, "we're going nowhere without him." So valuable.

Ellsbury scoring on anything getting out of the infield IMO. Nobody else I'd rather have at the pate right now either...

 

[rockaction]

Victorino is just banged up. Need a little Pedroia clutch hitting here. Not so much off the plate and lunging.

 

[Premier]

Ball is over the middle of the plate and it hits him.

PSSHT.... that was TOTALLY the Inside corner

Jeter made me want to punch him in the face for that crap over the years.

 

[rockaction]

Great. Maybe our outfield defense can push across a run or two.

 

[[icon]]

Eventually the Rays luck has to run out... right? RIGHT?


Of course not.... it's the magic of the Trop. This one is going to 5 games... you can just feel it. :IBTL:

I actually felt like they wouldn't score any runs when the bases were loaded. Not a good sign.

 

[Premier]

Ortiz should get like half a hit for that.
