Yanks vs. Red Sox - Season Series Thread (2 Viewers)

On a side note, one of my biggest pet peeves is when fans stand and cheer for a pitcher after an awful performance. I'm not saying the home crowd has to boo, but what exactly are you cheering for? The guy looked as bad as a pitcher could have and appeared to just give up this inning, soooooo let's stand and give him an ovation! :confused:
They cheered him because he's a dirty SOB who plunked every Yankee in the batting order.That's the loser mentality those fans have.

You beat us by 20??? No big deal. At least we hit JEEEETA with a wicked good fastball....

Hey Murph, pass me another Sam Adams. :banned: :banned: :banned:
Your shtick is awful. Bu at least you are somewhat funny.
Not even kidding. I've been to Fenway maybe 50-60 times in my life. Bloodthirsty savages, I tell ya.

Was at last night's game. Sat one row down and a few seats removed from Murph and his 3 sons, all in the 6-9 age range. Those dirty kids had the whole Boston shtick going, cursing out Cano as a "#####" when he left the game, cheering when Jeter got plunked, etc. Dad just sat back and smiled the whole game, proud of his little rugrats.Boston raises their kids to be ##### bags at a very early age. I think it's just in the soiled water here and, thus, in their DNA to be the worst fans in baseball.

 
Same old crap by the Sawx..."we're losing, time to hit some Yankees." Of course, if Joba buries one between Youkilis' #'s we'll here the Whiny Tool Nation talk about how dirty a player he is. Takes one to know one, I guess.

 
I just watched the recap. You honestly think Beckett hit those guys on purpose? The Cano hit by pitch looked like a splitter or something. It was still just 5-1 when he hit Jeter, with the bases loaded. Not sure any pitchers intentionally hit someone to walk in a run.

Beckett apparently sucks now, for some reason. He looked to be all over the place after the 3rd inning. He almost pegged Cervelli too, with the bases loaded.

No way any of those were purposeful beanings. He simply had no command during the 5th. It was strange...he was dealing and really in control through the 4th.Not sure why any Yankee fan would/should be upset about this and demand retaliation. Save it for when it means something. Getting back at a team because their pitcher from the prior day stunk it up en route to a 10-3 victory makes absolutely no sense.

Umm the Yankees themselves were pretty angry about the beanings too.

Well, I'd be annoyed too about getting hit. But, they all agreed it wasn't intentional. If CC starts aiming fastballs at the Sox hitters today, it would be unnecessary and stupid. This is a .500 team we're playing against. There are bigger fish to fry. They (along with outraged Yankee fans) need to get over it and keep focusing on the task at hand. There's simply no sense in escalating anything when there isn't an issue in the first place.

C.C. was one of the guys on the top step yelling at Beckett. Retaliation is almost certain.Cano is out of the lineup because his knee blew up after the beaning. I wouldn't want to be Pedroia or Youk today. They should wear full body armor to the plate. But watching them charge the mound will be worth the price of admission.

Well, if it comes to this, so be it. I prefer to watch baseball when I'm watching baseball, whereas I like watching UFC when it's in the octagon. Just because Cano's out doesn't necessitate retaliation. Beckett had nothing yesterday, and it wasn't intentional. But, I suppose if we want to stoop down a level and start intentionally beaning guys because the Sox suck, there's not much that can be done except to sit back, watch, and hope no more of our guys gets hurt from escalating this b.s. that's really being fabricated out of thin air.

C'mon cobalt... you didn't start watching baseball yesterday. You know how life works.Intentional or not, it's not acceptable to let everyone know that hitting multiple batters on your team is a-okay. Plus, C.C. has shown, wherever he's been, that he'll have his teammates' backs in situations like this. I'd be more shocked if he DIDN'T hit someone today.

I hope Buchholz beans someone first and both teams get a warning.

That actually crossed my mind, but you know what? C.C. would still throw at someone. Principle trumps individual game results.

haha that would suck
 
Beltre all stick, no glove lol
<_< Beltre has been one massive bag of sucktitude.
If people were seriously calling this guy the greatest defensive 3rd baseman ever, Beltre is seriously the most overrated 3rd baseman ever. I believe Mr James and his defensive ratings system needs a little adjusting.
Did you see what LT did last year? How did people ever call him one of the best rb's? He sucks!Maybe Adrian has also fallen off a cliff at the age of 30. Sucking now doesn't mean he wasn't exceptional in his prime.
 
Well we suuuuure showed them.
Why is it yesterday Beckett was all out of sorts and didnt hit any Yanks intentionally but then CC hits Pedroia, then allows a HR, then gives up a 4 pitch walk but it was he intentionally his Pedroia?
You're not seriously arguing that CC just...oops...accidentally hit Pedroia, are you? Anyway, your question suggests you probably didn't watch the game. First, there was no situational reason for Beckett to hit any of the guys. It was a close game, and there wasn't anything that had gone on between the lines to piss anybody off. It was pretty clean up to that point. On Cano's AB, he was struck in the knee, which isn't a typical target to hit a guy. I was sitting right behind the on-deck circle 1B side, and it was clear just from where he was hit and Beckett's reaction that it was a pitch that got away. Jeter was hit with the bases loaded, so that doesn't make any sense for it to be intentional.CC drilled a 98 mph fastball right square into Pedroia. Given all the bluster you were making about this, that it was bound to happen, it's pretty ridiculous that you'd play stupid all of a sudden and suggest it was all an accident. Anyway, water under the bridge, thankfully (hopefully) given the score right now. But, at the time, it was totally unnecessary.

Why not? I dont think it was as obvious as you and McCarver are making it out to be. As a matter of fact the ump didnt even give a warning so I guess he agrees with me. Im just saying the same exact situations surrounded both of them. Beckett was extremely wild in that inning and hit many Yankees. CC was extremely wild in todays game during that inning (gave up a HR to McDonald, a HBP to Pedroia, a HR to VMart, and a 4 pitch walk to the next batter) yet its a fact that he purposely hit Pedroia? Thats all Im saying.As far as last night how can you say there was no situational reason to hit Cano? He had ARod on 2B and an empty base. No reason to pitch to Cano in that at-bat. Plus you could clearly see Beckett smirking after hitting him. Maybe you were at the game but I bet you didnt see that reaction from where you were sitting.

BTW Im not saying Beckett hit Cano on purpose and it wouldnt surprise me if CC intentionally threw at Dustin Im just saying I think it was despicable how biased McCarver sounded as if it was obvious Beckett didnt hit Cano on purpose and it was obvious CC hit Dustin on purpose because I dont think either can be said definitively.

Nope. Didn't see the "smirk" you just referenced until now. I suppose we disagree that it was a smirk at all. Anyway, sure 1B was open, but I'd be interested in knowing why he would hit him even at all. On the 2nd pitch. With a cutter. In the knee. Didn't make any sense then, and it certainly doesn't make any sense now.CC wasn't wild in that inning; he was off on one batter. He threw 2 pitches (2 strikes) to McDonald, threw one pitch right where he wanted to square into Pedroia, induced a full count flyout to Scutaro, and threw another 4 strikes to VMart, before issuing the walk.

These are not the same thing.

If Beckett was throwing at Cano, Cervelli and Jeter he's a ****ing moron. I don't put it past a professional athlete to be a ****ing moron, especially a pitcher like Josh, but I guess it's possible. Tempers run high and he did stare Cervelli down for having the audacity to call timeout on him. Still, he's a putz of the highest order if it was on purpose.

Having said that, I have no problem with CC hitting Pedroia as a result of what happened yesterday. No problem, that is, if the situation is such that a base runner can't really hurt you. In a close game with the heart of the lineup coming up you don't do it. The timing of it was frackin stupid.

So overall, one pitcher was either losing every bit of his command or he was a ****ing moron, and the other one would have been ok if he didn't forget that you can actually have a problem when the go ahead run is coming up and it happens to be the heart of the order.

Seems to me that, in the end, more of these players - and especially the announcers - need a lesson in situational baseball. :thumbup:

I understand Boston is full of meathead fans, but do they have so little dignity and self-respect that they reduce themselves to doing the effing wave?

Of course, this does come from the same fans that think "Sweet Caroline" is reason to get up all giddy like schoolgirls and sing along, so I suppose it's appropriate, but still...

 
Nice of Girardi to put CC in there to get the last out of the inning to vie for the W.Oh wait... :wall:
I have absolutely no problem with C.C. not going back out there. In fact, I completely expected he would not return. Big picture, man. One win is not as important as preventing muscle strains. He's not exactly in the best shape.

True that. While we got drenched in a hurry (I live 1/2 mile from Fenway and got soaked on the 1 block walk from the car to the apt right as the rains came), it's a shame he didn't get a chance to finish out the inning before the delay.

CC DID have a chance to finish out the inning. Instead, he sat and stared at the ump with 2 strikes and 2 outs seemingly waiting for the game to be called.

Good game by the Sox tonight.Pinhead A.J. has a serious mental block at this ballpark.
Not to mention it was cold as balls out there.
Cold as balls :confused: Really?
Yeah, I know. Some nonsensical idiom I made up there. Whatever the case, it was really, really uncomfortable. Almost intolerable, particularly in light of what a perfect night it was on Friday.

It was probably cold for Lester also.
