Close enough.

I still have my thoughts about that HR call.

AdamJoshua · 10-09-2013, 07:41 AM

Hey Garry so does everyone for good or ill, look at the Sox game the other night and the #*#&ing "ring" above home plate, guy pops up, it hits a speaker but comes straight down and is caught but they say its not an out guy get's on base eventually, then someone that wouldn't have been up that inning hits a 3 run bomb. At least that call wasn't the direct cause of the loss, let's face it things got pretty sloppy.

Tom if it is the Tiggers...

And it did so in foul territory so BY RULE, it's a foul ball.

It seems you complain about everything that doesn't go in favor of the Redsox.

Just sayin'

It was over home plate, don't care where it fell it was CAUGHT by the catcher and was ruled a dead ball, actually was ruled dead after he caught it even. Seems that you like to pick at me about everything even if you aren't sure what's going on.

Just sayin'

What makes you think I don't know what's going on? I watched the game, too. Rules apply to all teams. Even your beloved Red Sox.

Stop yer whining. I call em like I see em. Besides, if you're willing to talk $hit, you've got to be willing to take some.

Me too....I thought it was awesome.

On a serious note....4 camera angles, outfielder never had a shot, it was past time a foot over his glove. Umpires, commentators and analysts agreed with me. But it's moot...it's all about Game 5 now, Garry.

Sweet....I LOVE Game 6s in Boston!

CigarSquid · 10-09-2013, 07:47 AM

I hear ya Adam. I think sometimes it is better to not use the replay then. A's had opportunity to score, but, I feel that had a big impact on the game.

HR call was close. Given the trajectory it was going over the yellow line and it didn't appear Reddick was going to get it. However, with the fan touching the ball now we'll never know. It would have changed the game if reversed but not necessarily the outcome.

I was amazed Leyland left Sherzer in with the bases loaded and nobody out. He definitely came through. That said, I can't believe he put Max in at all. He's been pretty adamant about NOT moving starters up. I think Verlander's showing in game 2 and the fact he'll be fully rested for game 5 greatly influenced that decision.

Speaking of game 5. I'd really like to see V-Mart catch, Miggy DH, Peralta play 3rd, and preferrably Dirks in LF. Avila hasn't hit and Miggy's hurting too much to be effective defensively. Plus, there's a TON of foul territory to cover in LF in Oakland that I know Jhonny can't cover. This could result in the A's trying to run more on V-Mart but I'd take that risk vs a weak fielding 3B and LF. Just my

BTW Go Tigers!!!

357 · 10-09-2013, 09:03 AM

Tom, what do you think about DH'ing Miggy?

And do what with VMart, Mike? He's got the hottest bat right now.

Start V-Mart at catcher, Peralta at 3B, Dirks in LF.

On a more serious note, after much speculation and reported pursuit by the Cubbies and Gnats, Joe Girardi has signed a 4-year extension with the Yankees.

And yes, this is more serious than actual post-season games because . . . well, because it is the Yankees.

I'd be thinking that way too if I were a Padres fan.

I dunno, Dirks in, Avila out? I'm torn, Mike.

Hoping not to have to hear anything more about the Yankess until April, unless it's that some of their players are headed to prison.
