Red Sox Nation -Check In - Page 27

Farrell is in over his head..interference could be called the other way it shows the guy pushing down on WMB?

AdamJoshua · 10-26-2013, 10:36 PM

and yet what's it matter XB should have been at 3rd the entire time anyway, it's a opinion call, he thinks one of the slowest guys on the team with a bum ankle would have scored so that's that, if salty is catching again in this series, as a fan i will be severely let down, it's time to give Ross the due he's earned in the postseason.

Missed the ending, watching MLB.TV now, so do Red Sox fans think the call was wrong? I haven't seen enough to form an opinion.

At the time I saw it, yes. Haven't re-watched it today, but I was also half bottle of wine and two Guinness's state-of-mind at the neighborhood Irish bar.

As an unbiased observer (I hate both teams

) I think the call was the right one. Nobody's first move to get up when they're lying flat on their stomach is to kick their legs up in the air.

AdamJoshua · 10-27-2013, 12:12 AM

It's a judgement call on the umps part whether or not Craig could have scored if he didn't push down on middlebrooks and then trip over him. It is interesting according to the rule once a player has missed a ball he is no longer in pursuit of it and if he is in the way it's interference, so basically if there is a play like that and you just trip or run into the guy, you are automatically safe at home no matter what, seems like originally it was to keep 3rd basemen from slowing down runners on purpose but they made it to where basically it doesn't matter what the instance is. That's the rule nothing you can do about it, you just rarely see it and it figures mr. Jim "sorry I suck and you don't get a perfect game" Joyce was the one to make the call, so now I guess he doesn't spend the night in Detroit OR Boston. lol

As I said I am more upset with the game that John Farrell 'played', so many bad moves in one game. I think that's the worst part, the one guy that should have not started or at least should have been replaced was the one left in the game to K badly a couple of times and throw the ball away at the end to cost the game.

Bruins Fan · 10-27-2013, 05:05 AM

Taking nothing away from the Cards they are playing great.
Bottom line for me is the ineptitude of the Sox manager, for the moves or lack of.
Saltalamacchia..makes two throws in two games that cost the team a chance to win?

Blueface · 10-27-2013, 05:52 AM

The call was lousy if you are a Red Sox fan.
It was proper if a Cardinals fan.

As a fan of neither, I think it was a proper call.

As far as Farrell goes, come on guys. You weren't complaining when a first year manager took the team to the World Series. Why now?
Live by the sword, die by it.

kelmac07 · 10-27-2013, 09:43 AM

Tough loss for the Sox last night.

AdamJoshua · 10-27-2013, 10:08 AM

I thought the call was the right one too, well "by the book" the only problem is they showed another angle of the play and craig was already tripping before he got to middlebrooks, put out his hand, pushed middlebrooks back down then tripped over him. Sooo while i didn't have a problem before I sort of have one now, not that it matters, the game is over and it's time to play the next one.

He didn't trip over his legs, if you watch the video and even the umpires said that.

He actually started going down before he got to middlebrooks in the video, then gimped his way down the line at a brisk walking pace that you see old people use in the mall, haha

Stephen · 10-27-2013, 10:24 AM

Lost in all the controversy is the nice play by Pedroia to set things in motion.

I didn't say anything about tripping in my post.

Yeah, he wasn't on his giddyup that's for sure.

AdamJoshua · 10-27-2013, 12:25 PM

No but this sure seemed to be you pointing that way, if you weren't my bad.

I think part of the issue was when he was pushing himself up Craig used his body to push off and that pushed him back down. He at least ump is making a name for himself, screwed a player out of a perfect game and then this in the world series, he should write a book

Nah, just an added obstacle for Craig to get through/around. Actually thought it was a smart move by Middlebrooks. Unfortunately for Sox nation, got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak.

AdamJoshua · 10-27-2013, 09:53 PM

KOJI!!!!!!!!! Shocked everyone! Hey we didn't give away this game with errors!

Bruins Fan · 10-27-2013, 09:55 PM

Momentum swings back to Sox!!

AdamJoshua · 10-27-2013, 09:58 PM

No reason for Shittalamacia to get off the bench the rest of the season. If it wasn't for his errors to end the two loses..........

*knocks on wood*

Love Papi calling a huddle in the dugout and talking to the team telling them to lighten up, you don't get to the world series every day you have to enjoy it, loosen up and have some fun and play ball.

Holy **** he's hitting .727 in the World Series through 4 games.

*knocks on wood*

Bruins Fan · 10-28-2013, 09:04 PM

Nice job by the big lefty

I like our chances at home Fenway will be rocking

AdamJoshua · 10-28-2013, 09:09 PM

Wow a chance to win the World Series in Fenway park for the first time since 1918. That place is going to be crazy for the games. *knocks on wood*

kelmac07 · 10-29-2013, 05:33 AM

Nice win for the Red Sox. Lester looks amazing this series.
