vs. RED SOX 6/05

I blame that on JJ and Wieters. You can't throw him that many fastballs in the same ****ing spot.

Bull****.

That's a "we'd like to not get murdered" non call. How could they miss the ball going off that dudes hat?

[notfast]

If you can't 100% be sure that the ball was over the white line, shouldnt you error on the side of not being a HR?? or is that me just being biased

[Flash- bd]

This isn't the umps fault. I don't know why Wieters and Johnson insisted throwing the same pitch 5 times in a row. Really absurd, especially considering the Fenway factor-- if you throw that ball on the inner half of the plate you have to think its MUCH less unlikely that Salamacchia hits one out to RF.

Jeez. Everything has been thrown at this team over the past few weeks.

[brooks1083]

And everyone wants to expand instant replay? Why??

Exactly right. They went to the well one too many times. 1-2 count, waste a pitch.

[allquixotic]

Jim Johnson's ERA went from 0.78 to 1.52 on that pitch.

Next time Jarrod Saltalamacchia comes up to bat against the Orioles, he gets a bruise the size of my fist.

[LA2]

O's have got to pick themselves up now and get JJ a win (eff the save).

...1 of them was a change-up.

Regardless...you have to pitch him inside.

[DrOrioles90210]

I guess I could just believe that Johnson was going to remain perfect on the season, and never have an average performance.

Or you could just believe that he has the same chance of blowing a game every opportunity he has and he wasn't more likely to blow a save because he hadn't in a while.

[Barnaby Graves]

Something tragic happens, everytime you goooooooo...

For some reason I'm not even mad. We're good in extra innings, right?

Agree. 1-2 count, and pitch after pitch down the middle? I don't get it.

[glenn__davis]

Agree with those questioning the pitch call. Salt and ham munchies had had about 4 really good swings in a row at the fastball.
