vs. RED SOX, 4/13

[LocoChris]

Look at the difference at Tillman's delivery now vs 2014. Night and day. Much more compact.

Or maybe he actually agreed to give Tillman a shot and was just wrong.  It seems like every time a decision goes wrong, there are some who then say well, that was not Dan...that was the owner, or Brady, or Buck...or Boog..(I was running out of Bs)..either way, since I don’t like to parse it,in my book,  the guy with the GM after his name and getting the paycheck for it gets the blame for personnel. 

You do understand Angelos runs things.

They said the rule is like if it gets lodged under the padding in the OF. As long as a fielder can get the ball out, it's considered a live ball.

The fielder can always get the ball out if they try.

The original is too sharp edged for me.  The British love excruciatingly uncomfortable situations.....or at least watching them on TV.

I watched it before they did the American version, so I was spoiled by it.

What is not irrelevant is that our veteran centerfielder failed to run out the ball.  He slow-jogged to first and halfway to second before belatedly realizing the ball was in play.  Definitely cost a run due to lazy baserunning. 

Of course. I just think the umps missed this. The ball was sitting behind the tarp not moving. At that point it should be dead.

Davis shouldn’t be starting against lefties. Is Santander hurt?  Why isn’t he playing?

Doghouse for missing the cutoff man the other night?

Fear of putting him in the spacious RF at Fenway or having to play the Monster in LF?

Obsessive devotion to Chris Davis?

Cross off Boston for Manny?

Not lazy, more mistaken... he thought that the ball was out of play.  He was running until the ball rebounded into the tarp, then slowed up.

Either way, Betts had no issues getting the ball.

The BBC version of the office is awful.

And that ball was out of play imo.

Didn't Buck blame MLB and their slippery balls for the Santander overthrow?

I almost forgot. They hate Manny. Because he spiked Pedroia, on purpose. The bastard!

Plus they don't like Yankees so....

Maybe so.  But if you don't know, you go.

I think Devers and Boegarts are too good for them to really want Manny.
