allowing significantly more flyballs than in years past and his line drive rate has never been higher in the big leagues. His strikeout rate also dipped [from 2007 to 2008] by .6 K/9 while his BB/9 rose .25. A BABIP of .275 and a strand rate of 82.5% helped masked some of his disappointing season but there's little reason to think this is the same pitcher who has often dominated the Sox over the past couple of years. ... I don't think there's any reason to be nervous about facing him.MLB:
In the Red Sox's last 12 post-season games (from 2007 ALCS 5 to last night), the starting pitchers have a 1.93 ERA (74.1 IP, 16 ER).The Globe profiles Kazmir. ... Joe Maddon said he's cool with his decisions to give the green light on 3-0 to both Evan Longoria in the sixth and Carlos Pena in the eighth.
The NLCS is off today. Brett Myers of the Phillies is only the fourth pitcher since 1919 to get three hits in a post-season game (and the eighth overall).

Next year at Fenway!

And you guys have a FUNCTIONING democracy.
It'd be rather expensive for me to buy the first round of dirty water as JoS 1, that's for sure.
I'll tell you what makes me happy...these chumps ain't got a Paps.
This is it. I've got my quart of milk by my side, and I'm ready to rally.
Runs please!
Fuck yeah! Starting it off right.
FY! What a game for him.
I call for a meeting at a hotel or something next year. somewhere near the stadium. maybe even in an away team town closer to the middle. someplace were we can all go.
Sweating because of all the drinking and the room will get stuffy. not from exertion beyond the yelling and fist pumping.
FY on for the 4th time -- time to rock and fucking roll.
WE NEED YOU, FLO!!!!
GOTTA LET A FLO BE A FLO
72 pcs of double bubble?
Florence Henderson.
Drivetime Yoga.
ORtiz. ljehgfjhyl;kfysl;dfyulul;hlfdu.
Dumb is contagious.
Now Darling is catching the OR-tiz bug. Fuck you TBS
My mexican wife says that the pronunciation is incorrect
Time to put miller into the earth
in the first or second inning, a tongue-tied morgan called him R-tease.
Buck if you are really a beaner then you should fucking be able to say a spanish name correctly you fucking poser
What is or was or would be more annoying.. ORtiz or Garsh-a-parra?
That was my wife. The inconsolable rage of the Andy is contagious too.
Tizzle's fighting.
Have our outfielders caught a ball yet without "struggling"?
Super X-Ray vision!
What a great at-bat. Holy schnikes.
Miller struggling to get Ortiz out.
YAY -- sox are rockin'
who you got now, four eyes???
No Tim(sosock).
And yesterday Upton almost hit a home run(pop up).
RUNS PLEASE!!!!!!!
I am DRUNKKKKKKK now. my face feels cold. i will not stop until the game is won. If we win I am playing Rock Band tonight. That is the deal i have with my woman.
Wheeler' out, we'll bust 'er up!
1st/2nd, no outs
we better tie this fucker up -- at the very goddamn least.
Next year at Fenway!
Srah - Jewish? :)
Sounds like the traditional RH/YK greeting.
Fuck the wheels
Come the fuck on youkibon
Fuck, youk.
Oh, fuck, Youk.
Bad time to have an atypical at-bat.
TBS is stupid. Their scoreboard said Mid 8th.
Why worry? 2 out Bay is coming up.
okay bay - do your fuckin canuck thingy
Like to see this game at least get tied, Jason.
Lets go Rays!
triple for the cycle??????????
Shit - DP
TBS tells me Bay has 8 2-out RBI this postseason.
TBS i will fucking kill you.
bay v wheeler: 2-for-20, 2 HR
NOOOOO! BAY AVENGE THE SUCK OF YOUK!
Guile?
NAVARROBALLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's one way to tie a game.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!
TIE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!
NO WOOD NEEDED!
NAVARROBALLA!!!!!!!!!
GAME TIED!
Tie it up like a shoe.
Yep. There they are.
The fucking Red Sox! Oh yeah!
NAVARROBALLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More like Wheeler's Wheelhouse.
I love the little underhand throw by Navarro. HAHAHAHAHA.
What kind of idiot underhanded throw was that dinosaur?
More like Wheeler's Wheelhouse.
It's true... Wild pitch.
Oh JoooYY!
FY's 4th run of the night
fuhduhraz
Rock Band here I come. I want to play some drums.
Don't you like the way Youk tricked them into going for that DP allowing Pedroia to get to 3rd knowing that he would score on the passed ball?
TMSAISTI
Navarro is no longer a catcher not because he got too fat... it's because he throws like that.
Crazy WPA graph so far.
Why is Dustin so amped? uppers?
Srah - Jewish? :)
Sounds like the traditional RH/YK greeting
No, but that was my intention.
uppers?
Lifts.
What is that graph measuring?
wtf?!?! HELL YEAH. I get the story 5 minutes after it happened....
I'll take a tie for the moment
Beckett's WPA makes me want to cry.
cliche nail biter
Blech.
Hold the line, pen!
Ok i get the graph. how did they go back to the rays? we are tied.
Masterson better pitch here.
Beckett's last two regular season starts ended up ties with us losing in the extra innings. If this goes beyond nine, I think we are golden. We are the post season Red Sox. Respect.
Bat and Bot warming.
ok who decides the graph? 39% for the Sox? tied game? lots of HR's for us? what the fuck?
andy, the Rays have the advantage of batting last.
Hey DEVIL Rays. You are officially on the ropes. You are at your shitty home field for quite possibly the last time this season. You have already given up home field advantage, and now have blown your "skinny" 1-point lead. Dustin Pedroia has awakened from his nap. You, my friends, are screwed.
against the Rays, I meant.
I want to buy the Jere book. If you talk to him tell him I need to buy this book. I will pay double.
our winning this game will crush the rays and their fans. this is good.
Jesus FUCK that was close.
The home team has about a 55% chance of winning a tied game when it's in late innings. It's about 53% at the start of the game too.
allan we are of one mind.
Dustin Pedroia has awakened from his nap. You, my friends, are screwed.
So true. So true.
ok they have 61% chance now?
Time for my 8th inning nap...
Pedroia the ironic sleeping giant.
WHAT PURE B-S!!
Would have kicked up chalk?
MY GOD!
You could see the mark in the dirt several inches off the line. Close, yes, but not on the line.
IDIOT!
Pretty much, andy. They have an extra half an inning to work with now, remember.
I call double bubble for the next "tradition"
Those lines are painted too, btw
55% i can take but 61%? that implies they are better.
It drops a bunch after the first out of the inning, though.
Yeah and the warning track is still astroturf
Yep, down to 56% now.
Well said, sosock!
I see the 1 out drop. who decides the graph? is it all math?
it is strange to hear the pitch on the radio, mark it on my scorecard, THEN watch it on tv.
I'm only drinking seltzer now. Before I was drinking equal parts two buck chuck and seltzer, which isn't all that bad.
Just doing my usual drive-by comment, as I start watching in the 8th as usual, to say GO SOX! A 2-0 lead would look really good on yas.
I want to have sex with this fan graph thing. it is very real time.
I want to see Papelbon in the 9th. I want to give him something to defend. Just one round little egg of a run for him to protect.
The numbers are from Tango Tiger's work.
It's basically just empirically measuring what percent of games at that state led to which outcome.
Jeemer - shades of 07?
Take a seat, Navarro.
Games like these are what the playoffs are all about. Forgive the cliche, but it's goddamn true.
I will still have sex with the graph.
I used to use fangraphs.com at work instead of GDGD, since my network wouldn't let me install working flash plugins.
Post season Jeemer.
Andy, go leave Jere a note at his blog. I'm sure he'll sort your book lust out.
This is October!
to borrow from the def poetry jam commercial guy

That's hot.
Nice corner job by Oki.
And no, that's not a porno site. I don't think.
Are we going to pinch him JD fucking DREW in the top of the ninth? PLEASE?!?!
Wait? Did they just say "outstanding" about our pen? They do know it's OUR pen they're talking about, not the Rays they love so well?
I seriously hope a lot of parents have their kids up for this game. This is how you get a kid hooked on baseball for life.
Thank you, Oki!
corner job makes me wanna go look at fan graphs
I seriously hope a lot of parents have their kids up for this game. This is how you get a kid hooked on baseball for life.
Yup.
Dear Dad,
THANKS!
Love, Sarah
Playoff Assassin Tito is back!
Drew pinch-hitting for Tek!
Joe Torre is sexy in dodger blue. he was wasted in NY.
You're a lucky lady, Sarah. I had to get into baseball all by my lonesome.
Man, this game. Looks like I picked the wrong night to quit sniffing glue.
I had my 10 minute nap and I'm good to go. Sort of.
David Price warming
Haha, TBS didn't have the highlight ready and left Chip hanging. Good, fuck him.
Swing at one Drew.
Is Tek going to whine about this PH tomorrow?
Aw, turds.
Has tek been whining?
Just get on base, Kotsay. Please, in the name of all that is holy.
He whined about being pinch hit in the ALDS.
Kotsay makes an out. Drink.
Bat warming.
RedSox look worried. Nerves. Why? This is the playoff machine.
It is really astounding...only 4 guys right now have hits, and yet this game is tied.
Tek needs to shut the fuck up. Maybe if he is not an auto out her wont be pinched out.
UPTON GOT FOOOOOOLED.
Holy shit! How the hell did that ball carry in a DOME???
That was Upton playing shallow.
TBS says that ball found another gear. The playoff gear?
That turf warning track should be illegal.
Wow - I was anti-truped on that one. I thought it was much less interesting than it was.
Jacoby if you strike out i will fuck you in the ear.
Upton is not hooked on funix.
Bellsbury, it's 2007 again. Trust me on this. It's '07.
I need to find my playoff gear. I'm dragging right now.
2007
2007
2007
Wow just missed is not where i hang my hat.
Useless.
dammit
Consider yourself earfucked idiot.
Ass clinching time?
Not so much for the fucking Red Sox.
Nope, it's still '08.
l-girl, forgive me for this: Bellsbury has been fucking worthless this series.
Man, I really would like the '07 model Lyndon back.
we win in 10. or 11, etc.
That's it, I'm breaking out the glue. Consider yourself sniffed, glue odors!
This is ours if we can just make it to the 10th.
I'm hoping for 10 myself.
Or I need some serious uppers.
morgan calls masterson "matson" - he's done it many times tonight.
I am so worried about bat in right now
Gee, I fell asleep, and the game is still tied?
matson shipping lines
i worked on those ships during college.
In marches in the unflappable Jamacian Giant...
gdgd says ross is catching
espn radio says cash

I'm going to wash up. You save France.
(2000 Year Old Man, anyone?)
FY has led off 3 innings.
We have scored in all 3 innings.
FY leads off the 10th.
