Red Sox - 011 100 010 000 - 4 15 017 LOB. 3-for-22 with RISP.
Angels - 102 000 100 001 - 5 11 0
Opposites:
Julio Lugo: 5-for-6***
David Ortiz: 0-for-7, 12 LOB
Brad Penny (6.90, 72 ERA+) / Ervin Santana (2008: 3.49, 127 ERA+)
Instead of facing Joe Saunders, we get Santana, who will make his 2009 debut.
Santana was sidelined by a collateral ligament sprain in his right elbow during spring training. David Ortiz is 5-for-9 against Santana: .556/.636/1.111. It's time to get that big bat going.

When Daniel Bard (the bringer of cheese) came out of the pen for his major league debut last night, the Angels had runners men on second and third:
"To be honest with you, I thought there was just a guy on second until the third pitch I threw. Then I looked over and saw Hunter on third. I hope Farrell doesn't see this.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 374 of 374Thanks. Can I get a record for the modern game? 1800s don't count IMO.
What a waste....
Up to Tek....
It was the Orioles.
Those O's existed from 1882-1899
tek RH - can he hit osmething?
Where is your cutoff for a modern game, Laura? I agree 1900s don't count.
Shit, Tek, a pop up?
I mean 1800s. But also 1900s (the decade).
Thanks ump.
Wasted opportunity...
It's not my own cutoff - baseball had very different rules then. It wasn't the same game. I think you have to look after the AL and NL both existed.
AL record in 9, in 1922.
start in 1901 - first year of the Al and the "modern era"
though the NL does go back officially to 1876.
They bringing Ramirez back in? I would think so.
There have been a lot of teams called Orioles, I think. That's why the current Baltimore club took the name.
So 9 is probably the record, but there could be other NL games with 9 or 10, too.
we go extras. That was painless.
9 or 10 triples in a game, that is crazy. You got to wonder about the outfield.
5 pitch OTT
Nice
Five batters, eight pitches?
I don't miss Coco that much.
So MLB defines the modern era as 1901? But lots of rules have changed since then also, most notably the designated hitter rule, of course.
Plus ballparks have changed, balls have changed, etc.
For me, the modern era started the :)
Was the record in the deadball era?
the year I was born. Sorry---I stopped typing too soon.
Comments seem to be coming in all kinds of order.
The 9 game was in Yankee Stadium, back in the true death valley days.
SCORE SEVERAL RUNS
The game is always changing, but even basics were different then. And there were leagues that existed for one year and disappeared, tons of teams everywhere. For consistency, records for the game we watch now begin in 1901.
most triples in one game by one team since 1954 is 5. last done in 1986.
'22 is post deadball
The 1986 Phillies had 5 in one game in 1986.
Link
Wow, Francona tossed.
I could easily read Terry's lips there!
Most triples by one team is 6, done twice in post-deadball era
About damn time, Tito.
My dad seems to think it's an unwritten rule that managers can't argue balls and strikes. I think it's a written rule.
Is it a written rule?
SECRET WEAPON! Would rather have that strike instead of the walk now!
Secret weapon strikes again! He's a fucking hit machine today.
True death valley days, I wish I could have seen the Stadium then.
OH SHIT Lugo in rundown.
Not so hardcore, Slugo!
LUGO 4 for 5!!!
It's a written rule. It's immediate rejection.
Gah
1954: a fine dividing line. The year Harvey was born.
OK, LBJ in scoring position. Let's drive him home.
no BBI to FY?
Actually, it wasn't at Yankee Stadium--it was Yanks at Detroit, 6/17/1922, 6 for Detroit, 3 for the Yanks.
So what was Terry saying? I always wonder what they can say beyond, "That ball was high, you asshole!"
1954 is only as far back as we have reliable PBP info.
Wow, I cannot believe he got that.
fucking torii the annoyii
fuck. I thought maybe Jacoby tags and scores from 2nd but not at all...
Plz to be extricating your head from your ass, Jacoby
My goodness! Jacoby you should be taking notes. Maybe he was!
Well that inning went downhill in a hurry! Damn. Big Papi :(
And now it's up to Papi...again...
Breaking out of the slump would be great here.
Arggh, that is FRUSTRATING.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
"So what was Terry saying?"
I saw "fucking bullshit" and "no fucking way". Getting his money's worth, as they say.
The other AL game with 6 by one team was 9/17/1920, Yanks vs. White Sox at Comiskey.
WHY?!?! Why would you hack at the first fucking pitch?!
Little dribbler up the first base line again for Tiz.
ANd the third 6 (the one in deadball) was Chi/Milwaukee in 1901.
"WHY?!?! Why would you hack at the first fucking pitch?!"
Maybe because you're tired and frustrated, and don't believe you can get a hit today.
Imagine how much it sucks to be Papi right now.
I wouldn't be surprised if this went three or four more innings.
You are a hell of a lip reader! I cannot imagine sweet little Terry saying those things. ;)
0 for 6 for Ortiz.
At this point it's no longer about trying to spark him. He needs the pressure taken off of him somehow. Seriously where do you go with this?
I hope not, Ish, cause I'm really hungry and we haven't even started making dinner. :)
Well, Ish, at least it is early. What time does that other game start? Some kind of hockey game? Or is it basketball.
Just kidding!
Love me some Pedro Ram-Ram dominatrix!
"You are a hell of a lip reader!"
On the Fox feed we have, it was very obvious!
So Lugo is hitting, but still can't field for shit.
I LOVE RAZOR RAMON
I'm sure he's frustrated. And I still believe he's going to break out at the plate sooner or later. But still, that's no reason to abandon patience at the plate.
Pups are hungry too!
You are a hell of a lip reader! I cannot imagine sweet little Terry saying those things. ;) - And those glasses aren't helping his touch guy look, that's for sure!
In other news, Pedro just pitched two OTTs on a total of 13 pitches.
"But still, that's no reason to abandon patience at the plate."
Easy for you to say, sitting at home at your computer. It's got to be more difficult than that - or else everyone would do it.
We have eaten. Dog eats only once. Cats are on demand feeding with food always available.
Ram-Ram is the Man!
Our dogs only eat once, too. And they're waiting impatiently for it right now.
(They get treats for breakfast, but they're waiting for the real meal.)
Ram: 2.2 IP on 16 pitches!
closest abreu has been to a wall in 5 years
MATHISBALLA
Cassie eats in the morning. And gets treats as the day goes along.
Bay on! Now, let's CAPITALIZE.
Free baserunner!
fuck the bunt - hit a double
Ha HA, Bay can't stay off base even when he strikes out.
Funny. Francona gets ejected and Mills has Green try for the scrotum bunt.
DAMN. DAMN.
I read the article about the 1922 game, and FUCK!!!, and, anyway, a few of the triples went to right field. At Tiger Stadium back then, it was 370 to right. The Yanks also thought a catch by Cobb should've been ruled a triple as he caught it among spectators.
Bleh, DP
It feels really weird thinking that Lugo is one of our best hopes for winning this game.
Pedro, MDC, and Bot have combined for a 0.69 ERA so far. That's fucking insane.
Snuffin' Time!! Without the save opportunity.
We should let Mills manage extras more often!
Ooh, Bot in.
Nice
Nice!
fuck yeah!
regular 2B gets that chest high!
Torii Hunter is sure pesky.
pbp guy says hunter is missing only double for cycle.
he doubled in the 3rd. he needs a dong.
idiot.
Papelbon's arsenal looks like crap right now.
Pickoff/CS please?
I like to imagine Tito rushing around, gathering all his things, all while manically shouting instructions to Mills as he scoots down the tunnel, like Terri Garr on the way to her first day of work in Mr. Mom.
"If Velazquez cries, it either means he's thirsty or tired the bottle's in the fridge Put Baldelli down in the twelfth DON'T let him stay up later than that bye!"
Uch, my stomach does not like this situation.
OK, one more strike.
any thought of dealing with rivera instead?
fsn shows scoreboard -- already a 1 in the bottom of the 11th for ;laa...
hey I thought you loved those called Ks, ump
1 is gone now.
will tek decide to elevate????
"fsn shows scoreboard -- already a 1 in the bottom of the 11th for ;laa..."
Donnie Moore.
"1 is gone now."
Donnie Less?
we go 12
Jam escaped.
Score runs please
Hell yeah.
Meanwhile, the Ducks just executed the worst 5-on-3 power play evar. Suck it Anaheim.
Jays walk in a run in the 1st, 1-0 NY
A Tek bloop!
Has Lugo ever had 5 hits in a game before?
That's a start
just got home thinking I missed the game... not over huh!
caught the last 4 pitches of the previous inning.
Kind of amazing that Hunter hasn't scored today.
I thought the comment that Bulger should be on the All Penis Team was the best of the week. Was it L-Girl's?
Lugo has had 5 hits 3 times before.
three times
yeah. 3 times.
LUGO! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THIS GUY!???
4 times now.
why are the sox batting this HIT MACHINE 9th? morons.
IF HE DIDN'T, HE DOES NOW!!!
Damn Lugo, I'm almost speechless.
Good thing this rental has NESN Plus. We did not have it at our house.
fy at the battle of the bulge(r)
Loaded for FY
NESN+ MUCH louder than NESN
Look, a scoring opportunity... Many such opportunities. Come on now. We're hungry here.
When are they switching?
Pedroia can NOT equal Lugo's 5-hit game total today.
What a game! I just finished eating dinner. Homemade fried chicken, roasted red potatoes, homemade cheddar garlic bread, and adult beverages!
Dustin couldn't have just hit a fly ball there? Come on
Damn. Is it time for Papi to start feeling better? Can he get some RBIs now?
Dinner at Chez Ish sounds great tonight.
I just lit the bbq and put the chicken in to marinate, while Allan fed the dogs, and then we both ran back to the TV.
All on Papi.
Again.
2nd GS chance for Papi today
Ish, don't talk food. Allan and Laura are hungry.
Okay Papi, please get us a lead here.
Please
And fried chicken and red potatoes! Only some of my favourite foods! :)
launch one, David
Oh man Ortiz, you can be such a hero here, as you used to be...
the payoff pitch!
I am feeling the pressure for Ortiz.
OMG, we blow another opportunity.
17 LOB ?!?!?
fuck
fuck fuck fuck fuck
and
fuck
the opposite of a launch
Asinine.
David needs some time off.
Brutal fucking inning.
I am glad you started your dinner, Allan and Laura, because we may be here all night.
I bet Tala and Cody are happy also.
Did Papi dig up an Indian burial ground and not tell anyone or something?
Wow...
Well, I can't blame him for not being patient at the plate this time.
my scorecards hold 12 innings; i expect to use a second one this evening.
12 LOB for Ortiz.
winning pitcher: bard?
"Did Papi dig up an Indian burial ground and not tell anyone or something?"
ayuh
Ortiz's WPA is -.547.
Double play would be great here
Angels PBP guy said, when Willitis went out, that Kottaras has had trouble throwing runners out, "there was that game in which Car;l Crawford stole 6 bases".
Jason Varitek caught that entire game.
FAILballscockasspenis in a laundry basket!
Oh, well, we sure blew that one. So many chances...
*sigh*
potable water
Ah, well. Couldn't expect to get too many more chances.
Fun game in its own maddening way.
That game sucked
YOU ABSOLUTE MISERABLE FUCKING PUSSY MOTHERFUCKERS.
EMBARRASSING.
Hockey time!!! And basketball! And hopefully we will forget about this stupid Red Sox result and move on to Seattle.
wasted day.
"Did Papi dig up an Indian burial ground and not tell anyone or something?"
ayuhAre you thinking the Micmacs, too?
"The soal of a man's haht is stoniuh."
I thought it was a fun game too (like Zen). I'm glad I don't take these losses as hard as you guys. That must suck.
No hockey or basketball for me, but on to dinner!
Off to dinner ...
Maybe I missed it searching the thread , but why didn't they have Ellsbury bunt Lugo to third in the 10th?
