G41: Red Sox 8, Orioles 7 

Orioles - 201 021 100 - 7 10  2
Red Sox - 000 005 102 - 8 15  0
It was like a doubleheader. In Game 1, Matsuzaka was demoralizing (4.1-5-5-7-2, 106) while Tillman handcuffed the Sox (5-5-0-3-2, 88). In the middle of the sixth, Baltimore led 6-0.

Then Buck Showalter went to his bullpen and Game 2 began.

The Red Sox immediately torched three relievers for five runs, closed the gap to one run again in the seventh, and, after wasting a prime scoring opportunity in the eighth, won the game when Adrian Gonzalez drove a two-run double off the Wall with one out in the bottom of the ninth.

Deep down in Florida, the Rays beat the Yankees 6-5, so Boston (21-20) is now in a three-team tie for second place with Toronto (21-20) and New York (20-19).

Red Sox 6th: Orioles 6-0, M Gonzalez pitching. Drew singled, took second on LF error. Lowrie doubled, 1-6. Crawford safe on 3B error. Varitek singled (7 pitches), 2-6. Ellsbury lined out to LF. Accardo pitching. Pedroia flied out to CF. Gonzalez singled, 3-6. Youkilis doubled, 5-6. Rapada pitching. Ortiz walked. Drew grounded out to 2B.

Red Sox 7th: Orioles 7-5, Johnson pitching. Lowrie tripled (8 pitches). Crawford K. Varitek singled, 6-7. Ellsbury singled. Pedroia lined out to LF. Gonzalez K.

Red Sox 8th: Orioles 7-6, Uehara pitching. Youkilis doubled. Ortiz grounded out to 2B. Drew BBI. Lowrie K. Crawford popped out to 2B.

Red Sox 9th: Orioles 7-6, Gregg pitching. Varitek flied out to LF. Ellsbury singled. Ellsbury stole second. Pedroia walked (9 pitches). Gonzalez doubled, 8-7.


Example
Chris Tillman / Daisuke Matsuzaka

And now ... how about one game over .500, please!

Jerry Remy will be on NESN for the first time since April 26.

Only one Red Sock has more than two plate appearances against Tillman. Carl Crawford is 6-for-12, with a double and two triples. Here is what the Os have done against Dice.

AL East: Yankees/Rays at 6:30 PM and Blue Jays/Tigers at 7 PM.

    BTW I've been watching the games in silence, lurking some of the threads. I saw your comments about friday's game - totally unacceptable. I realize they want to ram as much advertising down our throats as possible, but for fuck sakes show the game when its ON!

    I fear that its going to get to the point where there's going to be a tiered system, where its like 15 bucks for MLB Audio with ads during 50% of the game, and like 60 bucks for "MLB PREMIUM AUDIO" so you can hear the game without ads.

    Fuck greed.

    You know I agree! But I think the EEI thing was a production fuckup. When the commercials ended, Castig was talking in mid-sentence, the inning was going on as if nothing had happened. The guys in the booth clearly didn't know anything about it.

  83. JereMay 16, 2011 at 6:12 PM

    We've definitely proven several times now that some people watching NESN can see pitches that others miss due to commercials. So it has to do with the individual providers. I'm guessing they each have their own automated systems, which often fuck up.

    I've had local ads "accidentally" pop up during the action, and once they start, you know they're gonna run their course and that you ARE missing pitches. A horrible feeling.

    But ultimately NESN should be held responsible--they should make all the providers they work with get it right, it shouldn't be up to us to tell them all how to do their jobs.

    oh please.

    saying the game is out of reach means that with the score as it currently is means that the red sox cannot come back - the other's teams run total is out of reach -- meaning that the game should be considered a loss.

    with the way the sox have come back in so many games in recent years, down by five runs with five innings to go does not = a loss.

    "Usually it's a strip club commercial in Providence, I've found."

    Club Fantasies. Or whatever. Seen that one, too. (By the way, I rewound my DVR and recorded the missed HR--when they got back from the Rib House, the guy was between third and home. I will YouTube it. And if NESN complains and says "you can't show our home runs," I'll say "what home run???")
