Just an all-around criminal job by the worst umpire in the game. Why would we ever PH for Varitek? I mean, what if we PH for him, and it goes to extras, and vic martinez gets eaten by dinosaurs? We'd have to use the emergency catcher. -FenwayTheHardWay

If Tek started in a post season game with a healthy Salty on the bench that would be more than annoying. It would be criminal.

Bases loaded Top 7th you're up 4-3 and can go for the jugular. They bring in a righty to replace Dumatrait. Because Gardenhire knows Lowrie is a weak hitter from that side of the plate. You use Reddick there, not against a tough lefty with nobody on base. Terrible use of assets. Scutaro can go in to play SS. Still have Aviles and Salty on the bench. Can't say he doesn't want to use it up. Awful.

But to carry on a little, who pinch hits for a guy that went 2/3 with a HR with the bases loaded and a same-handed pitcher on the mound? Also, other than 12 billion man games missed by our starting nine, the difference between this year and last (in wins, not ability), is blown saves: 4 by our top 3 of Bard, Paps and Albers in 2011 (7 if you include Jenks and Aceves) vs. 19 by Paps, Bard and Oki in 2010. However you want to measure ability and future value (ie. saves are useless), you can't ignore that blowing saves loses a lot of games, and having 3 guys give up 19 winnable games is going to hurt your record. It's crazy how much a little luck plays a big role in an MLB season. Its Thurday[sic]! After Thursday is Friday! And after Friday is Saturday, and Sunday is afterwards! Fun fun fun! -joshv02 Last Edited By: SoxSail 08/10/11 12:02 AM. Edited 2 times.

It's crazy how much a little luck plays a big role in an MLB season. Some real good points there. I knew the back end of the bull-pen had been better this year but didn't know it was that much better. Also wouldn't mind trying Lowrie in right as Guidas suggest. Try it now to see if It might be an option in the playoffs. Tip of the cap to Bedard for not letting getting squeezed throw him off his game.
