ALCS Game 7 Open Thread

PrintIt's Lester vs. Garza tonight -- two excellent young pitchers. Most of the country has no idea who these 2 guys are but they are truly two of the best young pitchers in the game. Lester, right now, is one of the top 5 pitchers in the AL. Advantage Sox. I know that 99.9% of us are pulling for the Rays but I'd say the Sox are now the favorites. I hope I'm wrong. Is there any doubt right now that these are the two best teams in baseball? Not in my mind. I hope the Phils can stay w/ this game's winner long enough to drag the season out a couple extra days.
BTW, the Rays better win this game in the first 7 innings. Jonathan Papelbon has NEVER allowed a postseason run.

Help us Tampa Bay
You’re our only hope!

I'm wanting to say Barry Bonds, but I'm not positive
Also, Chuck you got your wish for a Game 7. I think it’s gonna be a good game. Well, I hope it is. As far as the Phillies, I think they’ll surprise you. As long as they’re hitting, they can beat any team in baseball. It all comes down to their starting pitching. And they’re just as good as Boston at closing the game out in the 9th.
Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
yeah they have stars
but they’ve also got some scrubs in their lineup and I don’t trust their starting pitching. Their relief pitching, though, is better than I thought.
BTW, Bonds is correct.
yeah...
… Bonds made the throw.
BoSox are starting Crisp and Cora instead of Ellsbury and Lowry. does this surprise anybody else?
oh...
… and on Bonds. some maintain that he was positioned way too close to the LF line; he had to run laterally towards center in order to reach the ball before throwing it, and that extra time might’ve been the difference between Bream being safe or out. i once heard a Pirate, not sure who, blame Bonds for that play.
poor Pirates. imagine how the recent history of that team might’ve been different if they’d won that game.
never heard that about Bonds
but, if it’s true, shouldn’t the Pirates’ coaches have repositioned him? Was Bonds so stubborn so as to ignore the coaches on defensive positioning? I guess it’s possible but it’s at least equally likely that, if true, Leyland and Co. deserve the blame.
i believe...
… that the story was that someone in the dugout motioned him more towards center and he took a token step or two, but didn’t go as far as they wanted.
but it’s been years since i heard this, and i don’t remember where it was or who was saying it. my memory could be off. in any case, the bigger thing was that whoever the Braves’ pitcher was gave up a hit to Francisco freaking Cabrera. at least, i think that’s what his name was.
but one thing i don’t remember: who was pitching for the Buccos?
It was Cabrera
and the pitcher was…Stan Belinda. I knew it was that closer guy who shouldn’t have been a closer. For some reason Steve Bedrosian’s name came to mind but I knew that wasn’t right. I got the initials right.
Braves scored all 3 runs
in the 9th. Drabek was money and pitched into the 9th and the Braves were helped out by a Jose Lind error. Great game.
Jose Lind!
i’d completely forgotten about him.
that was a great game. one of my earliest baseball memories was watching that game, actually. at the time i was cheering for the Braves for the sake of my cousins who were big fans. needless to say, i stopped cheering for the Braves after ’96. i was at one of those 15-2 games.
fucking Mark Lemke.
A friend of mine's older brother was an Atlhetic Trainer
in the Pirates organization (I wanna say he was with the Augusta team) and would have gotten to travel with the team and be a part of the medical staff had they gone to the World Series.
Needless to say, he was rather bummed.
Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.

that play
to this day its the main reason i hate barry bonds. if he had made a good throw he would have a ring and would have faded into history, instead he is a despised man. This play is one of my reasons why bobby cox is a choker, he had speed on he bench but left bream in the game with 2 bad knees, i do not understand it.

Obviously I haven't seen much of Garza before this series
but does he always have trouble keeping the ball down, or is that just his game?
"All baseball fans can be divided into two groups: those who come to batting practice and the others. Only those in the first category have much chance of amounting to anything."--Thomas Boswell
I think so
but w/ that heat, the high fastball is a weapon. He’s a little wild but has terrific stuff. Lester’s control’s a little better, and he’s left-handed.
yeah
his High Fastball is a great weapon, but that HR to pedroia was up and over.
nonetheless he does have great stuff

i grew up in St. Louis, moved to Carbondale, IL but still got FSN Midwest so could watch the Blues. this winter is my first out of the Blues’ broadcast range, and i don’t like it. fortunately, there’s usually an internet tv feed to be found, often in the game threads at letsgoblues.com.
i’m pretty pissed that EJ is gone for the year. i was really looking forward to watching him develop more this year.

I’m trying to write a test to be given tomorrow. It’s going to be a late night. Oh well. We don’t get many game 7s.

I confess to being conflicted...
I don’t want to see the (expletive) Red Sox in the Series, but any team that can’t outdraw the opposition in their home ballpark (I’m looking at you, Tampa/St. Pete!) doesn’t deserve to see their team in the Series….
"In this game, don't nobody know nuthin' about nuthin'." -- attributed to Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra
their finishing move
is what I find suspect about Tampa Bay. The sudden influx of errors (none all postseason and then five in the last couple of games), the 2-out hurting, and the bullpen. They need a little Mortal Kombat in their blood.

he's always had a very good walk rate
and an extra-base hit rate greater than 25. Even this past year, which wasn’t great at AAA, his XBH rate was 27.6. He won’t hit 17 homers but 7 is possible.
Garza's doin' his part...
I for one would like to see some small ball. The derby is fun, but clearly that’s not the way to beat the Sauks.

Does the fact that
they interview managers in the middle of a game 7 tell anybody else something about how important the in-game decision-making by managers is? It certainly doesn’t bolster the argument that managers are extremely important other than filling out a lineup card and making pitching changes.
i love the fact that maddon questioned the strike zone
but he did it in such a political way…
Lester very well could pitch a perfect game, if any ball within 8 inches of the zone is called a strike…

nope

/claims credit for the jinx
the baseball gods know i am a closet red sox fan, and punished me accordingly.
All y’all loser rays fans can thanks me as you deem appropriate.
the enemy's gate is down.
my take...
… on that has always been that managers don’t usually have much influence on the game, but in certain high-leverage situations the decisions made by the manager can have a big impact. see: Torre’s decision to start Lowe on short rest, then pull him with a low pitch count, then not pinch-hit for Kuo, then pull Kuo after one batter, then send in Broxton for a 5-out save. those decisions all back-fired, and may have cost the Dodgers the entire series.
we got a chance!!!

I have to keep reminding myself
that the centerfield TV shot does not give one an accurate “look” at the strike zone… since the camera’s higher than the field, pitches look lower on TV than they actually are; and since the camera’s off-set from dead center, you don’t get a legit “read” on inside/outside, either…
"In this game, don't nobody know nuthin' about nuthin'." -- attributed to Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra
I like the offset camera better than the one directly behind the pitcher
I find it easier to figure out the left/right strike zone when the camera is low like this than the up/down zone when the camera is higher since it has to be above the pitcher’s head.
When the camera is straight on, everything looks low to me, even balls that are chest high.

How about a Kotsay K and varitek hits into GIDP
40th anniversary of Gibson's 1.12 ERA, Think he could pitch in the bullpen now?
That is an excellant plan.

The team needed
something like this to build up their fan base. Now they will have people who actually WANT to come watch them play next year. Teams like the Cubs and Cards have built up their fan bases over the past hundred years. The Rays have had around 15. Big difference.
More like 10

Fox Sports head on finding out it will be a Phillies- Rays Series
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
That was fun!
But it is after midnight in MI, so I am off to bed. ’Night all!
And now
John Kruk is showing how biased he is towards the Phillies. He’s claiming they are a better team than the Rays all around. tsk tsk tsk.
I know the Rays have a better 3rd baseman.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
The Phillies can win if Rollins and Howard get hot
if not they are going to have a tough time. They will need to score a lot of runs to keep up with this Rays team. Hammels will have to be lights out.
