That’s an absolute killer right there

That is just bullcrap
If he's not on top of the bag Eddie's there 

Well, that was certainly an unusual way to do a double play.

Can you block first base like that?

Yesterday was a 1 run game.

 

I am no longer concerned about 1 run games...

Dunno if that was a “great” double play so much as a “series of bad throws that somehow worked out”, Dick.

Wow, what a double play

Eddie was too nice there...should have ran right up his back..as long as he doesn't break an ankle

I would ask about impeding the runner or some other legaleze

Eddie should've just cleated him... way too important of a play for that sh*t

If there was one guy I would have wanted up at that situation, it was ed and he still gidp

Run through/over him and force the ump to make a call

Eddie should've just cleated him... way too important of a play for that sh*t

That was the right move. The runner has more of a chance of serious injury than a guy taking a cleat in the leg or back.

What constitutes obstruction on a play like that? Does it have to be intentional?

Agreed, lot of potential of hurting something in your knee/ankle/foot/leg on an awkward step onto a player. Was no good choice for him there, but he made the correct one. 

I can guarantee that Rosario was not at full speed...may have beaten the throw

Very nice inning from Rogers. Not sure why he hasn't been used lately. 

Maybe it's my anti- East Coast bias seeping through, but I'm of the firm opinion that if the teams were reversed on that DP, any Red Sox baserunner would have happily given a sprawled Logan Morrison a Nike-oscopy whether his health plan covered it or not.

123 inning.

 

Now back to business.

 

It's business time

6 innings by Lynn, two runs for the Sox? I'd have taken that in a heartbeat.

 

Bullpen's got this, right?

As much as I didn't like the play, I'm just glad Eddie didn't get hurt either breaking stride like he did, or leaving a nice big footprint on Pearce like he could have.

Agree but Disagree...that was the tying run play

 

Agree it was the safe play and he is way too valuable to lose

Disagree because it would have tied the game and every game matters

What an at-bat by Dozier

 

6 innings by Lynn, two runs for the Sox? I'd have taken that in a heartbeat.

I'm actually a lot more worried about being able to score a couple more runs than I am about the bullpen.

I still say this should happen

That's gotta be a fake beard Kimbrel is wearing, right?

Baseball is a 162 game season. For the same reason I get pissed at Buxton for running into the wall to catch a third inning out, I don’t want to see the best hitter on the team turn an ankle just to step on a guy.

Back to Back Jacks and Boston will trade for Duke between innings

Can Duke pitch the 8th for the Twins...and the 9th for Boston?

4 pitch walk. Might as well swing at the first pitch, joe.

Two Veteran AB's by the Doze and Joe (LoMo takes 4 straight and Joe jumps the first pitch)
