Early umpire idiocy. Plate is about 40 inches wide.

austro · « **Reply #2 on:** September 08, 2018, 03:09:46 pm »

Apparenty everything is a strike today.

HudsonHawk · « **Reply #3 on:** September 08, 2018, 03:11:45 pm »

T1:

Springer strikes out looking
Altuve strikes out swinging
Bregman lines out F4 in the shift.

No score

Catcher can get a glove on it, you’d better be hacking.

B1:

Betts...0-2...1-2...2-2...3-2...singles to LF
Benintendi shiftfuck single to LF, Betts to 2B
Martinez flies out F8, Betts to 3B
Bogaerts bounces a tailor-made double play ball to 2B, but no one there...another shiftfuck ground ball single, Betts scores, Benintendi to 2B
Moreland flies out F9 on a diving catch by Springer
Kinsler grounds out 5-3

But because of the shift, Morton had to get six outs and Red Sox lead 1-0

DVauthrin · « **Reply #6 on:** September 08, 2018, 03:27:20 pm »

Altuve’s positioning with one out didn’t make much sense. You want him at double play depth, not shaded up the middle.

Aussie Astro · « **Reply #7 on:** September 08, 2018, 03:31:53 pm »

Good things can happen when you swing the bat.

Nice to see Correa punish a fastball, then White crushes one to center.

Charlie can't piss away a four run lead after having the bottom of the order with two outs and nobody on. Come on.

Frustrating.

Jake just bailed Charlie out, but Charlie has got to stop doing this. He has too many starts where he looks dominant for three to four innings, then he implodes.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #35 on:** September 08, 2018, 04:57:06 pm »

I have to think that Charlie is the middle innings guy in the playoffs for just this reason.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #37 on:** September 08, 2018, 05:01:00 pm »

Jake sees the ball off the bat as well as anyone in baseball.

Vazquez should have been called out on three straight, Charlie couldn't get the call and seems to have got rattled.

Springer grounds to 3B, Devers with the diving stop, but throws it into RF, Kemp to 3B, Springer to 2B... scored a hit and TE5
Altuve flies out F7, but Kemp not tagging with nobody out
Bregman...infield in...takes a cookie for strike one...now down 1-2...strikes out swinging at a pitch three feet over his head
Gurriel pops out F4

Well that was a thoroughly disappointing inning. 5-2 still
