Talking about our buttons and Sanos of the future?

Ha, thought I edited it before anyone saw

[spinowner]

Sano nice grab of that popup. As usual

[big dog]

There's a nice catch over the dugout railing by Sano.

[Willihammer]

LOL. And now Sano stuns everyone in the building and watching on TV by catching a popup 5 feet out of play.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Buxton and Sano...if this is the future. Yuckaroo

I thought he meant Buck-ano.

[big dog]

 

The pop up thing is hard to understand, I agree. I don't know if he's not concentrating or what. But the double play ground ball to his right on the next play is a play Plouffe can't make anymore, period, and I have not heard a peep about that from anyone in the organization, all while being constantly reminded by this organization about how terrible Sano is at everything. Sorry, we can take this to the forums instead of here.

I've seen so little of Plouffe lately I don't have any comment on his defense.  I've given up on him as a part of the team anyway.  I wonder if Polanco should be taking some balls at third.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Sano bobos pretty much vindicated forever after catching that popup

[big dog]

I never thought Price would make it to the 6th inning.

 

That (apparently) bad call on Nunez at second base was a big, big play.

[Aggies7]

Regarding price...as the late great Denny green said...seems as if we let him off the hook

[spinowner]

Now that's a seeing-eye single. Right between Price's legs.

I am with you

Rosario hits the 5 hole.

[Aggies7]

Speaking of Denny green...how did Jerry burns outlive him? Heck, how did BUD GRANT outlive him?

[Willihammer]

OK Buck, 3rd time against Price. 1-0 count. Men on base. Let's see something here.

[Willihammer]

And Buxton delivers! Good stroke w/ two strikes.

[big dog]

No hit, but a nice line drive Sac fly.  I'll take it.

 

And he knocks Price out of the game.  It's about time.

[Aggies7]

Thankfully sano is no longer in right field and his errors are no longer costly

[jimmer]

he has another throwing error this game, right?

[big dog]

OK, my man-crush on Max Kepler is really getting out of control.  I just assumed he was going to hit a home run there and was disappointed it was just a triple.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Kepler almost !

[Willihammer]

Think the Red Sox miss Betts?

[big dog]

 

he has another throwing error this game, right?

Yup.

[jimmer]

The game is ridiculous.  Certainly not a 'how to' clinic of baseball play.

[jimmer]

what happened to Betts?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Vargas placed that perfectly

 

did he learn that at Rochester?

Backyard baseball. Play until it's too dark to see the ball.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Yep everyone on the field has had their moment

[big dog]

Wow, that was a terrible play by Holt.  He went into the slide and went past the ball- looked like he missed it by at least 6 inches.

 

Nice to see Vargas running on that and making it to second.

 

This game is not over, the carousel of Boston runners on base not withstanding.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

winner

[Willihammer]

what happened to Betts?

Hurt his knee in the 4th? inning yesterday.
