Lester got squeezed on a two-strike pitch and then gave up a Rodriguez HR.

so what happened to Meyers? was it the crowd noise that messed him up there?

― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 4 October 2013 20:48 (eleven years ago)

Deadspin theorized that he may have been "called off" by someone in the Red Sox bullpen.

― Immediate Follower (NA), Friday, 4 October 2013 21:39 (eleven years ago)

i thought that - and remembered it happening once here in Toronto (with ARod doing the yelling). but i would have expected Meyers to turn around and have something to say about it, as I got the impression it's a pretty bush league thing to do (Arod got quite the earful from the J's when he did it).

― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 4 October 2013 21:43 (eleven years ago)

@Buster_ESPN
Wil Myers said unequivocally: no one called for that ball; he saw Desmond Jennings out of the corner of his eye and backed off.

It was 5-1 when I got home... should Maddon have pulled Price early? Not much confidence in a long man, if he has one.

Price had a problem with Ortiz watching his 2nd homer. "As soon as he hit it and I saw it, I knew it was fair - run," Price said.

Koji Uehara thwarted the Rays as the resilient Red Sox advanced to the ALCS.

Yes isn't it just breathtaking how ~~a team with one of the highest payrolls and the greatest run differential~~ the Red Sox followed a loss with a win.

victorino is the best. i had no clue when they signed him how fun that dude is.

― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 9 October 2013 22:55 (eleven years ago)

X Bogaerts walked.
W Middlebrooks struck out swinging.
X Bogaerts to second on wild pitch by F Rodney.
J Ellsbury walked.
S Victorino hit by pitch, X Bogaerts to third, J Ellsbury to second.

also i would like to lol at maddon for pulling pitchers if they breathed funny and then leaving his terrible closer in long enough to do this sequence

― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 9 October 2013 22:58 (eleven years ago)
