Open Thread; Game 1 - A's vs. Red Sox (cont)

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on Comment 422 comments

We head to the seventh inning! Manny ruined Blanton's great start in the sixth with a two-run double, giving the Sox a short-lived 3-2 lead, but Hannahan (Chavez who?) BLASTED a two-run homerun to retake the lead for the A's.

It's 4-3.

Wonder what the bullpen lineup is

It was a double play and a weak 1-3

But I still don't think Embree should've been in to face 3 straight righties before Ortiz is up.

Just because it works doesn't mean it's smart.

Ellis is such a stud

In the great NES game RBI baseball from 1986 (to date the most realistic baseball sim), players will randomly be "dialed in" for a full game, where everything they hit is with power. Long story short, Ellis is dialed in.

because he never threw particularly hard and his out pitch was a changeup.

Now his fastball is slow and hopefully his changeup is slower.
