Open Thread: Game 99 - A's at Red Sox (cont)

Ziegler160px_tiny by Flashfire on Comment 647 comments

The A's got one back. 6-3 Red Sox after seven.

I wouldn't normally talk about another game but Chicago's Mark Buehrle just lost another perfect game and no-hitter in the sixth in Minnesota, but he set a new record with 45 hitters retired in a row, dating back to his start on July 18. The old one was 41 by Jim Barr and Bobby Jenks.

Honestly, I think the 3 run lead was the key

Boston played sloppy and indifferent, thinking it was all but over. Maybe in a closer game, it was different?

Seems like they played the baseball equivalent of a "prevent defense"

Which I’ve always felt, in football, helps to “prevent you from winning.” Play the way that got you there, which was holding runners on.
