GDT-9-4-18 THE CHERNOBYL SYNDROME MASSACRE: RETURN OF THE NIGHT OF THE NEWK!

[AerchAngel]

Did Carms hit right handed against a right handed pitcher?

[salmagundy]

It was over long before that. When Camargo made his bonehead error, the game ended.

I don't see an error on Camargo in the box score. When you want to put the blame on a player, make sure of your facts.

Did Carms hit right handed against a right handed pitcher?

Yep. Knuckleballer.

[USMA76]

Did Carms hit right handed against a right handed pitcher?

Yes. I guess different rules apply for knuckleball pitchers?

[Ozzie Swanson]

Did Carms hit right handed against a right handed pitcher?

Ozzie doing the same.

You won’t get credit for this but you are absolutely right. Gives the Sox the opportunity to plug in holes with tremendous players like Kinsler, Phillips, or Pearce...The depth of that team is astonishing...like the Cubs....That’s what wins hampiosnhips...Consistent TOR pitching and position depth...

Yep. We have to limp along plugging holes with whatever is cheap. Imagine our team right now and having $120 million to spend on whatever we want. It's insane!

I think this is the biggest threat to baseball. When half the teams are getting out spent on that scale it's a bad situation.

Lots of switch hitters hit their natural hand against knucklers.

It was a hard hit ball that Camargo appeared to take his eyes away from. While not charged with an error, I believe most thought it was a play he should have made especially in light of the fact he made a much more difficult catch on a line drive earlier in the game. His "misplay--however labeled" extended the inning and led to a couple of Boston runs.

That said, if/when we lose this game, it'd be pretty unfair to hang all of the blame on Camargo.

How was that not an error? I just assumed it was. It was obviously an error.

Did Carms hit right handed against a right handed pitcher?

Yep! He did it last night also. Albies hit right handed against Wright also.

[msstate7]

Once the Red Sox finish us off tonight, the braves will be 4-12 in the 2nd half vs winning teams.

[buck75]

Da Wright stuff!

[striker42]

Wright's breaking ball is nasty.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Now we get Wright. Seriously Snit, screw you.

[Garmel]

That was a nasty pitch.

[USMA76]

Beats me; you'll have to ask the official scorer.

I guess the official scorer rationalized his decision because the ball was scorched. However, as I said, Camargo made a more difficult play earlier in the game and the ball in question hit his glove. Were I scoring it, I would've assessed an error.

[striker42]

We're now 1 for our last 15 with RISP. And IIRC, that one hit didn't result in a run.

[GeorgiaGirl]

Wright might not have many innings left but I wish Snitker wasn't so balky with young pitchers. I wish we saw him earlier in this game.

[AerchAngel]

Pumped, that slider is probably one of the nastiest I seen in a while.

[USMA76]

Now we get Wright. Seriously Snit, screw you.

Can't believe you're even questioning this decision. I mean why put in Wright when Luke Jackson is available?
