Cy Beckett.
Hello Joe.t,
Now that Beckett has beaten Sabathia twice and Carmona has been beaten, are you willing to concede that the Cy Young belongs to Beckett who won with everything on the line last night??? Or are you still clinging to that "Cy Wang" thing...lol? C'mon now...you know the truth.
Little Hug,
Korbel

Infield Positioning
Your infielders position themselves according to the batter,pitcher and the type of pitch that is forthcoming.
If the expectation is that if the batter hits "right" and is a pull hitter the second baseman will play closer to second, the shortstop in the hole towards third and the third baseman will guard the line. If there is a runner on first,the first baseman may or may not hold the runner and with the pitch move towards second. No runner the first baseman would cheat towards second.
If the batter hits "left" and is a pull hitter there is a clockwise defensive rotation with variations for baserunners.
Other variables include, the pitcher - power or junk, double play situation,
score, game situation, batters bat speed,etc.

Top of the 7th, it's obvious now that the Sox won't be scoring another run against Westbrook.Robert 21 said:
Francona made a good move to pull Matsuzaka.
EE,
Thanks for the explanation. Credit given then to Ellsbury for hitting in the opposite field.
Hello all,
Geeeeeez, what an inning. What a foolish blunder by Lugo. It was tough to stay composed after that. Then Cleveland's thrid base coach may have made the blunder of the game by holding Lofton at third. Damn, Red Sox Nation wants more runs...now.
Tense,
Korbel

terrible terrible call
I hope that Selig does a investigation to see if that umpire that made that god aweful call on Loften at second has any connections to Tim Donahey.

Congrats go to the Red Sox for buying their way into the World Series with the second biggest payroll in baseball, too bad that it won't help them any against the well rested Rockies.
Is third base cursed?
Hello all,
Wow...multiple errors on boths sides, a held runner who should have scored, players collisons, a ball bouncing into the stands. Is the area around third cursed tonight???
Maybe,
