He had an extremely low pitch count before he came out for the final inning. Something like 13 or 14 if I remember correctly. Wound up with 26 pitches total.

In that case, no release.

Is the reveler a writer for rotoworld?
If I had 3 wishes... One of my wishes would be to make a select few of you Pirates Fans.
so, lowell may ask for his release and Dice-K is throwing V-Mart under the bus. Good times.
dunno. I would include the link, but I am feeling a little fast and loose today.
When asked if the Red Sox would've beaten Tampa Bay in the ALCS had Manny not gotten his wish and been traded, Ortiz replied: "Probably. I'm not gonna lie to you."
Apparently V-Mart pretty much crap-talked Papelbon too, according to YES. Good times indeed.so, lowell may ask for his release and Dice-K is throwing V-Mart under the bus. Good times.
Likes the Yankees.
too bad Manny's not around to throw an old guy to the floor.
I hope -tz doesn't see this post.it could get ugly.
I thought it was V-Mart throwing Dice-K under the bus. Did Dice-K start it? And if so, how much did Dice-K miss the underside of the bus by?so, lowell may ask for his release and Dice-K is throwing V-Mart under the bus. Good times.
42 is the answer
AJ Burnett=Jaret Wright 2.0
Adam Dunn has less value than Drew Henson - Nome
CF's better than Granderson: Jacoby Ellsbury (.301, 70 steals), Scott Posednik (.304) - Curmudgeon
The Librarian doesn't venture in here. Hence why I am so brave.I hope -tz doesn't see this post.

i wonder if either of them threw those outfielders under the bus-- yikes. I think I even make a few of those catches.

ESPN Headline: "Ex-Yankee Lowell wants out of beantown immediately, causing trouble."
Javy Vazquez's 2010 non-Cy Young season: 4-10, 7.15 ERA, 140 Ks, 170 IP.
because I believed you and thought this was an actual headline, i went to read the article on ESPN.
Obviously it doesn't say "Ex-yankee," but, not only that, in the interview of Lowell, he's very objective and perhaps even excessively nice about things.
If it had been up to him, he said, he would have used David Ortiz even more than the Sox have, even though it would have cost him playing time.
"I literally eat up a roster spot,'' he said before stepping into the batting cage Tuesday afternoon. "I literally do. That's the way it is.
"I don't want to use [asking for his release] as leverage, it's just the reality of the situation they're in. When Jacoby [Ellsbury] and [Mike] Cameron come back, who do I hit for? There will not be one person in the lineup.
"The first baseman [Kevin Youkilis] and the third baseman [Adrian Beltre], they're two Gold Glovers. They never get batted for. I refuse to wish injuries to good players. That's so [expletive] terrible. I want to get playing time on my own.
....
I'm not mad at Tito. I don't see why I have to go there. What am I going to go and tell him, play me more? Why? Who am I going to play for?
"Honestly, I actually agree with everything they have done. I actually would have played David more. I would have needed to see if he was really hurting or he was going to come out of it. That's why I think I pose a problem. It's like they feel they owed me at-bats against a lefty.
"It worked for a couple of days, but overall we all want David to be good. That's just a fact of our life. If we're going to have success, David needs to be good.''
"First batter up well here's the pitch: it's a curve. Second batter up because the first got served"
That doesn't sound like Lowell. Didn't he take less money to sign there a few years ago.
edit- the actual article is pretty clear. He has no place on the team right now and he still has lots of baseball left in him.
updating...
NESN talking nonsense. Heidi Watney just said, "It seems like both teams [the Yankees and Red Sox] are getting to each others' closers a little more recently." Uhh, when did the Sox get to Mo this season?
Also apparently Kubel's GS led to Rivera's first blown save since 2007

I guess Jason Bay's homer last spring made quite an impression on her.
Where did this "Boston is emphasizing pitching and defense first" mantra that Michael Kay and other baseball commentators like to repeat nightly originate? Did Theo actually state this prior to the season? It's not like Boston's opening day lineup sans injuries was comprised of Rey Ordonez x 9. When healthy it's still a fairly potent offense. In fact even with the injuries aren't they currently leading the league in homeruns?
Never left the Betances bandwagon.
The run prevention mantra started from Theo in the winter...I thought it was at the winter meetings but that was his "we're in a bridge period" meme...I think he started the run prevention thing with the signing/announcement of Cameron.
It's Toronto that leads in HRs with Boston second but they have also played a lot of games at Fenway, so that helps their HR total..I doubt they end the season in 2nd in HRs...the offense doesn't seem anemic as many thought going into the season, but the pitching and defense have been pretty poor at times...
It was probably around when they passed Kansas City for worst team ERA in the American League.
Dude, how did you miss the birth of the RUN PREVENTION™ meme? Theo said it over the winter. It pissed Dusty off; he went on some rant about how it was insulting and that the offense is still excellent (He probably threw some expletive in there just for Jeanne.)

I want to go on record right now stating that if the Yankees didn't give up more runs than the Sox, they would have won.
Its safe to say if Joba doesn't pitch and someone without epic level suck does, we win.

You beat me to that. How about Tom Tom, no count down?
I hope tomorrow someone catches Beckett on film doing roofing or something like those guys you always see on the news getting busted collecting disability.
speaking of which -- has any team actually won a protest?
i love how that a-hole yells at cervelli when he sits there with the ball for 3 minutes before each pitch. and then gets all pissed at the mound - does he not know he can ask for it to be fixed? what a douche.
Good pitching beats good hitting the vast majority of the time. You get bloops off of good pitches and guys like Vlad hitting home runs off balls in the dirt once in a blue moon, but despite your attempt at sarcasm, you're actually somewhat correct. Except for the "nothing to do with the Sox" part. If Joba had done his job, the Sox leave NY with their tails between their legs.
Joba, Thames, and Rivera are the goat trifecta of tonight's game, just like Dice-K and Papelbon were the goats last night.
Cue everyone arguing with this obvious point in 3...2...
NateNate's here for quality baseball conversation! Yay!

Rivera actually pitched fine. He got totally boned by Thames, Girardi, and Campos.
What a coincidence.
I agree about Rivera.
In the post-game, Joe explained that they positioned Winn there because Rivera usually lets up weak bloops the other way, which is true--we've all seen this from time to time (2001 WS). However, I still think that's a bad idea and that Girardi was trying to be a little too smart.
You're like the guy who writes ENOUGH SAID! and thinks that alone proves the point.
Mo got 6 outs that inning. Even the great Mariano Rivera will get touched up when that happens, especially when the LF is playing that shallow against a guy who can put some distance on the ball.
Yup, I obviously only come in here after Red Sox wins.
Obviously.
It was a pretty terrible idea. A bloop would have been one run. As opposed to essentially gifting away two.

Now that I think about it, it's not a bad strategy against left-handed batters as long as he's throwing that cutter in on them.
Well, you are in here about .500 of the time.
High five!

Nice to see that Ortiz is pretty much officially out of The Slump. 2-3, about 2 ft. from another home run tonight, which he would have had were it not for the wind blowing in. Nice to see.
