Do Smoak and Salty have a bunch of apologists too? I really don't know. They should start a band called Failed Prospects. DLS on vocals. Reed probably never thought to call him off because it was a routine play. His reaction when Beckham trips over him is priceless. "What the hell are you doing here?"

Yeah, he just stood there staring up into the sky the entire time, not making any effort to either get out of the way, direct traffic, or even catch it (which would be wrong but at least he would be doing something). Complete deer in the headlights look.

Come on Ventura I learned this my first day in Wallace Softball League Jr All-Stars. How about common sense? The guy running slowly on the FLAT GROUND has a better chance of catching the ball than a guy hauling ass over a mound of dirt! And yes Reed you have to say something too. I'm just glad Gordo didn't take somebody out there.

The routine for a pop up in the middle of the infield is for the pitcher to get out of the way and direct the infielders. If he never thought to call him off because it was a routine play that only substantiates my side of the argument.

Did you or anyone here expect to see Beckham come tearing in to try and catch this ball?

Overshadowed by the screw-up in the ninth, was how well the Sox played the rest of the game. They beat a hot prospect pitcher they had never seen before -- the very sort of pitcher we always hear they can never beat. Wheeler didn't get the loss he deserved, and if the bullpen hadn't kept the Sox from scoring the runner on third with less than two outs, Reed would have picked up his save. Reed's blown save holds a bit of justice, though considering he deserved a blown save in Seattle. And, really, Reed could have done a better job of directing traffic Sale twice allowed the Mets to take the lead, getting off to a slow start in the first and giving up a home run later, but both times the Sox answered. They took the lead with good fundamental baseball, scoring two runs after getting just one hit, the leadoff single. The pitcher put runners at second and third, and the Sox scored them both with fundamental productive outs. The Sox have been better lately at doing the fundamental things on offense they need to do to score runs.. If the defense was playing the way it's capable of playing, this team would be more reminiscent of a 1960s team than a 1970s team. But the way things worked out, Beckham screwing up the infield fly gave Sunday's goat a chance to be Tuesday's hero. |

Hawk wasn't the only one to lose it. I heard the call on the radio, and it was pretty amusing as well. Farmer made a quick expression of disgust and then didn't say much, but DJ went off for at least a couple minutes, saying that they weren't even watching major league baseball anymore. Pretty damn funny.
And he called in after on Rongey's postgame show and started ranting again. I don't like either of them that much, but it must be painful to have to cover such pathetic play on a daily basis knowing we still have months of this to go, so I kind of feel bad for TV and radio guys in that respect. No job is fun when the work is bad and unenjoyable. |

From my perspective that may or not may not be the case as I didn't see those teams, but for me this definitely in the running for the worst Sox team I've ever seen and the first Sox I remember was '81 or '82. Not sure, but they were still wearing Navy and Harold was the man as far as I was concerned.
