Sunday Night Baseball total, was that a sweat or what!!??

Journeyman · Aug 22, 2005

Total 8.5 , and no matter which way you had it was a pretty good jolt to the old cardiovascular system!

The game looked like an under all night long til the Padres started throwing the ball all over the field in the bottom of the 8th....

Padres poor fielding made the top of ninth a real hairy knuckle spot with Kyle Flamesworth coming in...

1st batter in the 9th rips a shot to Chipper at 3rd, he makes a great play on the ball then makes an errant throw, runner safe, and the fun begins....then for no reason, no reason whatsoever, Farnsworth tries t pick off the runner with no one covering the bag, and why should they cover up 6-2, what was Flamesworth thinking?

Runner goes all the way to third base, no one out, total surely will go over now right?

And you know the rest of the story:monsters-

Did it? Here I was thinking that not challenging a throw with pitcher coming and having the bases loaded, 0 outs without scoring was not exactly what an "unders" game look like. I was on unders as well and this game definitely didn't look like unders all night long. Still about the 8th inning, everybody with a tiny bit of brain should have layed off @ 1.10 or lower.

had san diego +1.5 runs and the under 8.5. freaking errors...are these professional ballplayers? how do you make plays like that?

Journeyman · Aug 22, 2005

zee, excuse me for not clarifying more specifically,,,,good grief

"the game had very little scoring" was that a better way of explaining it?

THE GAME LIKE MOST GAMES HAD CHANCES OF SCORING RUNS YES... BUT THE UNDER PLAY WAS NEVER REALLY A SWEAT TIL THE PADRES MELTDOWN...

My point was how close it came both ways...and the crazy events.

He didn't challenge the throw, he would have been gunned down anyway...should he have challenged the throw ? Yes. Would it have mattered? No.

jones had the ball before the runner was even at third base. he would have been out by 30 feet. holding him at 3rd was the right move...i dont care who is coming up.

Journeyman · Aug 22, 2005

I agree he was dead at the plate, some will say with the pitcher coming it was more than worth the risk... 3rd base coach had the play right in front of him...not to mention WHO was throwing it...if he's out by 30 feet than he looks like a fool for sending him...

Journeyman · Aug 22, 2005

the real clustefokk play was the first baseman fielding that high chopper and firing home, looking at the replay I'm not sure he could have gotten anyone, that ply and the error at short on Jones ball....

whe 72 yr old Franco came up it felt like Aaron was up , I just knew Julio would get on...the the ninth inning, still shaking from that ninth....I took a long walk after that ninth inning.

holding the runner was the right move for the following reasons:

1) he would have been out for sure
2) pitchers can get hits once in a while (smoltz drove in the braves first run)
3) even if the pitcher doesn't drive the run in, you start the next inning off with the top of the order.

Your 3rd point was the best IMO...the pitcher in question (Lawrence) had awful numbers but , he actually had a decent AB.

Don't tell Joe Morgan that though, he was preaching to Jon , the runner should have been sent....

I have Canbet, Hollywood and Sportbet and ALL THREE gave me a total of Over 8 (-125). I would have taken the under if it was 8.5, so I took under 4.5 for the first 5 innings instead.

I checked BODOG later and they had 8.5 at -115 for cripes sake - that just gets on my nerves. Where else did you guys get under 8.5? Did you pay more than -110 for it?

sia had under 8.5 -110. when you want the under or the dog, sia is the place to go.

I had -8.5 @ Grande (-115 though)

1.No, that's BS. he would NOT have been out for sure. It was ROBERTS, do you know him? He's kinda fast. Andruw would have needed to make a perfect throw to nail him, 2 feet of the bag would have been enough.

2. Pitchers can, Lawrence can't. It's not a matter only of if it's a pitcher, it's also WHO it is, if it's Marquis or Suppan, sure, give it a try, if it's Lawrence or Doug Davis....send this runner home.

3. It was a 0:0 game. All you care about is getting on the board and 1 run could have been a LOT.

Anyway, the decision was made, good or bad, doesn't really matter anymore, the game was lost.

About the throw home, I thought it was a decent decision, but it was a god damn ugly throw. He had a chance to have the runner tho.
