how's the strike zone tonight?

No beef with the strike zone tonight.

that's absolutely fan interference.

Technically, but I don't know how much practical interference was involved. Looked like he could have made that catch to me.

Not really.

He should have had it, plain and simple. Rough end of the night. Let's hope the Tigers bounce back.

let's put it this way: if it was napoli in detroit, it probably would've been called. #redsoxpostseasonmagic

anyway, pressure's on verlander to shut this momentum down.

how much does Hunter hate fenway?

he blew his knee out when he was still with Min and now he gets forever remembered for going over the wall on ortiz's hit.

Honestly, Hunter has been misplaying fly balls anywhere near the wall all season. He's actually been very bad defensively all season. If he did over run that and had a decent jump, he probably should of had that.

watching 100 times since both last night and this morning, i think he could have made the catch... not "should have," but certainly "could have."

I agree, it clearly wasn't a routine play, but he grossly overran that ball, like he almost did with the fly ball from Salty earlier in the game.

so you agree that scherzer should be allowed to punch torii in the face.

I got in a pretty heated argument with a buddy. He could have made that catch but it was clear as day to me that he took a bad angle.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. This game should be 1/2 the time. The game moves sooo slow now, I can barely watch it. Really takes the air out of the "it will slow down the game" argument against replay? Could it really go any slower??
