If Francona was planning on Pap getting 6 outs why not just start the inning with him?

Got to major 2nd guess Tito here. Just let Pap come in to start the inning if you're going to yank Masterson that quick anyways.

C'mon guys. Francona wasn't planning on a leadoff triple.

I feel bad for Red Sox fans on the east who now might have to stay up until 2 or 3 if this goes extra innings. MLB scheduling kind of sucks imo.

Jesus christ these announcers put me on tilt. Do they not realize they have the same audience that isn't going to forget their Vladimir Guerrero anecdote from his third inning at bat? It's like the commentators in video games that always repeat the same sound bites.

Reminds me of game five, 2004 ALCS when Flash Gordon started the eighth instead of Mariano, by the time they got him in Papi had already gone yard and there was a runner on third with <2 out. Whoops!

So you think if it was only a double or single, he doesn't yank him? I don't think so. I'm thinking he's thinking, first sign of trouble I'm bringing in Pap and if that's what he's thinking it's wrong, just let him start the inning clean.

Don't feel bad. Most of us are at home watching games for most part of the season while you west coast folks are still at work.

I see nothing wrong with Francona's pitching decision in this inning. He obviously felt Masterson could go out there and get some outs. He didn't, so he brought in Pap. I don't think Francona was planning on using Pap for 6 outs. He just got to the point where it was necessary.

Of course, one could question using Masterson instead of a non-Pap pitcher, but Francona felt Masterson was the right pitcher for the 8th.
