Re: *WORLD SERIES GAME ONE THREAD: Rockies at Red Sox*
I'm really sick of analysts not lacing into Skinner for holding up Lofton. Oooh Fenway is weird. F that. All you need to see is where the ball is in relation to Manny and how far along Kenny is. It was an easy call and he blew it.

It was an easy call and he blew it. [/ QUOTE ] I'm sorry, but I think you're wrong...Let me explain. My season seat is halfway between the 3rd base dugout and home. For that play, it happened to be perfectly aligned so that the whole play was directly in front of me. As Lofton hit the bag, Manny was about a foot from picking up the ball. It was in reasonably shallow left field. Had Skinner sent Lofton, I believe he would have been out by at least five feet. The very confusing part of all of this is that when I got home, I watched all the replays, and what they showed was really deceiving, because after reviewing them, it did appear that Skinner should have sent Lofton. I really don't know how to explain the disparity from what they showed vs. what I saw, but I saw what I saw. FWIW, I've spent many hours over the last 30 years in the 3rd base coaching box, and I would have held him up to, given what I saw from the stands. The throw for Manny to the plate was an easy no-brainer, and given his arm, it would have been an easy, accurate one-hopper to Varitek. Now, I'm not saying that Skinner shouldn't have chanced it (given the game situation) but on the bang-bang decision that a 3rd base coach has to make regarding the odds of safe/out, he made the right choice.
