MLB Playoffs, Division Series Day Four: Heading For A Conclusion

We almost -- almost -- got through Day Three of the division series without an egregiously bad umpiring call, although the same umpire -- Paul Emmel -- who made Thursday's awful call at second base made a questionable one last night. If you haven't seen it, I expanded on my post regarding the Buster Posey incident yesterday at SB Nation Chicago.
That got Braves manager Bobby Cox tossed from a postseason game for the third time, but ultimately, his team prevailed in extra innings.
That's the only series that won't be swept; the Braves' 5-4, 11-inning win over the Giants assured us that series will go through at least Monday. The other three series could all be wrapped up tomorrow. That raises this issue: baseball now sets its LCS and World Series dates in stone before the season even begins. If three series wrap up by Sunday, those teams won't play again until at least Friday and possibly Saturday, a week from now. Should MLB reschedule its postseason series the way the NHL does, move them up? (I can hear Bud Selig now, "But how will we get hotel rooms?")
The two AL series are the only action today; please use this thread for all division series discussion all day -- it's supposed to function as a game thread as well as a discussion thread for other things about the playoffs. Again, if this thread gets slow for any reason, please post an overflow in the FanShot section.
All games on TBS; as last night, if the first one runs long, they'll start televising the second one on TNT.
4:00 pm CDT: Rays at Rangers. Rangers lead series 2-0. Announcers: Don Orsillo, Buck Martinez and Marc Fein. MLB.com Gameday for Rays/Rangers
7:30 pm CDT: Twins at Yankees. Yankees lead series 2-0. Announcers: Ernie Johnson, John Smoltz, Ron Darling and Craig Sager. MLB.com Gameday for Twins/Yankees

It wasn't egregious
but the force play at 2nd in the Reds/Phils game looked like a bad call.

How many times does Bud have to tell you? MUST. NOT. INTERRUPT. PACE. OF. GAME.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
So far, all the arguments about this have slowed down blogging, at the very least.

I don't disagree with the replay thing
but the bad call on the Posey play didn’t cost the Braves the game. Everyone who plays sports knows that there will be bad calls occasionally. You still have to make good pitches and get people out. I mean let’s be honest the third baseman should have made that play. He basically moved his glove out of the way of the ball to allow the run scoring single. The Braves have themselves to blame for that run scoring as much, it not more so, than the ump was to blame. The Rays should rightly be pissed about that check swing before Young hit the 3 run homer but it’s all academic if Qualls doesn’t serve up a gofer ball on the next pitch. Make good pitches and make plays in the field and overcome an occasional bad call.

You don't know how the game would have been different...
… at 0-0 instead of the Giants leading. Maybe they pinch-hit for Lincecum. Maybe the Braves score. The point is, what happens on the field should be called correctly.
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
I agree.
It may not be obvious whether a bad call costs a game, but there are intangible things it could affect such as the momentum.
.
Look into my eyes!
You also don't know that the next batter after Posey
got caught stealing wouldn’t have gone deep. Maybe San Fran goes on to score 15 runs. Who knows. My point is simply that the call didn’t cost the Braves the game. Bad calls happen. You can’t stop playing and say that the bad call cost the game. You have to keep playing and executing. Great teams over come these mistakes or get themselves into positions where bad calls don’t affect the outcome. I am simply saying that since there isn’t replay at this point players have to be able to do their jobs, execute what needs to be done and find ways to win. No team is going to go through the playoffs without a call going against them.
Your point that the calls need to be correct is entirely true but is also entirely unrelated to my point.

Ankiel's HR
Watching replay of last night’s Giants-Braves game. They must’ve replayed Ankiel’s Bomb into the Bay 6 times. Never did TBS bother to estimate or mention how far that went. Just plain lazy on their part. I’m really surprised Brenly didn’t say something.
Helluva meatball

Ex-Cub factor
Which ex-Cub are you rooting for the hardest to get a WS ring? Gotta be Kerry W. for me and most of us, tho I wouldn’t mind Farnsie or Fontenot getting one either….can’t get too motivated for D-Lee since he got one (at our expense) and sucked this year for Cubs. Part of me would be resentful if a resurgent Lee played key role in a Braves WS win, but he’s not a bad guy, just a bad 3-hitter for Cubs this year.
Anyone else I’m missing or not thinking of? Dusty? Man, the dude is snakebit!! Does Texas still have that ex-Cub backup INF with good glove?
Lee and Wood seem to be the most prominent.
Andy White!
As a Braves fan (second), I’m pulling for DLee to get a second ring. If the Braves can’t make the NLCS, then I’m pulling for Fonty.

Problem is if D-Lee gets a 2nd ring
Dr. Tightpants gets his first one. I do like the Braves, I just like the Giants more. I won’t be too upset if the Braves win but I would rather LBR have a ring.

Lee's got one.
Fontenot — sure, but he probably won’t play much in the postseason.
Kerry Wood — would love for him to get one, but it would mean the Yankees would win.

I think you mean't "can't be swept"
not “won’t be swept” unless you have peaked into the future.Twins & Rays in worse shape as they lost the first two games at home. I am hoping the Twins can at least win one game.

Watching VH1's "Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the 80s"
They’ve mentioned some good ones – Oran “Juice” Jones, Johnny Kemp, Til Tuesday. But there’s some strange stuff there, too. XTC – not a one-hit wonder. “Der Kommissar” wasn’t even Falco’s biggest hit of the 80s…

Sorry hon, you’ll be on cruise control tonight .. ! I despise the Braves, but I’d like them to make it to the WS to see that old coot Cox get into it one last time.
Course, he asked for it getting tossed last night, I think. The call may have been bad, but losing his lunch over it was a little dumb.

Hasn't Tightpants matured?
don’t feel a lotta love for him (if only he coulda locked down Fla in Game 6….) but not a lot of hate either. He’s been a better-than-avg. ML reliever now for 10 years. Seems his off-field antics (drinking benders, picking up chicks) had more to do with his rep than his actual performance. I think he’s had a few good years in a row now as setup man, never did deliver as closer for anyone, somewhat disappointing to him, no doubt (he’s made plenty of $$$).
The Cubs (Hendry) surely didn’t get much back for him in trade. Was in Robert Novoa?
http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/news/050209farnsworth.html
In return for the fireballilng righty, the Cubs received Dominican righthander Roberto Novoa, outfielder Bo Flowers, and third baseman Scott Moore.
Novoa (per Wiki) He played 49 games for the Cubs in relief in 2005, pitching 44.2 innings with 47 strikeouts. In 2006, he entered 66 games, pitching 76 innings with 53 strikeouts. He was on the disabled list for the entire 2007 season with a shoulder injury. On October 16, 2007, Novoa was claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Orioles. He was released by the Orioles on July 29, 2008. On July 30, he signed with the San Francisco Giants and became a free agent at the end of the 2008 season. He played briefly for the Diablos Rojos del México of the Mexican League in 2009, appearing in 7 games before being released in April. In 2010, he appeared in 18 games for the Acereros de Monclova, also in the Mexican League.
Moore (Wiki) Moore was sent to the Chicago Cubs as one of four players traded for pitcher Kyle Farnsworth in 2005. Moore made his major league debut on September 4, 2006, against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was called up again on July 20, 2007 to start at first base against the Arizona Diamondbacks after a suspended Derrek Lee and an injured Daryle Ward left the Cubs in need of a first baseman. Moore was sent down on July 24 after the suspension of Lee ended.
On August 31, 2007, Moore was traded from the Cubs to the Baltimore Orioles along with pitcher Rocky Cherry for starting pitcher Steve Trachsel. Moore was designated for assignment on February 10, 2009 to make room for Ty Wigginton on the 40-man roster. Moore joined the Triple-A Norfolk Tides.
Bo Flowers disappeared into the Peoria Chiefs and never made it to the bigs.

Matured some but not a lot
Was very disliked on the Yankees. Among other things as I recall he made some public criticism of
Clemens contract re allowing him to stay behind on road trips he was not scheduled to start in.. OK with me but not so much his teammates. Farnsworth as always been a loner wherever he played. I would not want him around.

OK thanks
3 for 1 a chance one of them mighta panned out. would Cubs entertain Farnsy as a vet presence in bullpen at 5/6 M per or has he worn out his welcome on the North Side (I’m not referring to certain watering holes, I suspect he doesn’t hang out as much now that he’s married—I think—father of several.).
We need that "type’’ a presence maybe not him specifically. prefer Wood.
I'd prefer Wood.
I think Wood has more left in the tank as that “veteran presence”.

I don't think he's "worn out" the welcome .. but I dont see him coming back
Marmol would have kittens if he did .. and I don’t think Farns is going to be much of an improvement over Marmol.

Farnsworth would be a setup man, no threat to Marmol.
But as I said above, I’d rather have Wood back.

Wood is like Girardi, we let him go and he is not coming back
Wood has been better with the Yankess than anywhere else in years. He found his niche and they like him. Yes he wanted to stay in Chicago but that was then and this is now. He should get a nice new contract with the Yankees.

I lived around 90 miles north of Madison in the mid-1990s.
I went to a game against Michigan State at Camp Randall Stadium during that time. This was before the “Jump Around” tradition or the Ron Dayne years.

I’m pulling for the Yankees to just win this game and put the Twins out of their misery. They obviously can’t beat them in the post-season, and maybe if the Yankees have to sit around for a week, they’ll be easy meat for the Rangers who will have to fight for their spot in the ALCS.

Jesus Christos.
That foul ball reminded me of one I saw at Wrigley on July 17. A foul ball rocketed into the right-field terrace reserved off the bat of a Philadelphia player, nailed a fan in the head, and wound up getting caught by fans way up in terrace reserved.
I saw the fans below waving, “come here”, and I thought the person who got hit was seriously injured. It turns out the fans by him/her wanted the fans in the terrace reserved to give the fan who got nailed the ball.
