I like how the Ortiz HR went right over his head..
Also, that dude is so ridiculously strong. The wind was blowing straight in and anyone who has been to Fenway more then a few times knows it's near impossible to power a ball out to that part of the field with the wind coming in that strong.. 5/2/2006 9:26:35 AM |

yeah the wind was wicked last night. The wind kept a few balls off the monster last night. The difference between A-Rod and Big Papi, when the game is on the line I would rather have Ortiz at the plate than Pay-Rod 5/2/2006 9:30:47 AM |

Quote : | " IT'S ABOUT TIME THE BOMBERS DROP DAVID
May 9, 2006 -- THE Yankees have to droppy Papi. They need to brush the beast back. They need to pick out one of David Ortiz' chins and let a little music dance across the whiskers. And they need to do this immediately. Across the next three days, Randy Johnson, Mike Mussina and Shawn Chacon will each get three or four shots to put Ortiz on notice that, on behalf of the entire Yankee pitching staff, they are mad as hell.
And they aren't going to take it any more.
It's been three-plus years now, and it's time. Look, Ortiz has battered and butchered American League pitching of every stripe, rank and pedigree, despite the 1 for his last 20 funk that he brings to Yankee Stadium tonight. He has emerged, for now and for the foreseeable future, as one of the four or five elite hitters on the planet, a scourge at any time, an absolute nightmare with men on base, and a calamity waiting to happen in the late innings of a close game.
And in The Bronx, he is otherworldly. In his career he's walked to the plate at Yankee Stadium 129 times. He's hit .326 with 11 homers and 21 RBIs; for kicks, if you pro-rate that over 162 games you're merely talking about 66 homers and 126 RBIs. It may be the House that Ruth Built, but it's now Papi's Place, belonging to the Red Sox star far more than any individual Yankee right now.
It's more than that, though. Ortiz is locked in against everybody at this stage in his career, but he's on another level, in another zone whenever he faces the Yankees. Part of that is sheer skill, of course. Part of that is confidence. Part of that is the nervous buzz that fills Yankee Stadium - a nice bookend to the electric jolt that consumes Fenway Park - whenever Ortiz digs in 60 feet, six inches away from a Yankee hurler.
And that's the problem. That's what's maddening. If Ortiz were any more comfortable at the plate, he'd bring a chaise lounge, a pitcher of Pina Coladas and a couple of Cuban cigars with him to the batter's box. If he were any more settled in, he'd hang a badminton net on the grass. Ortiz has splattered Yankees pitching for three-plus years, and he's never once had to face the flip side of all that prosperity.
Not once.
Eventually, that has to end. Way back when, on the July 4th weekend in 2003 when Ortiz first announced himself to the Yankees, hitting four homers in the first two games of a four-game series, a furious Roger Clemens fumed, "Ortiz has too much plate coverage. I am going to have to make adjustments the next time I face him."
Ortiz, still early in his legend, smiled knowingly at that oath and said, "I don't know what he means when he says that," although he knew precisely what Clemens meant. Clemens never did return the favor that year, because there was never an opportunity, and he was gone soon thereafter, just before David Ortiz, burgeoning slugger, officially morphed into Big Papi, Forever Fenway Folk Hero.
But you have to understand one thing, if you know anything at all about Clemens: if he were still here, at sometime in the last two years Ortiz would have gotten a mouthful of dirt. At least once.
At least.
Nobody else has done that. Not once. Look, no one is suggesting the Yankees aim at Ortiz' head, or his ribs, and nobody is suggesting they should be looking to injure Ortiz - or even give him a free base by plunking him in his posterior. But the Yankees have treated Papi as if it's suddenly against the law to move a man off the plate. Clemens called it "plate coverage." The rest of us lay men call it a "comfort zone."
It's been that way for three years. It remained that way last week when Ortiz smoked a scalding blast through the teeth of a billowing wind and into the Sox bullpen for a game-clinching three-run homer at Fenway - against Mike Myers, of all people, a submarining lefty who delivers the ball from just to the right side of the first-base coaching box and scares the bejeezus out of almost every other left-handed hitter in the United States of America.
All except one very comfortable left-handed hitter. Who's going to change that? When?" |

More like 'typical smart baseball.' The guy has FEASTED on Yanks pitching and the inside part of the plate. You think if Pedro was facing Papi he wouldn't brush him off the plate?
I like the Sox and I agree with the article...

more heat to the rivalry, and like the articles says Ortiz is slumping this is the type of the thing to wake the beast up. Brush him back if you want but don't think they won't brushback Giambi when he crowds the plate. 5/9/2006 3:25:15 PM |
