3/7 DR (Colon) vs Venezuela (Santana and Zambrano)-Noon,ESPN

[Balsa]

I don't like the WBC anymore.

 

Come back to Mesa Carlos!

 

He's doing his best to do that!

[Chris]

Shut up Kruk

 

I don't get it. Cubs fans have to be concerned because the other team can't hit his fastball?

 

Exactly, very Morganesque

:wink:

[Chris]

Come on HR, keep talking about how Batista is better at coming in for relief since he's used to it.

[Balsa]

I have to say, there is a lot more longball here than there is in Asian pool...

[ToupeeOnFire]

Note to Hendry: Do whatever it takes to get Miguel Cabrerra.

Rumor has it he is.

[Jon]

Nice pitch, Z.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Haha, I love the infamous Zambrano finger point of acknowledgement!

[Pistolcub42]

The announcers are talking about how much they would enjoy playing behind a pitcher like Zambrano....

[indifferent]

OOh, which of these Zambrano's is not like the other, from C to V. Quite a downgrade.

[Coach C]

Nice pitch to get Tejeda out.

[Chris]

Kruk thinking back to the glory days of playing baseball with a Mantle signed ball

[Jon]

Haha. Nice curve.

 

Z's done after 56 pitches. He'll do better next time when he starts.

[Brian]

what was Z's total line I just got in to see the last half inning

[Balsa]

That was a filthy pitch to out Tejada.

[Jon]

We've got a ballgame.

 

The strike zone continues to neutralize the pitchers' advantage.

[Chris]

6-4 after the Alfonzo HR

[Jon]

what was Z's total line I just got in to see the last half inning

2.2 IP, 3 hits, 4 runs, 3 BBs, 2 Ks, 1 HR

[ToupeeOnFire]

This announcing is beyond annoying.

 

Kruk is talking about how Latin born players are more advanced fundementally than their American counterparts. Who knows if it is true or not, but it is no less a sweeping generalization than it is to say that Americans are more advanced than Latin-born players. In other words, he needs to stop talking out of his sphincter.

Hey Brian, Love the Edger memorial photo...nice touch!

[Brian]

Kruk is stealing childhood stories from 'The Sandlot', when Z was pitching he was talking how when they ran out of balls as kids they played with his dads autofraphed Mickey Mantle ball because they didn't know better. Sure Krurker

[Coach C]

That's the first thing that came to my mind was that movie, where that kid stole the autographed Babe Ruth ball.

[Brian]

wow Victor Zambrano just ate up Ortiz :shock:

[HerbalK]

Okay good, I also thought Kruk was making up stories based on the Sandlot.
