OK Lou, you might want to get that bullpen stirring before this game gets out of hand.

[DiamondMind]

What kind of pitch was that, a straightball?

[E.J.]

Good start Miller.

[radarluv1]

now that was meat.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Time to go to the floater, Steadman.

[RichHillIsABeast]

One of these days Jones will hit the cutoff man.

[JonnyRed]

I think the Wade Miller experiment is coming to a quick end. Come on, let's shut them down!

[Post Count Padder]

Miller is terrible

[E.J.]

What kind of pitch was that, a straightball?

 

That was an 87mph, straight-as-an-arrow, fastball that was on the inner half of the plate and belt-high.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Maddux makes all of the pitchers around him THAT MUCH BETTER!

 

Kind of like Magic Johnson.

[E.J.]

Murton and Jones throw like little leaguers.

[DiamondMind]

What kind of pitch was that, a straightball?

He hung a fastball.

 

For some reason that really made me laugh

[98navigator]

on another day, that's a 2 run homer and a 5-1 lead :x

[ToupeeOnFire]

Wow, a throw from RF that was in the vicinity of the baserunner. When was the last time you saw that?

[seanimal]

Well yeah, I'm not trying to say it's as good as the real thing. But choosing between 16" with no gloves and playing 12" with gloves I'll take the chance to play actual defense, as well as being able to hit the ball some distance(I'm not a power hitter so I can't fall in love with the long ball).

 

I see what you mean, but on the same token, you still play defense, though it's less similar to the real thing than 12". I think there's something about fielding with your bare hands, catching fly balls with your stomach Willy Mays-style. To each his own, I suppose.

[DiamondMind]

As bad as he is, why doesnt he throw some more breaking and offspeed stuff? Too many fastballs that aren't FAST.
