[Bote McBoteface]

:lol: I love Z.

 

what did he do?

 

Joking around. Put on a mask after the foul ball to protect himself. He usually knows where the camera is.

 

The best part was that it was actually a Shin guard that he put over his face.

Tie ballgame.

 

 

Are we still a terrible baseball team?

 

Are you really going to gripe as often as possible about people getting emotional while a game is going on?

[XZero771679666304]

3-1 Brewers now, 2 on, none out for the Mets.

[Shilzzz]

thanks for keeping me up to date, everyone! :D

[C.C.]

Too good to be true. Rich Hill is a not a mental giant out there.

 

yeah, studies have shown that dumb pitchers are more prone to wild pitches.

 

Watch him in person. He gets flustered, alot. I don't hate the guy, but showed tons of negative body language Friday night in Cincy. Pacing around the mound, shrugging his shoulders, putting his head down.

 

It doesn't have anything to do with intelligence, more like composure.

 

If Friday is a "bad" outing, then I'm not going to complain about Hill's composure or how he goes about his job on the mound.

 

Did I say it was a bad outing?

 

It was just a comment on his mannerisms. Things fall apart for him very quickly.

 

That's a matter of opinion. If there's a strong defensive catcher Hill might not have given up any runs that inning. As it stood he only gave up one, is that falling apart? How do you know that it's linked to his mannerisms? People are different, Hill may show outward displays of frustration in order for him to get over it and focus entirely on the next play.

 

 

Sure it was Kendall fault that Hill made a error, Hit, HBP, and walk. There is no one to blame but himself.

[Magnetic Curses]

i mean, i though having an emotional investment in a sports team, their games in particular, was what being a fan is about...

[Sammy Sofa]

Anyone know how many pitches that was for Moyer?

[Omar]

:lol: I love Z.

Joking around. Put on a mask after the foul ball to protect himself. He usually knows where the camera is.

I thought it was that or an inside of a mask. Still funny.

[CubmanPi]

CUBS are 26-16 when they score in the first inning.... 30-33 when they don't

CUBS are 48-30 when they don't allow any runs is the first inning.... 8-19 when they do

Something's gonna give tonight.

that's not what he said. at all.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Didn't Rothschild make him read a whole book about the mental side of pitching?

 

I think so. The point I'm making is that we can't speak for Hill's mental state. Considering he did a pretty good job of limiting damage that inning(as well as the aforementioned example in Cincy), maybe we shouldn't be so quick to label him as getting flustered.

the over/under is 1.

 

I'll take the over.

[Omar]

Bob Brenly and Gary Matthews (Phillies color man) will switch spots tonight for an inning tonight.

[Sammy Sofa]

Uh oh, Sarge is gonna join Len in the booth later.

 

Nunez singles. No outs.

[XZero771679666304]

I very rarely gripe.

 

I thought everybody was going o be excited that rich got out of it with very little damage. I thought it was ridiculous to see some of the responses, so I let people know about it.

[Friendly Confines]

3 run shot ramon castro, 4-3 mets

[The Voice of Reason]

4 - 3 mets.

[Omar]

Good play DeRosa!
