[Outshined_One]

Boo wind!

[Flames24Rulz]

This pitcher is meat. 89 and down the middle every time.

 

Complete game shutout approaching.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Mmm, grit.

[Outshined_One]

Nicely done, Scrappy.

Exactly.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

GRIT-tastic bunt single for Theriot, giving him the opportunity to extend his chase for the NL record in caught stealings.

[bcruise]

Yay pink bat!

[genbar]

Nice buntjob, Ryan

[PrimeTime]

Scrappy McGritt gets on

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This guy's fastball is nothing, but he has a nifty slider.

[PrimeTime]

Theriot better not steal..When will they realize hes not fast.

[genbar]

Don't try anything stupid, Grits

[Little Slide Rooter]

Please dont try to steal Theriot. If you get thrown out by Backstop Barbie, you'll never be able to show your face again.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Fascinating stat from Baseball Prospectus today:

 

Only 2.7% of Fukudome's fly balls are caught by infielders.

[Outshined_One]

The field is currently terrible for traction, Bob. I wouldn't call for a single SB or H&R all day if I were Lou.

[Oscar Zamora]

Damn walks! Unbelieveable. Why didn't Soto, Blanco, or whoever our catcher is for today--- why in the heck, didn't they go out to talk to Gallagher to calm him down?

[Outshined_One]

That slider is definitely wicked.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Damn walks! Unbelieveable. Why didn't Soto, Blanco, or whoever our catcher is for today--- why in the heck, didn't they go out to talk to Gallagher to calm him down?

 

He doesn't walk people because he's nervous. He walks people because he's not good at throwing a baseball where he wants it to go.

What? He walked one guy.

[inari]

Because it probably wouldn't have mattered? He walked one guy in the first inning.

man i really hope this crap pitcher doesn't dominate us all day

[Hairyducked Idiot]

man i really hope this crap pitcher doesn't dominate us all day

 

I think it just depends on how often he hangs a slider, to whom, and whether men are on base when it happens.

You think someone can actually homer today?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Ramirez is looking at some very borderline pitches and getting them called balls. I like it.

[genbar]

Good eye. Aram walks
