Hrm, the Brewers take the lead off of Shark. Who could have possibly forseen that?

[Sammy Sofa]

The amounts of balls that Shark sucks cannot be calculated.

[Roast]

Byrd, why the hell dive there. YOu had NO shot.

[NotSoSober]

Pull him

[genbar]

I hate Shark so much. He's all over the place.

[Tim M]

Brutal.

[TruffleShuffle]

ERA back up over 20 :x

It looked like a good pitch to hit on Gameday. You always look to swing at a hittable pitch right away with the bases loaded, the pitcher doesn't want to fall behind(especially after 2 walks and a coaching visit).

 

That assumes the guy is grooving one on the first pitch, and that was not close to the truth.

 

Like I said, I can only go on what Gameday says, and that you should swing at a good pitch to hit.

[Schwarber Fan]

Edmonds is gonna kill one

[ctcf]

Lou has no one to blame but himself.

[Sammy Sofa]

LOU, FOR [expletive]'S SAKE, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TO MANAGE A BULLPEN?!?

[nick23]

ERA back over 20.0

[erik316wttn]

Go away forever, Shark. Seriously. Go buy 100 copies of your 2008 SI cover to hang in your den and retire.

[Old Style]

ERA is under 20!!!

Back up over 20.

FLICK YOU SHARK

Byrd, why the hell dive there. YOu had NO shot.

 

Because he had a fielder right behind him to keep the runner at first.

Oh wow does Samardzija suck, just another wasted contract by hendry.

[ctcf]

LOU TAKE HIM OUT BEFORE I HAVE A CORONARY

[TruffleShuffle]

perhaps we should send this guy to iowa until he actually learns how to throw the ball with a foot of where he's aiming it.

[Roast]

Alright shark, Just blow one by him please.

[Sammy Sofa]

This idiot needs to be back down in the minors.

[Sammy Sofa]

MIRACLE. Thank [expletive] Christ.

[Roast]

Thank jesus.

This.

 

I don't have a problem with a player swinging at a pitch he things he can hit well early in the count.

 

That said, I did not see the pitch so I can't really comment on whether he should have swung at it or not.

 

This

 

is just an inaccurate statement. You don't just swing at any hittable pitch. Lots of pitches are hittable, but when the pitcher cannot walk you, you only swing at a drivable pitch on the first one, not just something you can put in play. That is the epitome of helping a pitcher out.

[ctcf]

Jim should be ashamed of himself.
