BYRD IS CLEARLY HURT

[Careless]

nice play.

[Old Style]

YES! Byrd + Geo = YOU'RE OUT, [expletive]! Edited May 5, 2010 by Old Style

[InconspicuousZ28]

Damn.....great play.

[NotSoSober]

Byrd has made a couple of great throws already this year, but did Soto apply the tag?

[Old Style]

Is Z giving out black guys again this season?

[JonJayCutler]

You know, just when this team starts to look like they're putting together something, they pull this [expletive]. It's happened so much already this year. They snap off a few in a row and then lose in absolutely embarrassing fashion.

 

How is down by one run on the road against their best pitcher "embarrassing fashion"? I know its the Pirates but still.

Geo never tagged him. haha

Doesn't look like it, but Cedeno never touched the plate either.

[Old Style]

Meh, Cedeno never touched the plate.

i would have liked to have seen byrd get a little more juice on that throw (he 2 hopped it,) but it's not surprising that he couldn't get a lot of force off his injured leg.

 

good throw nonetheless

It's hard to argue when you never touched home and the catcher is standing between you and the plate with the ball

Paul Malholm is [expletive] terrible and we've been leaving runners everywhere.

We've had far worse pitchers own us this year.

[erik316wttn]

what are the odds of Riot hitting a solo HR and tying the game?

[UMFan83]

This is one of those games where we probably should have won that we didn't (or might not). The pitching as usual was solid, we just can't hit worth a lick.

Bold.

His last homer was in June.

 

edit: but he had 5 last may.

Baker fly out to the track

Lee fly out to the track

Byrd fly out to the track

Dotel's ERA is hovering over 10. Please, pinch hit Fontenot for Baker.

[inari]

Swung through ball 4.

He did, but it didn't help. Font K's on ball 4.

[Careless]

the placement of the camera behind the pitcher here annoys me. Too low and too far to the right

[Ski]

How hard is it to lay off a ball almost at your head?
