Rizzo's really squared the ball twice, nice to see

[George Hayduke]

Nice AB, Riz!

I mean, I can understand how the rhythm of throwing to first while pitching can be awkward...but wtf, that was like little league air-mailing.

 

The yips is nightmarish. I don't recommend it.

Soler is a damn mutant.

Has to be 'your' not 'you're' to make it authentic

[Omar]

This teem FEELS different.

Lester should practice throwing to 1st between innings instead of the plate.

I'm not drinking by the second inning so far this season, so that's good.

[DiamondMind]

Len and JD starting the Lester excuses already

The sideline girl seemed on the verge of having a heavy burtation throughout her whole report

the biggest difference for me is that i'm actually watching the baseball games rather than just cruising over to see the box score after looking through the minor league box scores first.

Maybe Maddon can talk Lester into letting Montero catch his next start instead of Ross to see if that works better

[DiamondMind]

Lester's velocity seems down from his last start.

Read my mind. But I was against the Ross signing to begin with.

I can kind of understand when pitchers struggle throwing to bases on a bunt when you're in a rush, but pick offs shouldn't be that hard.

I always struggled with the pickoff move to third (as a righty). I think my problem was trying to be too deceptive, making it a more difficult throw than it needed to be. Of course I wasn't a very good pitcher to begin with, but I can understand how that particular pickoff move could be more difficult than a standard throw.

Yes Sir.

 

Game extending RBI Single...2 run gw homer with game on the line...fall behind 3-0 only to go out, single, homer, double, single to tie it.

[OleMissCub]

Dead meat

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I think Ross got him!

[ctcf]

Good call on the challenge

[Vanilla Ice]

looks safe to me

I will yell at those replay folks tomorrow Edited April 14, 2015 by ctcf

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The great thing about replay is that we can streamline it so it doesn't break up the game too much, and it eliminates controversial plays because we can be sure they got it right.

[DiamondMind]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Gilby]

Replay is stupid if it takes 5 minutes and if you're still going to value the live, full-speed call more.

[DiamondMind]

Lester is so pissed off.
