meh, kind of have to take the bad with the good when it comes to aggressive baserunning.

Pretty much. When you're aggressive, you're going to have some annoying innings like this.

[Guest]

joe, this pitcher is garbage. stop trying to squeeze out single runs in the 1st inning.

[Guest]

whoa, that was close to being dropped by Dexter

[Ram1380]

[expletive] .....What a waste

 

That first strike to KB looked like a joke BTW......be nice to see Jon get that corner with his fastball...let alone a breaking pitch that was never in the zone like that.

 

Also....Damn....Fowler scares the shizz out of me on some of those catches.

[Gilby]

I didn't like that send of Rizzo. Not with a flyball/strikeout hitter up.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

you can be both aggressive and smart... 8-)

It took a really aggressive play by Parra to get Fowler. He was out by a decent margin, but I can definitely see why he thought he had a chance.

 

I have to say that I totally disagree.

Groundball pitcher on the mound, though.

Hahaha.

[Guest]

Lester not as sharp with location this inning.

[Guest]

As if there were any lingering doubt, it is safe to say that Ross is Lester's personal catcher.

[Ram1380]

Atta boy Jon

 

2 scoreless to start....NICE

[Guest]

Considering he loaded the bases that inning, 32 pitches through 2 isn't all that bad for Lester.

Nah, it's just coincidence. You have to use all three catchers every once and a while.

[Ram1380]

Time to pick up the boy from school....

 

Celebrate us some runs in my absence NSB brethren.

The hope is that once he's settled in they'll test the waters with Miggy at some point. But yeah. Sigh.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Starlin w/ a .368 BABIP coming into today...what's his LD %? Seems he's constantly hitting grounders, w/ plenty getting through the infield.

It's humorous that they deny it so vehemently.

[Banedon]

Gameday makes it look like Ross should've had a 4 pitch walk.

[Guest]

Ross not swinging at all may be his best approach to hitting.

I wonder if it weren't for the early struggles if they'd have given it a shot yet.

[Guest]

Does Lester get a hit before Bryant gets a dong?

[Careless]

Lester will get a hit this year.

[Guest]

Well, that's sort of a hit for Lester

[Banedon]

Well that's a pretty early sac bunt.
