Gosh, the pitcher throw to second always scares me

[Ding Dong Johnson]

yikes

[Brian]

i was going to jokingly say get Chapman up

[Ski]

Why is it so hard for pitchers to throw the ball to second? Christ.

[Tryptamine]

Why do pitchers struggle so much to throw the ball to 2B? I swear the odds of an error happening there are so much higher than 1B or 3B.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Ugg what a poor throw by Strop.

[BigSlick]

I.... don't like this

[Ski]

I mean, if you've been playing baseball your entire life, you should be able to make a throw to a base.

[shnsajax]

Anyone have stats on Strop for when the first batter gets on base?

THIS IS NOT THE BULLPEN OF DOOM WE WANTED

[BigSlick]

For gods sake

[Ding Dong Johnson]

the throw wasn't that bad. Russell should have been covering

[UMFan83]

How do you horsefeathering remove Hammel when he's cruising for fling .196 Montero?

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

And Strop ruined the scoreless inning streak.

[raw]

I feel like one of those guys could have caught that ball to 2B......of course, it was about 97 mph for no damn reason.

[Brian]

that's the Strop I like

[Tryptamine]

The throw actually went over 2B, so I really have a hard time just blaming Strop. If Russell reaches his glove out he catches the ball but he pulled back for whatever reason.

How do you [expletive] remove Hammel when he's cruising for fling .196 Montero?

 

80 pitches.

[Ski]

Now get a double play ball and don't botch it this time.

[soccer10k]

Reds have gone walk, walk and then sac bunt/error with everyone being safe because Adams couldn't throw the ball to first. So they have bases loaded, no outs in the eighth, down 5-4.

[Tryptamine]

Are you serious?

[Ski]

Are you horsefeathering kidding me?

[soccer10k]

How do you [expletive] remove Hammel when he's cruising for fling .196 Montero?

 

Yeah, with 2 outs, I'd rather just let Hammel bat since he was only at 80 pitches.

[Brian]

... and the Reds have bases loaded no outs, I'm sure nothing will come of it.

[Andy]

Oh, ok, so it's going to be that kind of rally
