  1. what part of fouling off lots of pitches doesn't include making contact this is good, real good
  2. let's go back to your mindblowing advice that hitters should try to make contact against his pitches, this is real good stuff hey guys, try and score a couple of runs while you're at it thanks see ya next week
  3. strasburg's miss percentage is like 45%, these hitters need to learn to swing the bats better i guess????
  4. you should call these professional teams and offer them this groundbreaking advice "hey you know that guy with 8 unhittable pitches, well just start making lots of contact against him, yep just mail me the check or i have this paypal account hello hello hello?"
  5. What, me take a paycut? Not a chance. Yeah right
  6. I didn't get to see the whole game, but were there other calls where they hounded him for an explanation? Referees are used to calling games with languages they don't know, there isn't a ton of verbal interaction on the field. I have it on good authority that Coulibaly was asked in both English and French what the call was on the field. French is one of his fluent languages. And he still refused. I've watched that portion of the game a hundred times, and Coulibaly was going to call a foul on the play no matter what. He had the whistle in his mouth before Donovan was given the go ahead to kick it. Not sure if he was issuing a makeup call for a weak free kick call, or if he just decided the USA shouldn't win this game, but he was going to call a foul. The whistle blew before Edu touched it. Yeah, the whistle blew while the ball was on its way in, he was planning on making a call the entire time. It was just a coincidence that the ball got put in. If it had been cleared out, the players would have thrown their hands in the air and said "what the hell" and then play would have continued like normal.
  7. or give up a single to the first batter, either way... 7 IP, 1 R, 10 k's Another strong performance. just 85 pitches
  8. Lost in all this... We are still going to advance, and bradley's goal was one of the most thrilling sporting events i've witnessed recently.
  9. unless "striking the ball with your foot" is a foul, it pretty much had to be Can't watch any video while I'm at work, so just trying to throw out info. i wasnt trying to be shitty, just still in disbelief
  10. unless "striking the ball with your foot" is a foul, it pretty much had to be
  11. i went to a vuvuzela concert and a soccer match broke out
  12. dammit, forgot we can't say ruhtard
  13. Except it's something that's done in every game. It's pandering. said by someone who has watched 2 soccer games in 4 years i mean, i get what youre doing, and i can give respect player to player, but you're a [expletive]
  14. Would you prefer the bow/courtsey? I'd prefer nothing. It's silly. they're clapping to the fans, [expletive]
  15. This set piece worries me
  16. That's Donovan experience coming through! Put it right at his face!
  17. it's just lack of patience. We did get a nice chance out of a Bradley long ball before Slovenia scored their second, though
  18. you bring that many forward and whiff 2 or 3 times in a row, you open yourself up for a counterattack
  19. Awesome shot of a little African kid repeatedly kicking his friend in the back until he fell over, then throwing a stick at someone
  20. Love seeing ronaldhino on that commercial. Wonder what he thinks when he sees it from his couch
  21. hard to pretend Slovenia isn't a tough tough squad at this point. Outside of maybe the top 5, FIFA rankings mean very little
  22. Quite a flop by Andy samberg there
  23. *fart*
  24. I'm not a fan of findley, but maaaan what a [expletive] call
  25. We're not going to lose to a squad that wears black shoes with white socks
