Legged out a ground ball. Outran Pedro to the bag. -
Of course this damn game is tied. Somebody score please. I don't care which team.
-
A big part of that was DeRo's misplay in the first inning extending that one, IIRC.
-
People should realize by now that Ski is a good poster.
-
K's him on a 92 mph fastball
-
Plus you did want him to stop racking up such huge pitch counts. ;)
-
94 on ball four
-
92 on that pitch
-
Also, remember that Harden's career high in K's is like 11, which he did a few times with us, IIRC. It's not like he's always been a strikeout machine. Look at his K/IP from his first couple years. He's actually K'ing more guys this year with a more limited repertoire.

According to the reports, Harden wasn't the same pitcher right when he got him (in July). This is Rich Harden. His velocity varies from start to start. He's generally very good either way. Really? I've never heard that his velocity varies from start to start... Huh? It's pretty much been the case all year. From his start against the White Sox (for the A's), to every 2-3 starts with us where people have flipped out about his fastball being at 88-90 (from which it gradually increases to 91-92). I was one of them the first 1 or 2 times. Not gonna bother anymore.

just learn to drop those types of arguments. i did. you can't win them. no matter how right you may be.
-
not really...They have a horrible bullpen and after Santana the rotation isn't very good. They have the second best offense in the NL.
-
And yet... he's shut them down for 4 innings and 0 ER.. 3 innings ;) Good catch. I'm not paying super close attention. :oops:

lol HUSTLE

You got criticized for what? I haven't seen anyone very much opposed to Dempster starting game one. The home field thing isn't a great reason, and part of me thinks Lou, who says a lot of stuff, just threw that out there as a reason. It probably had a lot more to do with Z's inconsistencies lately, and I'm sure he didn't want to call out Z specifically.
-
Really? You guarantee it? Ward does not deserve a playoff spot over Hoffpauir... and I don't even like Hoffpauir that much. I agree.
-
80's last year just did not feel right
-
Just a random thought... I wonder if a pitcher can "feel" the difference between 89 and 92...
-
How many pitchers change speeds the way Harden does in the first place? Not many are capable of it. He's absolutely dominant with only two pitches and thrives mostly on changing speeds.
-
People freak out about Harden's velo every other start. Are we not used to the fact that this is how he pitches by now? This is a lot like the start vs. St. Louis where he said he purposely dialed it back to pitch to contact and get through innings efficiently. That game also happened to have the threat of rain looming. His last start he was in the mid-90's.

As long as it wasn't Webb and Haren, I didn't/don't care who it is. Sure, Hamels is gonna be tough but we're going to run into him at some point, most likely.
-
Those Webb and Haren worries of about a month ago are officially dead.
-
haha thats awesome
