Game 92 Overflow

Lewishine_newsiespic-close_tiny by the red baron on

Well, that certainly wasn't an outcome I had on my list.

I won't be around later, so if one of the other editors could keep an eye out if another overflow is needed, it would be greatly appreciated.

Even the big-time homer Phillie announcers

thought the Cardinals got hosed twice this inning.

man...

Glaus is the most unlucky 0-21 I think I’ve ever seen.

he’s had his fair share of bad calls in that stretch

Glaus is hitting the shit out of the ball right into gloves

and the umpiring is downright embarassing

Announcers never call out bad officiating

It’s one of the reasons why it has become so acceptable. If the media would rip these guys for their incompetence more, there might be more of an impetus for change.

I wanna give credit where it's due

Whoever called that 3-1 pitch to Ludwick. Luddy was 3-1 in the second ABas well, and Happ threw him a breaking ball, which he swung through. Then in that 3rd AB, on 3-1 the announcers were saying he’d be swinging for the fences, but he was cognizant of the breaking pitch and was late on the fastball. Excellent pitching strategy IMO

Also, to people talking about how much movement Brad's had on his sinker tonight

Could it be because he didn’t really get much of an opportunity to warmup? Kinda like how sinkerballers are more effective on short rest?

Also, would someone please grab that ball at the wall?! Rick and Luddy both looked like they didn’t want to get it, sigh…

shortrest

is a worn-out arm effect. That’s why sinkers are usually more effective later in game. I’d think that goes against short warmup.

by enoscountry on Jul 9, 2008 9:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Just tossing it out there

Maybe inadequate warming up gave him the same effect?

I think the effect is more mental with Thompson

at least that’s Tony’s complaint with him.

I remember that Florida game – didn’t he pitch 3HRs in a row and then hit a guy.

Maybe the unexpected start put the pressure off.
