Game 92 Overflow

Trigun_001_tiny by the red baron on Comment 396 comments

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.

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.

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.

Exactly

It may not be true but he was there today, he does the pregame interviews with LaRussa, et al to find out the teams condition so he would be more than in the know than Bernie sitting in St. Louis waiting for Joe Strauss to come on his radio show.

It doesn't even make sense

He was just playing catch. You don’t really even have to grip a ball to toss it. You’re telling me it wouldn’t have been known in the exam that he couldn’t squeeze a ball. Isn’t that what he’s been doing for the past couple of weeks?

by Red in Chicago on Jul 9, 2008 9:54 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

This is inaccurate!!!

according to Bernie Milasz at 8:12 p.m., the following is the case: “My source doesn’t know where that comes from. Says there are no setbacks or unexpected developments. Waino is on a program of light throwing. Nothing has gone wrong so far.”

by Red in Chicago on Jul 9, 2008 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I wouldn't trust anything Bernie says

in general, but in this case Orel is in Philadelphia with the team and Bernie is at home eating dinner.

It was supposed to be better

already. He’ll be a month away from whenever he starts side sessions. If he can’t grip the baseball yet, that still puts him probably 6 weeks away.

No one ever said he was done for the year

but me. However, if he can’t grip the baseball yet, that means that the pulley still hasn’t healed. Until it does, they won’t know if he needs surgery on it or not.

Better soon?

When he was ‘cleared to resume throwing’ on Monday. Like I said above, if he can’t grip the baseball yet, as Orel said earlier, then he isn’t even close to throwing yet.

Does it happen elsewhere? Cause if not seems the Phils should do something about that… Like fix those pads.

by peach concrete on Jul 9, 2008 10:04 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

usually

it is a ground rule double. Except in Wrigley I think they have triples for balls stuck in Ivy.

Milwaukee is the odd park with no rule – that’s why Rios made the mistake and gave Fielder the HR.
