nice ground out

by the most feared pinch hitter in the game

On with the (good) youth movement!

Just to clarify for Joe Morgan

the balk was called because the pitcher stepped toward home plate.

In the world I see--you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Luddy, you suck.

Ludwick, why are you such a free swinger? Why couldn’t you take the first pitch? I mean, the guy’s thrown 4 straight balls, and all you gotta do is take it for a ball, then he gets nervous and throws you a hanging, get-my-over curveball that you hit into Big Mac Land?? AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

think maybe he was trying to or even ordered to throw those 4 balls?

Are you fucking serious?

You’re bitching about a guy who has a double and a hr, and has been pounding the ball the entire past week?

Who cares if it was four straight balls, that was purposeful, it was to Albert Fucking Pujols. Like they are going to give him a stroke

The ball was down the pipe, if he didn’t swing then that’s when you bitch, not for that.

Yet another first pitch disaster

How many times have we seen that this year. We’ve had the patience to get a lot of walks early but when th game is on teh line late we’re first pitch hacking and invariably, first pitch “outing”. Madsen just throws 4 balls, granted it’s to APu. Ludwick was overeager. Maybe he felt that Madsen would try to hard to make a strike after the four balls. But so what, take a pitch, make him pitch to you….

TLR needs to institute a fine for this.

Well, if you really think about it...

The last time Luddy swung at the first pitch, he hit one 410 feet. Since he’s just thrown four balls, that’s exactly why he’s swinging, because he knows that he’ll throw a get-me-over meatball at about 90 mph,so he can hammer it again. That’s acually a good decision.

a belt high fastball almost same location as the hr earlier. after simmering on it, you cannot fault him for that was a gift for a fan in the stands; he just got too excited and missed it. its a shame though that he made such poor contact and after that glaus hr it hurts more cause he couldn’t get a base hit or sac fly
