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’ve always loved that “quote”. Not sure exactly what the hell it means, but it’s creative as hell

Wow.

Walk Albert to get to Ludwick. That seems to make a lot of sense to me.

Ok Luddy

time to be patient with the bases juiced. None of that swinging at balls in the dirt crap

I was thinking that

If Mather like knocked that ball down on purpose, would they call it two outs?

to be fair

it was right down the pipe, he was clearly sitting on that pitch.

and frankly Luddy has been our entire offense tonight.

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!!!!!

by GibbytheDog on Aug 3, 2008 10:47 PM EDT reply reply   0 recs

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

TLR preaches an aggressive approach in RBI situations. It’s one of the things that put Kerry Robinson in the doghouse.

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.

I bet he sucked earlier, too

When he hit a double and a homer, both on first-pitch fastballs.

but his arm is a hell of a lot better than Miles. Up 3-1 of Izturis is playing short.
