Watching all those warmup pitches earlier came back to bite FSN

They'll just have to take it the other way until they start seeing it better

Man
watching the Pirates feed for the last 2 nights has been depressing.

I considered transcribing some of the especially pathetic moments from last
They’re really drowning over there.

we might need to put them
on suicide watch. I think Harry Doyle was more interested in the games.

All these walks make me feel bad for Steve Blass
Imagine being reminded of the end of your career every. single. game.

I missed seeing his weird bird-footed trot

Automatic ball for going to his mouth
Fun.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
So I'm watching Gameday
And what the hell is an automatic ball? I’ve never seen that before.
You can't put your hand to your mouth while you're on the mound

Only thing I can think of is that they called that because they thought...
…the pitcher got his fingers too wet and was trying to throw a spit ball.
I think you'd get thrown out after the second one

More excellent baserunning from Hardy

Ah baseball
You almost learn a new rule every day.
Probably has to do with ball tempering
Spitballs and such.
No tempering
As in heating up to high temperatures in order to harden the metal components of the ball.
Is almost learning something like a...

Enjoy the record-setting loss, my friend.

Why doesn't

YOU SHUT UP!

I don't think Morgan is a very good outfielder
But he’s fast enough to make up for it most of the time.

I just remember hearing he didn't take very good routes
But if you’ve got his speed I guess it doesn’t really matter.

Downright Bocockian

Kendall = Jake Taylor?
I’ve yet to see the grittiest of gritty plays from him: the catcher’s bunt single.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
So, Mitch Stetter
How are we feeling about this?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
I'm not particularly scared

9 pitch walk
Not great.. but shows a bit more pitching skill than a 4 pitch walk.
Trevor Hoffman's got to get to 600 somehow

That's a nice way of looking at it
Plus, we’re still up by, what, 3?

"It's a new ballgame here in Pittsburgh"
Uh, we’re still up by three, dude.

Hey, I made it back by the end of the game!
I’ve been listening, but unable to leave dinner company to be a part of the thread.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Your company
Was it Lucy Pinder again?
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"

I might also add how odd it is that we both showed up at about the same time...
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"

I don't know who Lucy Pinder is
But Mac and Cheese Tuesday was a big hit with the ladies, again.

Eight bazillion (roughly) three-ball counts by every pitcher
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
...
lots of pitching changes, hits, and walks.
I think Big Z just showed
that hitting pitchers, especially aces, shouldn’t really pinch hit very often.
He's warming up right now

bad thing about having Hoffman as the closer
can’t use him every time you need him
"my goodness"
by BrewHaHeather on May 5, 2009 9:32 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah
3 run leads are converted about 95% of the time. No need to push Hoffman. I would rarely use a designated closer with a 3 run lead in the ninth if I were to manage.
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
95% they are converted
4% it’s the Nationals bullpen.
Also, cheese.

I think the Indians deserve at least 2% to themselves
Have you seen their bullpen ERAs?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
By both teams?
30 in the AL, 26 in the NL.
Most by one team is 18 in the AL, 17 in the NL.

Sedar is the last person I’d expect to have such hot pants.
Well, maybe not exactly, but he’s up there.

Although, in fairness
The cheesehead actually debuted at County Stadium for Brewers games.
Still pro-Cameron
But Ron Gant is happy
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Nope.
Don’t warm Hoffman unless you’re sure you’ll need him. Coffey should be up if he struggles.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Julio!
He has to get save #100 sometime.

The Marlins had a game with under 1000 present a couple years ago
I think a fan got thrown out by an umpire for heckling.

And one of the players uttered an obscenity
It got picked up live by the on-field mics because it was so dead.

I had to read that twice.

You had to bring up the umpires, eh?

Arroyo vs. Parra. And Owings vs. Looper
