Austin should have swung at the 3-0 pitch. That was the pitch that could have advanced Church.

Yup - but you just don't see that very often - in fact, I think I've only seen it a couple of times all year ...

That first swing from Brian tells me this isn't going to end well.

Man alive - sigh ... the bottom half of our lineup is just struggling ...

Wasted leadoff double.

...We need all the runs we can get.

dang, hate to see a double go to waste

and Kearns' stupid *** costs us a run.. I am so sick of him swinging at balls thrown right at him and rolling over them to the left side. Schneider has been pretty terrible lately as well

When your team struggles with hitting as much as this one does, you have to do what you can to manufacture runs. You have to assume that a 3-0 is going to be a hittable strike that can advance the runner to third.

And you certainly can't assume that at 3-1, you're going to get a better pitch to hit.

Safe assumption - though - you could also assume that 3 straight balls would also yield a 4th ...

That's why we needed to score that leadoff double...

...Sigh

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #40:** July 17, 2007, 07:46:48 PM »

what the hell was that... no excuse at all. what did Schneider tell Redding, "throw it belt high over the inner half right where he likes it"?

wpa2629 · « **Reply #41:** July 17, 2007, 07:47:17 PM »

pence and lee are literally the only players you fear in this line up - ugh ...

wpa2629 · « **Reply #44:** July 17, 2007, 07:53:57 PM »

Well, that was unimpressive ....

They are getting far too many baserunners.

good lord nationals... just give me a freakin' heart attack every inning

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #49:** July 17, 2007, 08:04:54 PM »

whew, Redding is so awful. Him and Simontacchi have to go sooner rather than later. alright, bats time to wake up against a bad pitcher.
