Smoltz pitch count up to 60!

Smoltz has struggled even with getting every single freaking call from the ump and Traber's bad running error. Very good hitting by us tonight

Very nicely done - even with the huge gaff - still capitolized - braves pen already up and throwing - ok Billy, time for redemption ... shut em down ...

On the Braves board, they are saying that West the ump is screwing Smoltz. They are blind, Traber isn't getting half the calls Smoltz is.

Wow... did we go through the entire lineup that inning?

wpa2629 · « **Reply #55:** August 16, 2006, 07:59:53 PM »

Does anybody have any idea where the strike zone is tonight??

The Chief · « **Reply #56:** August 16, 2006, 08:00:40 PM »

stupid longhands forcing 9 pitches on that strikeout :x

PC · « **Reply #57:** August 16, 2006, 08:00:43 PM »

That was a 9-pitch at-bat for Langerhans. :x

Go get him Billy!

Thanks John again. 1 pitch, 1 out. He is helping us out tonight for sure

That's always the way it is...it's all according to your perspective.

Well, it was followed up by a quickie out for the pitcher!

wpa2629 · « **Reply #62:** August 16, 2006, 08:01:53 PM »

NICELY DONE BILLY!!! All is forgiven

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #63:** August 16, 2006, 08:02:26 PM »

Nice inning Billy! Our starting pitching (minus Ortiz) has been great as of late.

The Chief · « **Reply #64:** August 16, 2006, 08:02:34 PM »

Smoltz and Giles felt so bad about Longhands' 9-pitch at bat that they decided to help Billy out

And a quickie out to Giles.

Frankly, I think that both clubs have gripes ... there is no consistency to this strike zone at all for either pitcher ... the worst of all scenarios ...

PC · « **Reply #67:** August 16, 2006, 08:03:49 PM »

Ok, let's score a few more runs and lay another 30 pitches on Smoltz!

I give Ortiz a pass - he's been the most consistent pitcher all year - he gets a bad outing - Billy looking good - good clutch hitting ... nicely done so far tonight

wpa2629 · « **Reply #69:** August 16, 2006, 08:04:21 PM »

Time to knock Smoltz out right here ...

From the Braves board:

Quote

Just show your bias, West. Don't be afraid. My goodness.

I hate you Joe West and I hope you get fired. You better not be doing the postseason this year because you don't deserve it.

Quote

JOE WEST YOU DO NOT WAIT TEN MINUTES TO MAKE A CALL! THAT IS BS! THAT WAS NOT A STRIKE EITHER! GET OFF THE FIELD, JOE!

That's total BS!

wpa2629 · « **Reply #71:** August 16, 2006, 08:05:55 PM »

My goodness ... this ump is all over the place ...

The Chief · « **Reply #72:** August 16, 2006, 08:08:23 PM »

That 4-0 is already making me wonder who's going to be pitching in the 9th

PC · « **Reply #73:** August 16, 2006, 08:08:29 PM »

Come on Bernie, get a hit here so we don't start the next inning with the pitcher!

wpa2629 · « **Reply #74:** August 16, 2006, 08:08:39 PM »

Castro, coming to play!
