Nationals @ Red Sox, Game 2

[Nathan]

What does it mean to frame a pitch?

The catcher will move his glove to the strike zone for a pitch that's not a strike to try to fool the umpire, basically.

So will Ankiel strike out in this at-bat?

But he fouled some pitches off and drove up the pitch count...like a BAWSE

[spidernat]

What does it mean to frame a pitch?

Think of the strikezone as a picture frame. The catcher will take a pitch that is very close and slightly move it into the "picture frame" and hold it there for a second to dupe the umpire and help him out a little bit.   

Edit: Nathan already answered the question.

Never a dull moment. #nats bus got stuck in parade traffic today in Boston. Davey so late bench coach Randy Knorr spoke to media instead.

Phillies lead Orioles 1-nil, top of 3rd.

[spidernat]

SF, you still in Boston?

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Damn.  Pretty nasty pitches to Lombo.

Ugh political ads. I don't care which party they're for, they all suck.

Enjoy that 1-0 lead Gio, our bats look clueless against a guy who is just back from TJ.

ehhh, the ones McCain ran comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears were kinda funny.

[ronnynat]

That is a very low pitch count for Gio. Nice.

[nats2playoffs]

aussienatsfan, has cmdterps44 given you control of the JMU Alumnus fantasy baseball team yet?  It's still unmanaged.
 

[mitlen]

Gio looked uncomfortable after the last strike out.

Yeah, I added him as a second manager.

[OldChelsea]

Orioles-Phillies now level at 1; Hudson to miss next start for Braves (bone spurs).
