I don't care what the numbers say, swinging at the first pitch is a bad idea.

Git er Dunn!

Wow, that was low as crap.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #529 on:** May 09, 2009, 12:22:22 am »

crap, little low but he really needs to stop taking so many fastballs for called strikes.

No way we win this game. No way.

Ridiculous strike zone on that count. There were about 2-3 pitches that should've been balls that were called strikes.

freak this ump.

ronnynat · « **Reply #532 on:** May 09, 2009, 12:22:36 am »

Come on, whoever the freak is closing!!

I'd give us a 45% chance and the D'backs a 55% chance.

96 and high tough to square up

The Chief · « **Reply #535 on:** May 09, 2009, 12:23:39 am »

All 3 of those strikes seemed like bullcrap to me, but esp. that last one

PC · « **Reply #536 on:** May 09, 2009, 12:24:27 am »

That homeplate umpire must have money on the Diamondbacks.

EdStroud · « **Reply #537 on:** May 09, 2009, 12:24:34 am »

Its Kipper to close it

If he didn't take he'd strike out more and walk less, and then you'd be riding his ass even harder

no seriously, lately he has taken far too many fastballs down the middle. usually he crushes those pitches.

Matt Williams on the Dbacks broadcast said he thought Byrnes would go. Said Tavarez isn't great at holding runners on and should have been able to get a good jump and "sneak attack".

Wow, he's incredibly stupid, people rarely try to steal on Julian.

The Chief · « **Reply #541 on:** May 09, 2009, 12:25:38 am »

Can anyone in our pen throw strikes???

PC · « **Reply #542 on:** May 09, 2009, 12:25:41 am »

Manny shouldn't have made defensive substitutions.

Coladar · « **Reply #543 on:** May 09, 2009, 12:25:53 am »

I just got home from seeing Star Trek, but this is why Manny needs to go. What the fing hell is Kip Wells doing in a 9th inning one run game after last night? F you Manny.

EdStroud · « **Reply #544 on:** May 09, 2009, 12:25:55 am »

Harris should be LF
Dukes in Center

Dude, none of those pitches were down the middle. They were barely strikes at all.

houston-nat · « **Reply #546 on:** May 09, 2009, 12:26:10 am »

Great, a walk?

Well at least the terrible calls are going both ways.

Not intentionally. Strikes for this bullpen are purely happenstance.
