Bob wasn't talking about the ribs

"Oh, baby!  That'll warm your night.  Look at that rack!"

Now we're depending on the non-Clippard, not-Capps part of the bullpen.

I think they are both off

He definitely wasn't talking about Debbi Taylor either.

[DPMOmaha]

Slaten should be back out there...is he?

gulp.

It seems a lot of the NPB pitchers have the hesitation in their delivery.  Takahashi looked like he kicked his leg twice in his motion.

Slaten might not be a disaster.

[ronnynat]

Scary matchup right here.

[DPMOmaha]

Yes!

[houston-nat]

She is always around for the creampies to the face

Agreed, most of them do.  The hesitation is a staple of Asian pitchers.

[KnorrForYourMoney]

okay, but his control isn't good so far

[DPMOmaha]

Here's your seventh inning audition, Doug.

[natsfan4evr]

Time to solidify your spot in the pen Dougie boy

[shoeshineboy]

Probably judged that it wasn't high enough so that it wasn't guaranteed that a fielder could get under it comfortably. Also, even if they had on an infield fly runners move at their own peril so he still freaked up. Of course he probably would not have tried it if he had heard the umpire call infield fly.

Right. Even if it was high enough the ump may not have reacted quickly enough. Regardless, Wright was clearly off on contact and would have been in the same position whether the ump called the infield fly or not. That all happened too fast. Wright was stopping in his tracks before Zim even caught the ball.
