i have to imagine when it's cold and you haven't pitched in forever (plus it's early in the year), getting your best changeup grip is the most difficult of all pitches.

speaking of beachballs, did Jason Bergmann retire? His BR page says "final game" and doesn't have any stats for 2011 in the majors or the minors.

McCatty/Ramos have that under control now, it seems

His contract was voided, he signed with the Sawx but he had a pre-existing injury. Ouch . . .

Aside from the walk and the jack, he's having a pretty good game so far. Stupid ump

gorzelanny at 44 pitches after two innings. he may be lucky to make it through 5.

good idea dessie, go the other way with that

mitlen · « **Reply #143:** April 09, 2011, 07:55:53 PM »

Make the change Riggs.

hammondsnats · « **Reply #144:** April 09, 2011, 07:55:56 PM »

so he gets the low strike, we don't get the inside strike.

freak this ump.

that was right down the dick how do you not swing at that?

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #146:** April 09, 2011, 07:56:16 PM »

Stupid ump. If Gameday is even close to accurate, those are some bad strike calls.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #147:** April 09, 2011, 07:56:26 PM »

Why does he ID keep taking strike 3 down the middle? All fastballs too. He's looking for the wrong thing

hammondsnats · « **Reply #148:** April 09, 2011, 07:57:12 PM »

surprised they didn't call that one a strike

Given that Gorzelanny came from a team where the pitching coach believed in actually burning the pitchers' arms and not part of our stable of babies on pitch counts, I would hope Riggleman won't feel the need to treat him like Mark Prior. Of course, at this point, I'd be happy just to see the starter not get yanked due to performance.
