Norris is getting squeezed.

wow. I don't even wanted to know what happened in the 1st inning. Only a 4 run deficit. Ain't too hard

Man, Norris can't find the plate right now.

That looked high

At least we're running up the pitch count.

Here comes the slider with this fourth pitch.

Couldn't take a walk. Swung at ball 4 twice

He was trying to homer to make up for his pitching

Hold 'em close guys. I gotta walk the dog.

Can't blame Jackson for swinging at the high fastball, that would have looked like a meatball to even an experienced hitter.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #185:** April 19, 2012, 08:01:19 PM »

I wasn't aware it was five balls for a walk back in 1901.

It used to be 9. Then it went gradually down over the years until it was set at 4.

Seriously? Well that explains the low walk rate all the guys had back then. Was it always three strikes?

Damn.

For one season it was 4 strikes, but mostly it always been three strikes.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #191:** April 19, 2012, 08:07:13 PM »

Thanks for the info.

I love that no matter how much you watch and study the game, there's always something to learn!

Fouls didn't count as strikes until 1901 either.

Just coming into the game....I saw they were down 5-1. Hopefully the offense can pick up. 4 runs is not much to come back from. Lets just get the guys on base and chip away at it one inning at a time. Lets go Nats!

That's why the talk about the DH (and other things) not being real baseball is ridiculous. There are so many things that are different now that it makes those pompous "purists" laughable.

Catchers didn't have shin guards tip 1905 or so.

RyanZimsKazoo · « **Reply #198:** April 19, 2012, 08:13:14 PM »

Base hit!! Alright boys!!! Just one hit at a time!
