Balls fly further, of course, in the warmer and more humid temperatures as we enter summer.

But much easier for a pitcher to warm up and stay warm, too. They should be throwing free and easy. And there's nothing hot about tonight in Pittsburgh.

It's humid which is worse than the heat.

I think having Ian Desmond and the current incarnation of Danny Espinosa in the lineup regularly is the problem. Bunting, not so much.

They probably need to compensate for the coriolis effect

Once again, LaRoche isn't getting anything to hit with Danny on deck.

League average HR/9
Jackson HR/9

That doesn't really contradict anything he's said, and even if it did it's not like it'd matter. Move on with your life man.

lol i heard someone make a crack at Espinosa in the on deck circle about ESPN being in his last name.

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #463 on:** May 08, 2012, 08:32:19 pm »

So will Espinosa strike out swinging or looking?

aussienatsfan · « **Reply #464 on:** May 08, 2012, 08:32:20 pm »

There are actually quite a few qualifying batters with lower BA than Espinosa and that's surprising.

They've seem to be "laboring" a lot now that the temperatures are starting to rise.

I don't know that I buy into that. If so though, the summer is going to be a nag on them.

In the year 2012 we will make contact.

Roll over that fastball, Danny. Nice two pitch AB.

69 pitches through 6 for Burnett

AWFUL

Dear MASN, never again with that camera angle.
