So Fister is now a fly ball pitcher and Tommy Milone is a ground ball/strikeout guy?

Geez, I wish we had some guys who worked the count like this. Let's trade Desi to Oakland

Norris was struck out. Umpire gives him a break and of course he singles.

Norris would look good in a Nats uniform. damn.

I like the As hitting approach. Theyre just pros in their ABs.

The Braves really moved Alex Wood to the bullpen? wow. He's pitching the 10th right now in a tie game.

Here's our fantastic home plate umpire:

Quote

Part of Gary Cederstrom's job as a home-plate umpire is to keep track of the count for every batter, no matter what the scoreboard or any television graphic might indicate. But last night, with Adam Dunn batting with two outs and no one on in the bottom of the fourth, Cederstrom apparently got caught up in the moment of a forgettable late-September game between the Blue Jays and White Sox. Which is to say, he let his mind wander.

According to the on-screen graphic at the start of the video, the count was 3-1. But one of the WGN broadcasters said it was 2-1. After he swung and missed, Dunn can be seen telling Cederstrom he thought the count had become full, after which another one of the WGN announcers agreed. Everyone was confused. So Cederstrom got on a dugout phone and found someone who'd been paying attention to tell him what the count was. (Answer: 3-2).
