They hit the ball hard to RF in each at bat.

I know what you were saying but I don't buy to that theory entirely. If a hitter like Young gets a pitch he likes then he should swing and it shouldn't matter that it's the first pitch of the at bat.

But if you're thinking "big picture", you're looking fourth and fifth inning, which would likely be considerably easier if he had a higher pitch count, plus you'd get the same pitches to hit, that inning.

It's all pluses and no minuses.

Excellent to see.

OT, A-Rod's hot streak has been eclipsed by all the football action this weekend.

So you're saying let the first pitch go by even if it's right down the middle for a strike and fall behind in the count in the at bat in order to drive up his pitch count

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #34 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:24:43 pm »

ugh Jesus.. up to the pitcher.

spidernat · « **Reply #35 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:25:30 pm »

That's worth the gamble considering that there is one out already.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #36 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:26:00 pm »

wtf. That was so, so stupid. dumb call by Manny there. he essentially took the bat out of Shawn's hands

Olsen doesn't have that much control and even if he could summon it up, he'd serve up another one just like it, a few pitches later, or he'd walk you.

This strategy, btw, is very contingent upon who's pitching.

Nook with 2 walks tonight

Felipe up though

PC · « **Reply #40 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:28:21 pm »

Take a couple of pitches, Felipe!

spidernat · « **Reply #41 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:28:46 pm »

The strike zone is all over tonight.

PC · « **Reply #42 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:29:37 pm »

Just a hit, Felipe!

PC · « **Reply #43 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:30:54 pm »

Ugh...

We should have been all over Olsen, by now.

spidernat · « **Reply #44 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:31:15 pm »

leadoff single followed by a double= 0 runs Nothing new there

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #45 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:31:15 pm »

Felipe disgusts me.. He is the most unclutch player in baseball. What a disastrous inning though

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #46 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:36:29 pm »

good inning, Shawn!!

spidernat · « **Reply #47 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:37:01 pm »

sportsfan did you see what Chad Johnson just did after he scored that TD?

UMDNats · « **Reply #48 on:** September 10, 2007, 07:37:31 pm »

i dont want to say this, but i think felipe needs to be replaced. he just can't hit. and his d doesnt exactly make up for it.
hopefully guzman can play next year and belliard can play 2B..

Yes. Interesting to say the least. I'm happy because he is on my fantasy team!
