Why is everyone acting up against Volquez? He threw a high inside pitch on a bunt attempt, which is what he's supposed to do. He even apologized to Balester when he was walking to 1st.

People love to hate, man. I think it's all the losing.

That'll work CG! Phillips freaked up.

What was Phillips doing? Too much hesitation, now we might be able to get another one.

I can't wait to finish this inning, just to look at Ballester throw from the mound to see if he's ok...

Isnt etiquette just to let the pitcher bunt? I mean you can throw a breaking ball, but a brushback is a little uncalled for

Belliard singled to left center, Bernadina scored, Balester to third, Lopez to second.

Guzman reached on fielder´s choice to second, Balester scored, Lopez to third, Belliard out at second.

Nationals 2

I consider it all the DL we have, i dont want to lose Balester who can become a stud starter.

Volquez is a P.O.S. He carries himself like he is a 5-time Cy Young winner when in fact he has had a horrible career other than the first-half of this season. Balester has to get even and plunk that punk in the head next inning.

hammondsnats · « **Reply #112 on:** July 06, 2008, 01:52:32 pm »

Let's go AK25! Let's continue to get to Volquez.

Balester totally pwned Volquez by scoring the second run.

Did you notice that he loaded the bases? He's possibly just off right now.

I don't agree with "baseball etiquette" anyways...you get paid to win the ball game - not be a gentleman

MrMadison · « **Reply #115 on:** July 06, 2008, 01:53:04 pm »

I'll take that.

Maybe he is anticipating an announcement in ten minutes as well?

I've never heard of that. You throw high and in to force a bad bunt.

That'd definitely motivate him, too.

He cant hit anything for a strike right now, movement on your balls doesnt always work to your advantage.

I kinda got a little carried away with the etiquette thing. I'm not normally one for it anyway, but coming inside on a pitcher seems like a little much.

Yea Don, hes angry at him also lol

IF it is done on purpose, I agree. I don't think that was the case, though.
