In this thread earlier...did someone seriously say Gross is in better shape then Kapler?

 

That I would beg to differ... Kapler could outrun Gross anyday...

[trwi7]

Wow that was an awful call.

[SeriesFinale]

Blech, opportunity lost

 

Won't get many more of those with Hamels

[iluvlamp]

That was a ball..

[JrDave2304]

Here comes that inability to tack on runs (well in this case grab the lead) when they have the chance.

Way to take advantage of that situation, 2 on with the heart of the order up and a pop-up is our best AB.

[trwi7]

That pitch was further outside than the one he called a ball.

[adambr2]

Terrible. That wasn't close to being a strike.

 

Regardless, getting 1st and 2nd with nobody out and your 2-3-4 coming up and not even moving them anywhere isn't going to beat Hamels.

In this thread earlier...did someone seriously say Gross is in better shape then Kapler?

 

I said he's taller & more athletic.

 

 

That CB from Hamels was sick. Nice to see Fielder calmly get an explanation/talk it over.

[JrDave2304]

Wow....that was an awful call on that Prince K.

 

I love it when they bust out that camera angle.

[JJHardy7]

The calls don't even really matter to a certain degree. 2 on with zero outs and zero runners advanced is the main point. It was a bad pitch to Prince, but you can't really win too many close games when you don't take advantage of 2 guys one with zero outs. They were pretty solid in that regard early on so hopefully it's just a fluke.

[SeriesFinale]

OK, Bush...

[trwi7]

Bush implosion. Soebody throw something at the umpire. He's just awful.

[TSack27]

Wow that was an awful call.

Bill sounds in mid-season form calling out the very questionable strike zones. Gameday seems to be much more accurate this year, and it had that pitch 4" further outside than the pitch called a ball earlier in the same at bat.

 

[Bernman23]

Classic Dave Bush. Get spotted a multiple run lead and start serving up some taters. Play like a winner today.

[sheetswannabe]

Hey Bush, you stink.

[iluvlamp]

This game is junk

[HurricaneBraun]

!!%+#!

[JrDave2304]

He does like the goose egg.

 

Bush is just begging for those to be hit out of the park. He hung both of those up there.

[JJHardy7]

How many pitches has Bush thrown? Hamels?

[adambr2]

It matters to the extent that we can't teach our guys proper plate discipline if they keep getting hosed like that. I'm really sick of that crap, call the game right. Reed saw the pitch, had a little moment, reacted immediately, and he's just flat-out not doing his job.

[burniebrewer]

Here it comes....typical Bush.

[trwi7]

Jesus now Bush is getting squeezed. Call it consistently you ass!

[TSack27]

How many pitches has Bush thrown? Hamels?

 

78 & 76 starting the 6th, add about 10 more already this inning to Bush's count
