So your mad at Yost when his sub paid off? Am I as confused as everyone else?

[And That]

And he just walked the pitcher...

 

In the eighth inning.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Pretty sick that Smoltz gets calls when he's HITTING.

 

Way to let the pitcher get off the hook. Stupid moron behind the plate.

 

"Give credit to Smoltz."

 

Why, Daron? Because he TOOK STRIKE THREE and got away with it? Why should he be credited for that?

[MillerBombers]

Phillies just tied the Reds 3-3.

[And That]

How about a Fielder bomb here in the 9th?

[endaround]

It was a strike.

 

Not sure why Jenkins wasn't kept in and Clark removed to improve the defense.

[TauPentaRei]

mlb.tv has no box score... no balls, no strikes... no little diamond populated by baserunners...

 

i actually have to keep score here.

 

thank goodness i am out of earshot of darron

[MillerBombers]

Great hustle by Mench there. Very nice to see.

[Bruce Ciskie]

At this pace, Smoltz will be able to pitch again on Sunday afternoon if they need him to.

 

Feel free to take a pitch, guys.

 

Nice job by Mench. Pretty heads-up to catch the infield napping there.

[Giraldo8]

OMG Turnbow?!?

[TauPentaRei]

kudos to davey nelson

 

mench is swift

 

that was the worst possible ever slide

 

turnb... whaaaa?

[iluvlamp]

sheesh...t-bow?...allrighty then

[MillerBombers]

What is going on here? Are we giving everybody chances to see if they can get back on track?

[AJAY]

Turnbow is in.

 

This should be interesting. . . . hopefully not.

[endaround]

Turnbow?

[Bruce Ciskie]

Um...where's that wall I like to smack my head into when Turnbow pitches?

 

Yikes.

 

If I cross my fingers any harder, I'll break them. C'mon 'Bow.

[Oldcity]

Wow. I guess they don't really have another great option, but a rough spot to put in Turnbow here...

[MillerBombers]

Here we go!

[Bruce Ciskie]

Way to make that payoff pitch close, Derrick.

 

So they're getting someone up in the pen now? Why not just let Shouse start the inning and relieve of us of all this pain? McCann's not going to make it up this inning no matter what happens, IIRC.

[TauPentaRei]

cue Coco anyway

[iluvlamp]

I'm trying restraint right now

That was a perfect pitch to Jones. What is up with this ump?

[Bruce Ciskie]

This is a ******* joke.

 

This umpire doesn't belong in the LLWS next week.

[AJAY]

I think it's time to pull Turnbow.
