Let's stop feeding the troll with continuing the complacency lines. ;-)

[burnzy24]

Casey, that was literally over your head.

[markedman5]

not sure I've ever seen a guy swing at pitch that high.......wow casey

[craigharmann]

Yuni, just one request.....take a few pitches.....please?

[davego]

has the chatroom been discontinued?

[natronek8780]

I think Counsell should be starting at SS in game 1 tomorrow vs Karstens with JHJ at 2B. Yuni really needs at least a game off.

[Bernman23]

Yuni B and McGehee are pathetic baseball players and they are our #5 and 6 hitters. Those spots need to be fixed by the return of Weeks and promotion of Green. Stop delaying on the latter.

[jvrocksaz]

Badger Mutal!

There have been some technical difficulties, the staff is working to resolve them.

[ilovebeer]

JHJ comes through with a big hit.

[davego]

Nice! JHJ has been a heeck of a pick-up for the 'Crew. Nice job, DM!

[craigharmann]

Way to go Harriston!!!

[davego]

Thanks, obsessed.

and probably start George K. in Game 2 I'm guessing

[ilovebeer]

At least Yo is still in line for the win.

[Bernman23]

Lucroy swung at ball 3 instead of taking all the way. If he did the next pitch would have drawn a walk. Some of these hitters need to stop trying to be a hero, get on base if the pitcher is going to concede it, and trust their teammates.

 

At least Hairston was able to bail out McGehee and Yuni B after another one of their terrible AB's though.

[davego]

Why do Mets fans boo him? K-Rod got traded, he didn't ask to leave.

[ilovebeer]

That is what Met fans do.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Yeah, I don't get why he gets booed. They got rid of him.

[ilovebeer]

weather in Pittsburgh looks good for the dh tomorrow.

[Bernman23]

Angel Pagan always looks like Ted Williams against the Brewers.

[MillerBombers]

KRod diving and Prince running over to help him up is just something we are not used to seeing. This has been a flipping awesome run.

[Trowekamp]

How many RBIs would an average hitter have hitting behind Morgan / Braun / Fielder have this year? 75? 80? 90?

I'm not going to disagree about some of the bad approaches at the plate.

 

However, this line of thinking has always bothered me. When people say, "If this then it would have been this..." it indicates that they believe that the next action would be exactly the same even though the situation would have been different. This is simply not the case. Each pitch is a new event in a new situation so you never know what the pitcher would have done if the count were different before that pitch.

 

This argument is used all the time in sports for various situations and it just really bothers me... not trying to take it out on you specifically!

[Bernman23]

Break out the brooms!
