0-22

what are you looking for there brooks?

[yfinn6]

Middle in - just above the knees.. yeah.. I can see why Conrad would take that pitch. What's he 0-fer now?

[HiAndTight]

Way to go Michael Fiers. Way to go.

 

 

Incredible. Maybe he'll give us the boost we need to start putting together some good series and a nice LITTLE run. Start out with 4 of 5, 3 of 4, make it just a little closer and see what happens.

[TURBO]

These west coast games are killing my sleep cycle.

 

[adambr2]

Conrad is the definition of an AAAA player.

[ELCABALLO45]

Late to the party but I'd like to pile on.....Weeks is a muppet. The only thing he basically can do at a major league level is walk and he swings 3-0. At this point, I'd much rather watch a Ransom type out there. Guy is picked up off the scrap heap and he's looked a million times better than Weeks has at any point this year.

 

Great game by Fiers. I know he's not really a prospect, but I was pretty excited to watch him pitch and he delivered.

 

Rickie Weeks has posted an OPS over .800 the past 3 years. He started the All Star game last year. Weeks is a muppet? What does this even mean?

[Gobias Industries]

Johnny Narron's been pushing Weeks to swing at get-me-over fastballs. Did there, missed it. My worry is that they're trying to change Weeks' approach just to get him out of the slump, and stuff like that isn't going to help. Rickie of old wouldn't swing 3-0.

He hasn't been swinging enough in hitter counts or the first pitch, so at least Narron can see there is a major problem with his approach. Weeks the last 2 years was much better at not letting the best fastball go by in his ab's. Outside of the period where he was diving over the plate, not being aggressive enough has been Weeks' main problem this year.

 

Also, Conrad makes Weeks look like Ted Williams up there. Feel bad for the guy.

[TURBO]

might have gotten a gift on that one K-Rod...That looked low to me.

[TURBO]

Is Maldanado known as a hitter? Dude can surely play defense...

[jjkoestler]

Great game, Mr. Fiers. I love the emotion. Probably my favorite game of the season so far.

[crewcrazy]

Maldonado is your typical all-defense, no-bat catcher. I'd be surprised if he hits much better than Wil Nieves did last year, but he'll be an asset defensively -- you only have to look at the framejob he just did on that Herrera K looking, or the rocket he fired to first on Kemp's dribbler in front of home.

[RWeeksFan23]

might have gotten a gift on that one K-Rod...That looked low to me.

Even if it was, it makes up for the 2-2 curveball that looked like strike three.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Is Maldanado known as a hitter? Dude can surely play defense...

 

He's known for his D. Didn't really hit well at all until the last few seasons. Either way, he's definitely a major league catcher at this point, as a backup though.

[jjkoestler]

Quickest K-Rod inning ever.

[TURBO]

ok, nice job K-Rod, next up, the Axford tightrope...

[PrinceEatMeat]

Yes! Nice work K-Rod! Clean inning for a change. Good to see.

[ninja33]

These west coast games are killing my sleep cycle.

 

 

same here. although a relatively early start and a quick game tonight for once (so far) have been nice.

[crewcrazy]

Huge to make sure Kemp bats with nobody on base.

[Gobias Industries]

not sure how you can call that an error. smoked.

[TURBO]

Would love to get that run in right here Taylor!!!!!!

 

Would be HUGE!

[PrinceEatMeat]

Since Hart and now Braun have almost gotten hurt, what's the next injury gonna be? Fiers gets blinded by the shaving cream pie after the game?

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Anyone else get a little scared when Braun slid late into second? Thought he was gonna pull a Jenkins there.

[TURBO]

crap.

 

ok, here we go...

 

I miss the days when AX was automatic...

[ELCABALLO45]

No way they give Braun a hit on that IN LA.
