Ball one and strike three to Aoki were the EXACT same pitch. He should be on first with a walk right now.

Fx said they were borderline so I won't complain.

Fx said they were borderline so I won't complain.

I guess the point I was trying to make is that Aoki would chose not to swing at strike 3 because the exact same pitch was called a ball earlier in the count. the ump is supposed to be consistent. Fx doesn't really factor into that.

Man Estrada gives up a lot of homers. Pitching well but can't dodge the long ball.

Two pitches before the homer, the "Scout" thing on MLB Gameday said, "That was pitch number 45 for Marco Estrada; his effectiveness may start slipping, as he holds opposing hitters to a .161 average in the first 45 pitches but they hit .291 off him after that."

Congrats to Ryan Braun on career hit # 1,000!!

markedman5 · July 21, 2012

I guess Bailey was due to shut us down.

Have a game Ransom

Estrada has given up at least 1 HR in every game he has started this year. He needs to be in the pen next year.

xisxisxis · July 21, 2012

so glad we squeezed that 7th inning out of estrada......

pebadger · July 21, 2012

Well, he'd be in the pen this season if not for injuries to other guys. I think Marco is a fairly competent #5 starter. He's probably gonna take a loss tonight again that's as much on everybody else as it is on him. If the team had any kind of bullpen he should have been out after six with a very high quality start to his credit.
