10/18: Beckett Between Us And Elimination

[ORS]

Game 1, as I recall it, featured a decent sized strikezone. I think the favors Beckett who has been close when he fell behind, and has been close trying to punch people out. Shields has been a little more out of the zone with his misses.

[The Dustball]

3-0 counts need to be capitalized on.

[Cocos Disciples]

Good time for your first ALCS hit, Tek.

[Dojji]

Take the walk, Jed, jeeze!

[ORS]

Wow, didn't realize Tek was oh'fer in the series.

[MANNYHOF24]

Wow, could Tek play any worse in this series?

[riverside sluggers]

At least Shields is up to 80 pitches

[Cocos Disciples]

80 pitches through 3 2/3 for Big Gay Al.

 

Nice, Coco. 2 out rally please.

Still o fer the series. Bout time to go all-Cash IMHO.

[msubulldogs21]

Nice Coco.

 

STEAL

[MANNYHOF24]

Coco, has been paying major dividens.

[a700hitter]

Shields is working faster now. he's getting in a rhythm. The hitters need to step out a few times. Nice hit by Coco

[Dojji]

Well done, Coco.

[Cocos Disciples]

Technically, no. You could throw a rock or a decently sized stick up there and even it might walk once.

[ORS]

It was very close, close enough to protect with 2 strikes.

[Dojji]

Nice Coco.

 

STEAL

 

After the pickoff, not sure that'll happen. Coco doesn't want to be fooled again.

Eh, one pickoff cant discourage you from running with your best speed assset.

[riverside sluggers]

Still o fer the series. Bout time to go all-Cash IMHO.

 

Better arm, and at this stage he has the superior bat

[Cocos Disciples]

Err, what exactly is that graphic they show whenever someone is on 1st? Is that a 9? For what?

[MANNYHOF24]

Damn.

[msubulldogs21]

It's how many feet they're leading off the base.

[riverside sluggers]

Shields is lucky its just 2 runs in 4 innings

[Cocos Disciples]

Bummer, but he has 87 pitches through 4. If we have a good 20 pitches, he should be done through 5.

[MANNYHOF24]

Huge inning for Beckett here.

[Dojji]

Let's see how Becks has weathered the layoff.

[ORS]

It's 9 feet. Don't ask why it's 9, if forced to guess I'd say that's the average base stealer's lead. Really, it's just a baseline to let you know how big the leadoff is relative to other runners.

[Cocos Disciples]

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up guys.

 

Nice, quick out. Youk calls balls quite loud.

[Dojji]

Quick out.

[riverside sluggers]

Damn that was a nice curve, but it was called a ball

[Dojji]

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up guys.

 

Nice, quick out. Youk calls balls quite loud.

 

Youks does everything loud. Right down to his batting stance. Mom told me once she thought Youks was trying to seduce the pitcher with that wiggle of his..
