One more strike...

[a700hitter]

It's hard to walk Encarnacion. You have to try hard to do that.

[Dipre]

C-Buc's arm slot is all over the place from stretch.

[Dojji]

No more full counts plzkthx

[BSN07]

Ok he got out of that mess

[schillingouttheks]

Out of it. Thank God.

 

He needs to throw first-pitch strikes more, but he limited the damage. Overall a decent job to get out of it.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Stretch. Learn to pitch from it.

[Dojji]

Gutsy inning for Buck, he's starting to be able to make tough pitches while in a jam.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

What's Halladay's pitch count right now?

[schillingouttheks]

Gutsy inning for Buck' date=' he's starting to be able to make tough pitches while in a jam.[/quote']

 

If he can start more batters with strike 1, he'll be a lot better at getting out of these pinches.

[Dojji]

What's Halladay's pitch count right now?

 

88

[suns]

What's buch pitch count?

[Dipre]

Gutsy inning for Buck' date=' he's starting to be able to make tough pitches while in a jam.[/quote']

 

Gutsy innings mean nothing if he can't pitch from the stretch.

 

That issue needs to be corrected ASAP.

[SoxSport]

I see Papi is teasing again. He's a teaser.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

88

Ohhhhh fabulous. Let's send this f*** back to the 4th dimension, where he belongs.

[schillingouttheks]

What's Halladay's pitch count right now?

 

89 after the first pitch of the inning.

It's hard to walk Encarnacion. You have to try hard to do that.

Even failblog can't find an image file that demonstrates failure on the "Walking Encarnacion" level.

[KPKahder]

It's a balk if you start toward home' date=' like you are going to throw a pitch, and then don't continue the motion and complete the pitch. It's also a balk if you don't come to a complete rest in the stretch windup with a runner on.[/quote']

 

isnt that kind of hard to tell with a LHP ? I can see how it would be easy to spot with a righty...

and thanks for the answer... my goal is to read what you all say and just listen.. so please by all means.. come forward with opinions.. Like Halladay.. does anyone other than me find it hard to believe that knowing he was on the trade block, didn't effect him ? ala Jay Cutler ?

[BSN07]

What's buch pitch count?

 

64 I think

[schillingouttheks]

What's buch pitch count?

 

69

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I see Papi is teasing again. He's a teaser.

He does realize we're not playing in SF, right?

[KPKahder]

f***!

 

3-1.

 

better than 4-3

[ms_sox]

I always speak a little too soon...but only 1 run, nothing to panic about yet.

[schillingouttheks]

Wow, I think Overbay made the tag.

 

EDIT: Yeah, he did.

[Dojji]

got a break

[BSN07]

Bad call lol

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Even failblog can't find an image file that demonstrates failure on the "Walking Encarnacion" level.

I even went to google search for a pic of Encarnacion talking a walk just so I could make a Jacoby-patented macro with it... and I couldn't find one.

[KPKahder]

Youk was tagged.. got a break on that one.. hope it doesnt come back to bite us in the butt

[The_Destroyah]

wow bad call by the man in blue, but ill take it.

[schillingouttheks]

JESUS CHRIST YOUK holy s***. Stay on the bag!
