Erstad's hands might have saved a run there, but that play would have been so crazy, they probably would have sent Rowand back to 2nd.

GOOD CALL!

Wow, that's a terrible, terrible call!

Wow, good eye by Rowand.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:51 AM) That's a very tough pitch to hit. I agree we need to try and layoff of it, but easier said than done Best way to combat it is to make solid contact on the fastballs he's left over the plate.

Rowand won't hit that splitter in 50 attempts.

Tony...this is kinda what I was talking about with the Cubs reference. PK's last 3 ABs have been all or nothing.

Everett's swinging for the fences. Good luck Carl!

Solid AB by PK. We keep fouling off very hittable pitches.

Here comes the splitter.

Way to go Jose! At least it wasn't Duque out there.

What the f*** Pods? That definitely should have been caught. How can someone so fast be so s***ty on D?

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:40 AM) He is getting hit a little harder, keep throwing Chone the split. He's been hit hard basically the whole game.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:39 AM) Duque warming is stupid. The Angels lit him up this season. They certainly did. I'd rather not see him in this game to be honest.

Rivera has hit two rockets off of Contreras so far.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:35 AM) I wish it was as easy as just knowing. ESPECIALLY with that bulls*** strike zone that inning. Yeah, but Iguchi had to know the splitter was coming. I think 99 pct of the viewing audience knew what pitch was coming.

Will someone please tell our hitters that Escobar has a splitter?

Dye had a great pitch to hit. He's going to see the splitter for sure. Likely strike 3.

Man, he had to know the splitter was coming there. This is the worst Iguchi has looked all season.

This ump has had a bigger zone for our hitters. Oh well.

Iguchi has to avoid a 2 strike count.

Good job Pods!!

Iguchi needs to try to drive the ball to RF. A hit-and-run might make him focus a little more on his mechanics.

El Duque's warming up? Ugh....with his shoulder rumored to be bothering him, I'd rather go with Politte next inning.

Haha, Crede owns Escobar! I've praised Scioscia, but he should have let Shields face Crede.
