Mental mistake?  By Duke?

 

Anderson and Uribe basically looked at each other on a pop up, and the ball dropped between them.

Good job pitching over it by Duque.  Beltre's going to see more slider tonights than a stoner at White Castle.

 

Nice

Thanks, sucks being without tv and Sportsline doesn't tell you things like that.

I know. My brother is at school right now and doesn't get the game.

Where is he going?

Uribe is now 2 for his last 25.

Where is he going?

 

U of I

If he gets the outside corner like that, no one is going to touch him. Since he's around the plate so much, you just have to try and foul off those nasty pitches instead of sitting there hoping the ump bails you out.

74 pitches thru 5 for Felix.

How do you let that bum beat you?

2nd homer in 132 ABs for Torrealba.

Real chance here for Paulie.

You're not going to see a worst AB than that one.

he looked like he had 0 chance

absolutely 0

Choke!!!!

I get it: we're taking strikes, and swinging at balls? SWING THE F'N BAT!

Good pitcher or not, you don't leave 2 on with one out.

Perfect, I turned the game on for a minute, and I see PK and AJ get aced the s*** out of.

I know Hernandez has great stuff, but the approach by so many of these hitters are awful. He's been around the plate all night....why are they just sitting their with the bat on their shoulders?

Yeah, you have to step up and get a clutch hit against top pitchers. You're not going to have many chances at run scoring innings, and to have your 4-5 hitters with pathetic ABs like that really hurts.

interesting stat:

6 different players have struck out

6 different players have gotten hits

 

it's almost like you've got to be swinging early to get a hit off this guy. if there's any sort of count advantage for him, he gets you

Jinx! Turn off the TV!!

Dude. He was throwing 98 on the corners and dropping a sick curve. DO you know how baseball works? Have you played? Do you know how hard it is to hit a 97 mph fastball low and away right on the corner that will be called a strike? It's next to impossible.

Oh, I did.

Dude...I guarantee you I've played as much baseball as just about anyone on here, and faced more 90 mph plus fastballs than anyone. My problem with PK's at bat was this: what was he looking for? I'm not upset that the guys aren't getting hits against him. Rather, just a lot of guys seem like once they get two strikes, they're just waiting to be aced. At least with Johan, we go down swinging.
