Why do we ALWAYS have to swing at ball 4?????????  :headshake  :banghead

 

That's grinderball rule #72 1/2

Good thing we're playing for one run in this stadium.

 

With this bottom of the order, it's probably the right decision.

Yeah, "Never take the easy base."

I can't wait for AJP to be back in the 6 or 7 position in the lineup. Does anyone have a stat comparision of AJP in the 1-5 spot compared to lower in the order?

I think that was a great inning, why is everyone so down on it. We executed on what we needed to do, which was score the lead off run. A couple of weeks ago, we wouldnt have scored that run. Good job to willie, timo and pablo

What's more frustrating? Swinging at ball 4, or Swinging at the 1st pitch?

the texas announcers are quoting Hawk now.

He Gone!

FYI, our spray chart so far this game looks pretty good.

Wow I think this ump makes up his Strike Zone as the day goes on

 

Calls A high strike- which looked ball

 

Then throws a great located FB or SL on the outside corner a ball without flinching

 

Huh?

With this bottom of the order, it's probably the right decision.

I know it seemed like the bnttom of the order, but our #1,2,&3 hitters made the outs in that inning.

Thanks. I really thought his numbers were worse in the 5 spot.

YEAH!!!

I thought someone said he sucked in the 5 hole.

Actually he's god in the 5 hole. He should perminatly be there. Who ever said that didn't look at the stats.

El Duque really showing some great location on most his pitches

 

Too bad the ump doesnt have a clue

9 in a row retired by El Duque.

 

53 pitches through 3 innings.

 

Tied at 1, on to the 4th.

El Duque really has gotten the job done lately.

I thought someone said he sucked in the 5 hole.

I would prefer he hit 6th or 7th personally.
