Brian Giles at-bat:

 

First pitch: a 96MPH tailing fastball booted by Juan Uribe at SS.

Haha poor guy, 2 pitches...1 error and one little shank piece of s*** single.

another good pitch by Matt, bloop hit just in front of Dye.

All right Matty, lets see a first pitch meatball HR!!!

 

 

Ask and you shall receive.

Matt. Thornton. ina. Nutshell.

First pitch to batter #2 resulted in a bloop single to RF

-Another good pitch on the fists

 

First pitch to batter #3

-96MPH fastball in for a strike

 

Pitch two

-96MPH fastball misses outside

 

Pitch three

-96MPH fastball in for a foul ball

 

pitch four

-breaking pitch outside misses

 

Pitch five

-a 96MPH MEATBALL DOWN THE HEART OF THE PLATE FOR A THREE RUN JOB.

and a three run bomb. The error proves costly.

Inning should have been over a while ago

allright allright... so it only took 7 pitches =P

Comes back with a walk.

 

Thanks for playing.

this guy rules.... come on coop!

Wow, nice control.

He sounds like a bad version of Alan Embree.

 

Yes I said a bad version

Yep....this guy is terrible. We're better off with him starting off in the minors. He's a liability to be in the majors when we break camp.

Boo this is boring. IF you are gonna blow ass and walk people at least do it Rick Vaughn style.

i think that if cooper is able to get him going, then it will be his biggest turn around/achivement.

 

this guy is just plain insane!!!!!!

That pitch just went thru my office window downtown

This dude is pathetic. What a waste of a good fastball.

So those runs don't count, right?

On a positive note that was the fastest inning I have ever seen where 5 runs were allowed.

What is the line for an inning like that for Thornton? Would any of those be earned runs?

Thorton makes me miss Scott Schoenweis.....

I said to throw the eliminator, not the masterbator.
