witesoxfan Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 12:37 PM) It's a ball, but that call barely gets attention if Pierzynski receives it correctly. Pierzynski absolutely turned that into a ball and made it look awful. Perception is reality, and catchers can help or hurt themselves when receiving pitches. Pierzynski gave up on it, which is enough to make it a ball. Even had that caught the zone, you still should ball it. It's shocking that Pierzynski would give up on a curve ball that could possibly end the game and didn't miss by THAT much. This is what I saw too. It was clearly a pitch out of the zone, but this isn't Robbie Alomar or Fred McGriff bad. It was a wide strike and just so happened to come at an inopportune time.

I don't know how much he gave up on it as he just received it poorly...he had a tendency to do the same when he was behind the plate for us...for whatever reason he seems to backhand that ball for whatever reason and I felt that we lost some calls last year because of that... Also, watch Nathan...he gave up on it too...his reaction is the best part of the entire video, IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking it to the ground was the issue. Nathan gave up because of how Pierzynski received it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I went to an Indianapolis Indians (Pirates AAA team) game on Tuesday, and Brandon Inge was playing for them on a rehab assignment. That was kind of cool. And Felix Pie was playing for them, too...wow he still sucks at baseball. Struck out three times, twice looking, and argued with the umpire.

By most accounts, the sell out sreak ended in the last year or two. The Red Sox just kept the "streak" going with various ticket giveaways and other manipulations.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Kemp is such a thug. Why is he getting so involved? Stick up for your pitcher, sure, but looking to right Quentin in the parking lot? Grow the f*** up dude. Your pitcher, who has a history with this hitter, hits the guy. Then, as he stares him down, Grienke says something to Quentin and he reacts by charging him. Then, in an attempt to fight back, Grienke breaks his own collarbone when he lowers his shoulder and smashes in to Quentin. I'm with Q on this one.

Brian Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Was gonna ask why Kemp was so mad. He didn't even get hit. The pitch in the 1st he thought was at him, wasn't even close. Love the 2K commercial though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 What a b**** move by Quentin, they should suspend him for a month to match the time Greinke will miss. In that game situation, Greinke was not purposely throwing at him. If you are that sick of getting hit by pitches, then stop crowding the plate. I know why Kemp was pissed, but he was also out of line. Two meatheads don't make a right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q has been hit so many times in the past and I'm not sure he has ever charged the mound before. I think Greinke had it coming with Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I wasn't aware there's this special code of conduct involved. If you look closely (similar to what happened in 09) Q takes a step, looks at Greinke, who then says something, and Q charges the mound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
