It stands to reason that the night I rest Dustin Ackley, he's 2-2 with 11 points early in the game.

Bud goes full lto Kottoras before inducing an F8. Two outs for Ishikawa, who went deep against Norris earlier this season.

Bud running up a pitch count, walking his second hitter on his third full count. Two outs for Izturis.

Schreefer, sit down. You haven't earned the right to show up the HPU yet.

Sounds like Wally Bell is trying to spark something, chasing after an upset Schafer to make sure whatever he said doesn't just go away.

Schreefer bellyaches openly too much for a young player. He showed Bell up on two straight pitches.

The few Foxtrax that we've seen has shown that Bell has gotten some right and some wrong. In any event, Bud's not getting squeezed in my opinion.

How do you call a missed basket catch while running at the wall an error?!

Our official scorer is apparently either drunk or Hart slept with his sister.

Strike 3 was pretty awful.

It was, but Schreefer deserved it after he showed Bell up on the 3-1 call. That's what a yoing player gets for showing up a HPU.

Hart tomahawks one to the Crawfish Boxes. 5-1 now.

In my fantasy league that wasn't an error on Hart.
Title: Re: Brewers @ Astros 05/16/12

Schreefer probably learned that he had to swing early and singles to CF, driving in Castro. 6-1 with one out.

Wolf isn't long for this one, walking his third hitter.

Pretty sure Hart could've made a better throw if he'dve drop kicked the ball back in.

Third time through. What is Norris throwing? Game zone says slider, DoRay says curve.

It's a slider. Those dumbasses. I don't think that I've ever seen Bud throw a curveball.

What is it with our young kids? Maxwell just swung on a checked swing-he clearly went-and got rung up and he flipped the bat thinking that he had walked. Why do that? Smart veterans don't do that kind of shit to an umpire. They remember that kind of shit.

Nolan Ryan is throwing out the first pitch on Friday. I hope he is booed loudly and McLane fires his ass.

Post by: austro on May 16, 2012, 08:50:49 pm
Did Hart date your sister?

My brother. NTTAWWT.

But seriously, he overran the ball so that he wound up having to make a more difficult catch than need be, and then it hit right in his glove (maybe it got some of the heel), and he dropped it. And it's not like he was bouncing off the wall while he was doing it.

I'm probably just getting crotchety as I get older, but I think the official scorers are getting softer.

It hit him in the glove as he was running with his back to the field and getting pretty close to the fence.

Should it have been a catch? Probably. Would it have been a pretty great play if he'dve caught it? Also probably.

Bud finally broke out the changeup, and it was very good. He's up to eight strike outs through six frames, but he's around 100 pitches. Nevertheless, I see no reason why he can't go in the seventh.

DoRay are saying his new pitch is a game changer. Calling it a "spiked curve." Game Zone calls it a slider or alternatively, a change up.

Bud works around a two out single to finish seven successful innings. He's probably done for the night.
