Anyone have the over/under on Kabong getting nailed in the ribs tonight for his bat flip / admiration of the walk-off last night?

I'll take the under.

They should dot Gutierrez for serving him up such a beefy pitch.
-
Looks like they've decided to just take it out on Wandy.

Oswalt Inning™ alert: Diamondbacks score 3 on Wandy in the top of the third.
Middle 3: ARI 4, HOU 0.
And in other MLB news, it may be about time to flip over and check out the WAS/ATL game.

I am not drinking tequila tonight to help the astros win. They are on their own.
-

And nevermind... ATL breaks up NAT no-hit bid with 1 out in the 8th...
-
Haren with 7 strikeouts thru 3... wow! (Bourn with a lead-off double though, so no chance at being no hit...).
End 3: ARI 4, HOU 0
-
ARI scores another sending Wandy to the showers. Wilton Lopez in to finish the inning.
Middle 4: ARI 5, HOU 0
-
Kepp doubles into left to begin the inning and Kabong singles up the middle to send him home.
B4 (0 out, runner on 1B): ARI 5, HOU 1
-
B4 (0 out, runner on 1B): ARI 5, HOU 1
Puma smacks one to 3B that proves too hot to handle for Reynolds (E5). Runners on 1B and 2B, no outs. Spaz to the dish.
-
B4 (0 out, runners on 1B and 2B): ARI 5, HOU 1
And SPAZ grounds into his second DP of the year, Lee to 3B. 2 outs, Lee at 3B.
-
B4 (2 outs, runner at 3B): ARI 5, HOU 1
Blummer tries to take Meachum's head off on the 2-2 pitch, then bloops one into left scoring Lee. 2 outs, runner at 1B. ARI 5, HOU 2
-
B4 (2 outs, runner at 1B): ARI 5, HOU 2
And the K by Manzella ends the inning.
Middle 4: ARI 5, HOU 2
Haren at 59 pitches.

Would it be fair to assume I'm not the only one who cringes every time Spaz comes to the plate with RISP?

I cringe every time he comes to the plate or fields a batted ball.
-
Bourn is simply amazing.

Is there reason at all to have him batting ahead of Blum/Feliz?

Build his confidence? The reality is that Pence has no situational clue (re: Baseball Smarts). He's still Mr. Grip it and Rip It. So a slider will be something he either swings and misses on or he'll roll over on (and the latter is much more sad in a rally). Imagine, Pence talks to himself and says "What would MoBerg do?" and then take the ball (slider) to right to move both Berkman and Lee to another base. With Blum's single, they probably have two runs, one for sure and possibly Blum sitting on second with only one out and not two.
Baseball smarts, thy name is not Hunter Pence.

Twice fucked by blue!!!

not cool, that was a good play by blum.

Manzella did a good job keeping the tag on too.

yes, he did. sometimes those are the breaks.

And the strike call on Berkman was no where near the plate. Basically put him behind in the count with a runner on second base.

Not sure about Runge but Wendlestat is known as a lazy umpire.

no idea, but a lot of people may start knowing their names, if they don't know them already.

Per JD: 19 hits allowed by Wandy in his last two starts (8.2 innings).
T5: Lopez on the hill
Reynolds: Bourn and Lee converging towards one, Bourn with the catch. 1 out.
LaRoche: hits one into left past the outstretched glove of Carlos Lee, ball takes an odd bounce and LaRoche ends up at 3B. 1 out, infield playing in a bit.
Young: strikes out swinging. 2 outs, runner at 3B.
Ryal - Popped the 2-2 pitch in foul territory in shallow right, Puma unable to make the over-the-shoulder basket catch... Taps the 3-2 pitch to Blum who barehands it and throws to 1B for the inning-ending out for an infield single (with a big assist from 1BU), run scores. ARI 6, HOU 2
Snyder: flies out to left (to end the inning for real this time...). 3 outs.
Middle 5: ARI 6, HOU 2
Having too much trouble with MLB.TV to continue with the PBP, sorry folks...

I was driving home during Pence's second at bat, and Haren's first pitch was slider. "Hmmm," says DoRay. "He hasn't really shown a slider yet tonight."
No fucking shit.

Is it stuttering? Are you using Nexdef? At the highest setting?
-
Great hustle from Caballo!
-
Not a bad DP there. Well done, Carlos.
-
Wo, Ho-Lee
-
And then he stands and watches a fly ball fall short in left.

He already got 2 outs! What more do you want from the man? Sweat?!?!

Freezing for seconds at a time. Not using NexDef, video quality at the lowest setting. Dealt with HP support today who said the video card on the netbook can't adequately handle the games (though it wasn't nearly this bad last week as it has been this week - and yes, have run my virus/spyware scan). Just gonna have to grin and bear it until I can get my notebook fixed... *sigh*™
-
astros sure do love hitting the ball in the infield.

Video cards and low bandwidth are the most common issues I read about. I have a pretty fat laptop and I'm amazed sometimes at how good it looks.

You aren't missing much.

Earlier on the radio, one of the guys talked about a spray chart for Pence's out this season at MMPUS and only 6 were in the OF.

I heard that too. The kid is just pounding sand out there.

Why is Q bunting?! Oh...
-
Bourn walks to load the bases with no outs in the 8th.
-
Bases drunk. This is the game here....let's make some hay, boys.
-
Bases loaded, nobody out. Kepp up.
-
Fuck.
-
woo-hoo a run scored.
-
Great camerawork on that dp.

Here, let me...
Well, fuck.

4-6-3

Blame the director.

Lee grounds out to SS and it's 6-3 going to the 9th.
-
FoxTrax is good for 3 bad calls per night. Someone should compile all of these
-
Bottom of the 9th, Haren still in. Puma leading off.

Is FoxTrax considered correct, or is it just another TV geegaw?
-
I didn't see how Puma made an out but he did, and crazily enough Pence!!! bounced out to SS. Blum's up with two down. Looking for a 3-run HR here but instead, he delivers a single to center.

Lance got robbed on ball 4, then grounded out to second.
-
Haren dominates Manzella for a three-pitch strikeout, Haren's 9th of the game. Astros lose, 6-3.
-

I'm guessing it's using the pFx data, which is likely very accurate. Ive yet to see a single pitch that looked marked wrong on FoxTrax, and almost every call that looked to be bad has been confirmed bad by it, in near real time.
-
I hoped it was tied in to that, but hadn't seen anything that would confirm it.
