Title: GZ Special-Giants/Jakes
Post by: Mr. Happy on October 22, 2012, 07:16:40 pm
Tight strike zone so far. I think that favors Cain over Lohse, who has to be perfect in order to succeed.

Nice hit and run.

1-0 Giant and Lohse is not sharp.
Title: Re: GZ Special-Giants/Jakes
Post by: Mr. Happy on October 22, 2012, 07:26:50 pm
Nice hit and run.

Textbook. And Lohse played the perfect straight man by throwing a hanging slider on the outer half.

Right. That down and away pitch is like crack to Pence.

Both pitchers working hard to stretch the strike zone on an ump known for loosening up.

Back in NYC after a couple days of respite.  No TVs at this office.

Offer to go pick up dinner for everybody and then bitch about how long it took while you catch a couple innings at the local.

Mistake pitch by Kelly over the plate and Pence hit it to short. Kozma broke to his right but the ball was to his left, and then Jay dropped it in CF. 5-0.

Loaded up again with no outs.

Chopper to short and Kozma tries to come home, but Pence scores and is mobbed in the dugout.

Ok, the craziness quotient in that picture was off the charts: an excited Hunter Pence trying to explain something to Brian Wilson.

Just gave the baby a bath, came back and it had gone from 1-0 to 7-0.

You're in Montana now, right? Be sure to get a block heater for every vehicle. I learned that the hard way after moving from Texas to Eastern Montana.

I can't imagine the Cardinals coming back and scoring 9 runs after being so far behind in the third inning in a series deciding game.

I'd have done the same thing. He couldn't risk giving them a big inning. Cain had too many three ball counts tonight to have gone much further than he did.

He seemed strong enough to finish the inning but you can't argue with the result.

I agree with you. Cain routinely throws 115-125 pitches in a start.
