Matsui: Walks
Rodriguez: Flies out to right
Berkman: Singles to right
Lee: Lazy liner to Bradley. Matsui doubled off second, seemed sure it would drop.

Matsui made up for the stupid ass baserunning with some slick fielding there

WakePhil · « **Reply #15 on:** April 06, 2009, 06:34:44 pm »

Ramirez: Homer to the Crawford Boxes
Fontenot: On a 1-1 count, hits a curve for a single to right
Soto: On a 2-2, Soto singles to left. Roy upset
Theriot: Great stop by Berkman down the line. Gets the out at first. Runners advance to second and third.
Zambrano: Infield drawn in, ball hit right to Kaz who freezes the runner on third and gets the out at first.
Soriano: 4-3 put out to end the inning on a broken bat bounder up the middle. Kaz makes a nice play.

WakePhil · « **Reply #16 on:** April 06, 2009, 06:40:40 pm »

Tejada: First pitch single to left. No outs.
-Tejada caught stealing on a ball in the dirt. One out, none on.
Blum: Flies out to right on a 1-2 pitch. Two outs, none on.
Pence: Gets three sliders managing to lay off two of them before grounding out. Three outs.

Filo · « **Reply #17 on:** April 06, 2009, 06:44:05 pm »

The best way to describe Zambrano to this point would be wildly effective. He's all over the place but we have 0 runs.

WakePhil · « **Reply #18 on:** April 06, 2009, 06:47:52 pm »

Fukudome: K's looking. Kosuke did not look good in that AB. One out, none on.
Soto: Drives one deep to the bullpen in left-center. Lee catches on the warning track. Two outs, none on.
Bradley: Goes 3-0 for the second time in two ABs. Walks on 5 pitches. Two outs, man on first.
Ramirez: Flies out to deep center on a 1-1 count. Three outs.

Bourn: leading off...in the 3rd inning from the 8 spot...singles. Coop knew what he was doing all along.
Oswalt: Sac bunt. One out, Bourn on second.
Matsui: Bloops one into no mans land in front of Fukudome. One out, runners first and third.
Rodriguez: K's on three pitches. Two outs, runners first and third.
Berkman: Grounds to second. Three outs, two stranded.

Fontenot: Doubles on the second pitch. Over Lee's head and off the wall.
Soto: Grounds out Berkman to Oswalt. Runner advances. One out, man on third.
Theriot: Lines out to Pence. Pence caught it backing up, no chance at home. Two outs, runner scores.
Zambrano: Grounds out Blum to Berkman.

Lee: Pops to the lessor Lee in foul territory. One out.
Tejada: K's on 4 pitches. Two outs.
Blum: Appears to be gearing up for a run at the single season checked swing record. Blum completes a swing that results in a fly out to that skipping fairy fellow in left.

Berkman carries a phone and keys in his pockets. How unique. FSN breaking out the good stuff for opening day.

Bradley: Fouls a ton off, doesn't check a terrible swing (umpire disagreed with me), pops up to Pudge. One out.
Ramirez: Gets in on the fouling fun before popping out to Berkman. Two outs.
Fontenot: Grounds out Matsui to Berkman. Three outs.

Matsui: If Bradley didn't swing in the top half, then neither did Matsui here. Umpire disagrees, K's him on that check swing. One out.
Rodriguez: K's again. Two outs.
Berkman: Walks.
Lee: Grounds into a force at second.

Tejada: Lines to center for a base hit. None out, man on first.
- Cubs bullpen warms
Blum: Zambrano starts losing control, velocity appears to be down. Blum works a full count and walks. None out, men on first and second.
- Pinella notices and yanks Big Z to a chorus of boos.
- Heilman comes in
Pence: 6-4-3 on the first pitch. Two outs, man on third.
Bourn: Bourn is fast. Singles on a Willy Taveras swinging bunt. Runner scores
- Erstand replaces Oswalt
- Cotts replaces Heilman
- Erstad replaces by Michaels
Michaels: Grounds to short.

For the Rockets fans out there, Manu is out for the season. That should make the division title a little more attainable.

If it calms him down and as long as he doesn't run through any glass doors, why not?

If I'm a coach, any pitcher of mine that throws Hunter Pence a fastball is getting demoted to AAA before the game is over. He looked fucking pitiful at the plate. Even with me and Noe yelling from the upper right field tank to not swing at off speed bullshit, he was up there waving at pitches he couldn't hit with a fucking broom.

Matsui made up for the stupid ass baserunning with some slick fielding there

This isn't one of those "defense makes up for [bad] offense" offenses, is it?

Filo's post was whiny bullshit but at least he kept it in the GZ.

Yes, in the GZ, whining is permitted, just as it is at the park, in a sports bar, etc. IMHO of course, because you should've hear me whine last night about Hunter Pence. It was not pretty.

I was calling him a jackass at the park. The only players to ever get that from me in the past were Lane and Ensberg.

Pretty sure the first thing I told Jim at the Saucer after the game was trade Pence now.

Too late. The secret's probably out by now.

There's whining ... and then there is suggesting we look forward to football season on opening day in baseball. That is simply beyond the pale.

Well I disagree of course, but understand your point. Had he said NHL Hockey, I would've reacted too! Same way some folks would react to me saying "I'm going to watch a Dynamo match instead". Some things just cause reactions ya know. We care. A lot. Causes us to say things. You know, things. The GZ is the best place for things. Just saying.
