Over/under how many times will Ashby say "this is a beautiful ballpark" any takers?

McHugh is having control issues and I think he likes to put some of his pitches in the dirt. Castro isn't the best at that, but tough to deal with.

They're tough to handle pitches but a good defensive catcher has no real problem with them.

Bucknor had a call at home overturned, neglected to award a walk after four balls, and his strike zone is fucked. So, yeah, basically an average night from this dickwit. He's so terrible, I love watching him call games.

Ackley - BB on 4 pitches
Jackson - (Ackley steals 2nd on WP) Sac Fly to RF, Ackley moves to 3B
Cano - Grounds out to 3B, Ackley scores
Cruz - Flies out to RCF

End of the 1st. Mariners 1-0.

Just a couple of post-game points of order for those scoring at home:

1. A runner advances either on a steal or a wild pitch/passed ball, but not both. If he was running on the pitch, he gets credit for a stolen base and the pitcher is not charged with a wild pitch. If the runner wasn't moving on the pitch, no stolen base and pitcher is charged with a wild pitch or the catcher charged with a passed ball.

2. A batter only gets credit for a sacrifice fly if it scores a run. A runner simply advancing to 2b or 3b is not a sac, it's simply a fly out, and the batter is charged an at bat.

Keep up the good GZ work!

For some reason I thought a batter was always charged with an at bat for a sac fly, but not a sac bunt.

ETA: A batter is not charged with an at bat for a sac fly, but is charged with a plate appearance for purposes of calculating OBP. That makes perfect sense.
