Forgot about the rule change---Nonetheless, its extra innings. YOu don't play extras, the way you play the 1st, 2nd or 3rd innings, etc, etc...Especially so when you know the home team is gonna start with a runner at 2nd as well. Mindset has to change from, "play for the big inning", opposed to simply getting a run. Its simple, situational baseball.
Welcome to the underslot shit
Oops?
Yup, oops. Winning three of four against my Brew Crew before was meaningless thanks to Cincy getting swept at home to start the second half.
Sure its meaningless now....But at the time, well, no. I mean if Milwaukee were to somehow **** up, and not win the division---then that 12 game winning streak they had would be meaningless...
One of my favorite moments in all of sport ever. WTH was Ventura thinking!?!
When is Greene gonna get his chance? Am I missing something, here? Getting tired of 9th inning blown leads...Did it vs Mets, and yesterday vs Twins.
Yes, that is a balk. For me, I am looking for repetitive movement in correlation with a pitcher, movements, and his delivery, or start of it. In this instance, the pitcher starts to come up, which is a repetitive movement in starting your delivery...Runners see this. They know once you start to come up, you have to come set, OR attempt a throw(pick). If you do not, and simply step off, this is a balk.
Came here to tag you and post that lol. Your long national nightmare is finally over (well except for the whole Angelos still owning the team thing)
**** Angelos, but I'm hoping his kids who are apparently running the team now are just letting Elias and Co do their thing. Its going to be a couple years for this to bear fruit, but we had to tear it down to start fresh. Plus its the perfect time with the other 4 division opponents all being good.
I think so...No different than calling a foul in basketball, or a hold in football. Some are obvious. Some are not...Some guys let it go---some don't. Me, depends on the level, TBH. Obviously a lot more picky if a college game....HS games, depends on the level of play...Sometimes you can be more effective, simply trying to teach. I'll tell catchers---"call time, go out there, andtell you to please pause...Or whatever it may be tht he is doing. Cannot get away with that in high-level HS games. And obviously not college games.
I watched some, pretty cool....would have been better had they replaced Buck and Smoltz with James Earl Jones & Kevin Costner.
Hope injury isn't serious....Also, looks like Reds gonna choke yet another one away... They have blwon so many fukin games this year. Bases loaded in back to back innings...1 out or less both times, and only score one. Gray starting to struggle. Bases loaded, one out, one run in....4-2.
I didn't realize we had a baseball thread going over here. We have one on UK home board and then several scattered across the other UK free boards as well as these national boards. I don't pop over much during basketball offseason, I'll try to pop over here and contribute too as we head down the stretch.
He has been awful...Huge break n that 2-2 pitch to Barnhart.
Shaky is being nice. Top of the 9th. 3 outs to glory. Let's go Rojos
This team with even a decent bullpen, is in all likelihood leading the Central. Unreal offense...very good starting pitching...Shit bullpen. In fairness, they have some dudes out. But still...
