  Bases loaded and one out. Not going to get it done.

  Why swing at a 2-0 pitch?
• royal_k

  

  Pitch to Choo was a ball, but too close to take. He fucked up by swinging at the pitch before that. It was high.
• Footwedge

  Only takes one shitty call by the plate ump to change the whole game around. Rick Manning is blind....that ball was 4 inches off the plate.
• OQB

  

  I say move Brantley to leadoff, Grady to 3rd in the lineup and then Choo down to 7...until he starts producing consistently!
  
  I can't take Choo right now, he is really pissing me off.

  Yeah and he also thought the pitch before it was a strike. Which it could have been, but it would have been another bad call.

  Well...I want my cleanup hitter to be a run producer and have a green light to swing at a grooved 2-0 fastball. If this is Game 7 of the World Series, the take is on. On April 18th, I like letting the young guy swing and try to hit a ball hard and get some confidence.

  Or, let the nerves get to the pitcher, and let him try to even get the ball in the strike zone.

  He struck out the previous guy looking. It wasn't like he was the guy who walked the bases loaded. That pitch was a meatball.
• iclfan2

  

  Whew. 3-3 still. Let's go O.
• OQB

  

  Pronk leading off!
• Laley23

  

  Hafner going yard would be nice.
• OQB

  

  Another leadoff walk...
• Laley23

  

  ill take the leadoff walk
• Laley23

  

  Damn, great play by Escobar.
• TBone14

  

  Pet peeve. Pinch running for your hottest hitter. This game goes extras and Buck comes up for Pronk's spot. Arrgh.
• grodt

  

  Just swapped Buck for OC. Gotta get'em over and get'em in.

  Agreed. I never pinch run for the guy on first. Maybe, when he gets to second sure. But on first, no.
• OQB

  

  Dang so close!! That was centimeters from the line!
• OQB

  

  Let's Go Tribe!!
• Laley23

  

  Damn. That was good AB by Brantley. Unlucky twice.
• OQB

  

  Orlando was looking for that pitch in the dirt to take off!
• grodt

  

  C'mon Matt big hit time!
• OQB

  

  let's go we need a single to take the lead!
• Laley23

  

  Should get a fastball here, and hes a fastball hitter.
