this is where we lost it.....
right now they're playing like a dick has been shoved down their throat....
Wright's not a starter....hell, with that delivery, I can't believe he even sees the mound....his delivery is dogshite
Strick was tossing batting practice......that pitch to Magee was a joke....he threw way too many up in the zone over the center of the plate....
go to the 3rd....both Guidry and Lebo should've made those plays....
then Jackson makes a mistake with a shiTTTy first pitch fastball over the middle of the plate after dusting the previous 2 with some well located curve balls....you simply can't throw that pitch at 86 mph.....his fastball doesn't move....
fast forward to the b3 with the bases loaded and Reynolds with a 3-1 count and 1 out....he gets a perfect belt high pitch and pops it up to short left going for the long ball...just yikes in that situation....drive if for a base hit with that count man....
bases still loaded with 2 outs and MW at the plate.....and what does he do....K burger.....first pitch was in the bread basket as he pulled his right shoulder out once again.....2nd pitch was an easy curve he fouled off.....3rd was in the dirt with a check swing K b/c he knew he screwed the pooch with two easy ones....it's his achilles.....he has to learn how to keep that right shoulder in position and look for the base hit instead of going for the bomb every time....
t4 up 8-6....Jackson tosses two batting practice fbs right over the middle of the plate....triple....he's lucky either didn't go yard....
he then tosses a breaker resulting in an infield 'hit'....good fielding teams make that out...we didn't
so now it's 8-7 with 1 on and no outs....so what does Jackson do....tosses another batting practice center cut/no movement fastball for another base hit......on the corners, no outs, no visit to the mound......DAFUQ
remember it's still t4 and 3 consecutive base hits with two coming off shiTTTy flat 88 mph fastballs....oh shite, another flat fastball over the center of the plate to tie it up.......wallner lets it go to the wall b/c he's not a CF by design and O' finally makes it to the mound.....9-8 now
Carroll in as Juan still doesn't understand that bunting a guy from 2nd to 3rd isn't a sacrifice....finally 1 out...
Carroll hangs a curve in the meat zone on a 1-2 count (dafuq).....it's smashed down the 3b line, and it's now 10-8 with a man on 2nd with 1 out.....
HBP....men on 1st and 2nd....still 1 out....
another hanger by Carroll over the middle of the plate and the bases are loaded.....1 out....
Carroll gets a DP to end it (lucky for him)......
the 4th is where we lost the game.....that inning was an abortion....
whoever is calling the pitches with this cast of characters should think about finding another occupation....

go back and watch the replay of the 4th inning....
