I'm crossing my fingers!

 

go shouse!

[pitchleague]

Great move. They bring in the righty. Who didn't see that coming?

 

Strike one.

[Team Canada]

Thank goodness.

 

Brian's House!

[endaround]

Dusty outmanaged Ned. Ned got lucky.

[hkdakd]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[zurch1818]

The first pitch looked outside and low......Ill take it

[tigerbrew]

Whew!!

[Schlitz001]

Yost making it interesting with the bullpen again this year. Good thing Brian Shouse is so gosh darned handsome.

[Pointer1VB]

Dusty didn't realy outmanage Ned. Bringing in a lefty PH knowing he's probably going to face Shouse. Pretty dumb.

[endaround]

Bill thinks Shouse can get right handers....

[pitchleague]

could really use another run or two (or ten) right here

[And That]

Hopper is right handed.

 

[pitchleague]

where was that pitch when our guys were on the mound? It was a strike, yes, but it's hasn't been called both ways consistently.

[Pointer1VB]

Gameday lied to me again then. Said Hopper was left handed.

[And That]

How bout a jack from Kapler.

[pitchleague]

some of Kapler's mannerisms around the plate remind me of an over-matched little leaguer.

[owbc]

Nice to get Prince another shot here. Time for HR #1

[davemakovec]

Kapler's making him work for his dinner tonight...

[tigerbrew]

This ump has a very strange strike zone.

[Blancofan1]

Kapler at the plate reminds me of a battling, gritty, battler

[And That]

Evidently, Prince's pants are an homage to Negro League players. Hm.

[hurricanecrush]

At on point, this game was really cruising along. It's 2-1 and going on 3 hours... what happened?

 

Edit: punctuation

[pitchleague]

it's the 14th anniversary of Mercker's no-hitter. Time to do something about that, Prince.

[pebadger]

Nine pitch walks are nice.

 

One of the worst feelings in my life was umping a LL game in which most of the kids on one team were completley overmatched by a kid who went on to pitch at one of the UWs. Poor kids just bailing out in terror and I'm ring'n 'em up.

The thing he does with his knees is less exaggerated now, but he used to look like he was working a ThighMaster at the the plate.
