that's because the cut off man isn't a pitched ball.

Leadoff double in the 1st -- only one ball out of the infield follows
Leadoff single in the 3rd -- no ball leaves the infield afterward

Maybe so, but it's ANOTHER throw from the OF (and a short one at that) that missed the target by several feet


oe: and so was the Torres throw right there but at least he had an excuse as he had to rush the throw ... (still a lousy chuck though)

Horrible throw(Torres). Got in a horrible position to throw. If it gets stuck in your glove you still should take the time to get your feet in the proper position to throw, or just pass on it.

I mean,Torres was running in, Keith said that was too deep to get him (and I know the baserunners fast) but I don't agree. That was shallow. There HAS to be at least a play at the plate there.

You knew that run was going to be cashed in ... and you knew it was unlikely to be via an actual hit.
But at least this time we held the bunter to only 1 base.

Yea, and before the ALL Star break the players could wear one eye-patch and overachieve, and after the break they can wear two eye-patches, one over each eye, and do jack.

Re: IGT 8/22/2012 COL @ NYM: The Rockies May Crumble

I've never seen a team hit fewer balls hard (or even sort-of hard) than this one over the last two-three weeks.
Five hits today, none were particularly hard, 4 were singles, 2 of those were by the pitcher, and the double was a soft bloop over 1st base.
And it's not like the outs have been well-struck or the result of great defense from the other side.

Somebody exchange the bats for wet rolled-up newspapers?

Well back-to-back hits (both hard too!!) cuts the deficit in half.
Note that this doesn't increase our chance of winning, it merely increases the odds that a different reliever will get absorb the loss.

He will get the opportunity to redeem himself (or at least justify a roster spot) because the money is a sunk cost, but I have to think/hope the leash will be extremely short if he can't do better than this.

1) Throw the fucking pitch on time
2) if you don't, first time warning ... second time ejection

Now THAT would get these pitchers from fucking around like this.
It would also end Papelbon's career, so it's a win-win situation.

They have just faced three starting pitchers with ERAs that look like an Illinois zip code and managed two runs per game?
This is embarrassing.
Good thing the Yanks were swept by the Pale Hose. That will keep the MFY fans in my office quieter.
