vs. BLUE JAYS 8/30

Lawrie makes Reynolds look like a Gold Glover.

[nate22]

Cecil is throwing some meaty pitches early on.

[crissfan172]

Small strike zone + patient hitters = Success at the plate.

[OFFNY]

Cecil is on the ropes.

[mrbig1]

We have a chance to bust this game wide open. Let's go Nolan.

[nate22]

That might have been ball 3.

[OFFNY]

Damn it, Nolan, that was ball 3. Should be 3-1.

[LA2]

Ironically, Guthrie was the winning pitcher the night that Flanny died.

Ah, I'd forgotten that. So, is the "46" up the rest of the season (on the pressbox facade--I'm just listening, can't see the stadium)?

[nate22]

Time for your first HR Ryan.

[OFFNY]

Damn it, Nolan, that was ball 3. Should be 3-1.

And because of that, he struck out instead of walking the bases loaded. He would not have swung at the pitch had it been 3-1. It was 2-2, and he was protecting the plate.

Then again, it might've been a different pitch entirely if it was a 3-1 count.

[nate22]

JJ will save us.

[mrbig1]

Save us JJ.

[OFFNY]

One pitch. One friggin' pitch can make such a big difference in a game. That 2-1 pitch to Nolan not only changed the complexion of that at-bat, but of the inning as well.

[nate22]

That might have been ball 3 too but atleast Hardy had a good rip.
