Thus the age-old question, "what happens when you throw mediocre fastballs down-the-middle to ML hitters," was answered.

Just turned the game on. Brian being Brian, I assume?

That's what happens when you are such a ferocious hitter. The pitchers pitch around you.

I was more making a comment about Pujols but OK if you want to take it that way...

I think Matusz underestimated him due to his association with Mr. Jefferson's university.

Bad things...though it was a change-up...

Given the pitcher...the difference is negligible.

fixed that for you

How close was Luke Scott to hitting a back-back shot? On Gameday it puts the little red dot basically out of the park, so it makes you think it was pretty close?

I predict Moore drops a full run off of his ERA tonight!

[scOtt]

I'm slow...

Was just before the wall. Easy swing too.

Middish warning track.

It was hit pretty hard and got to the warning track.

Apparently I pulled a "Thorne" in re: identifying the pitch, but yeah. Brian was wild, then down-the-middle in the first but escaped unscathed. Second inning...not so much. Just a solo, though.

It was hit. Adam was on his horse to get it. Not enough for the HR tho.

It must be difficult to play 3B in this park.
