vs. Yankees 7/7 Beat Them

[BohKnowsBmore]

Right now it is. And that's what I said. 12 earned runs on this road trip thus far. That would've been a bad series a month ago. Let alone the fact that Danks and Nova both started.

Thought you were talking about the offense.

SSS for the win.

No, SSS for the loss. So far at least.

By all means run him out there everyday regardless of results until he hurts himself.

That worked great last season.

[WEAVERMAN]

0-2 on Haffner, don't lose him.

[WEAVERMAN]

You lost him, get a quick out.

[Surhoffan17]

Almonte again already???

[Surhoffan17]

Good inning...now let's break out of this slump!!

[scOtt]

0-2 on Haffner, don't lose him.

Almost took Jason's head off.

"Clean" inning.

[WEAVERMAN]

Okay let's get something going. Relax and hit your pitch.

[WEAVERMAN]

Make the Kuroda work, okay?

I am. Another easy inning incoming... Maybe we will see 10 pitches this at bat.

I'm talking about claiming sub replacement. Brian looks sturdier than last season. He may get injured but I'm confident he's better than a AAAA replacement.

Can we even foul some pitches off and extend at bats? Everything is 2-3 pitches.Or 1 pitch. Ridiculous.

The ability (or inability) to foul off lots of pitches has always intrigued me. Obviously to some extent hitters can consciously foul off pitches waiting for the perfect one to drive. But it seems to me that most of the time this is not within the direct control of a hitter…or it involves some impossible to predict amalgam of circumstance. Look at this last inning, somehow the Hammel-Yankee interaction went from epically long at bats with lots of fouls to a 12 pitch inning with exactly two foul balls. What the heck was the difference? Did the Yankees suddenly decide to try an Orioles approach at the plate?

[ACDC27]

Come on bats break out of this funk we are in.

[WEAVERMAN]

Nicky starts us off. Let's go Nicky.

Then why did you just talk about pitching???
