vs. ATHLETICS, 8/17

[Palmoripken]

But we did score an inning before I said we would. Still a lead.

We're okay. Their 0-2 home run damaged them more than ours us.

So at after the HR I want to say, was Jonathan Schoop's at bat a bad approach last inning? I felt so. I don't know what the team's OPS is when making contact with the first pitch.

[Reboulet'sStache]

On a strike. Not a ball that bounced six inches in front of the plate. Although Schoop did lots of that last year.

Not all strikes are created equal. That was the Tom Glavine strike that you only should wing at when down in the count.

Thanks a TON for that! Got two good spins on the drive back to Durham. A friend of mine was at that festival (as an attendee).

Btw, my Pigtown pal (Ed Butler) is one fabulous drummer. Cut his teeth in Baltimore, later NYC and now in RDU area.

Yeh, but it was a pitcher's pitch on 0-0. You should never swing at a ball in that location on the first pitch.

I wonder if the Orioles can change the schedule. A's,Phillies, Braves and Marlins till October 4th.

A bad result IMO more so than approach. I would have taken the first pitch after CD walked but Jon also has infinity more hits in the mlb than I do too.

I assumed he was musical. Glad you enjoyed. I'll pass that on.

I was actually talking about Schoops previous at bat when he hit the liner to right center. He was aggressive then on first pitch, but it was a strike.

I think once he fell behind he pitched around him.

No biggie. Get the run back and then some tho.
