Ahh Cabrera just slipped on the wet dirt for a balk

[tywright]

Somewhat of a smart play for DCab under the circumstances. If he threw the ball then it would have been a walk.

He walks him anyway on next pitch

[baseballnelie]

Does Cabrera sound wild to anyone else?

I think he's having a rough time getting his footing and holding onto the wet ball; however I think that was strike 3 not ball 4 just now

[Boy Howdy]

Anybody know who the plate umpire is?

[fdfcosta]

Anybody know who the plate umpire is?

Jeff Kellogg.

[Palmer Esque]

Watching the game, he looks like he throwing the ball as well as his previous starts, but the umpire to put it nicely does not have the largest strike zone... not missing by much IMO.

[tywright]

Home Plate - Jeff Kellogg, First Base - Mark Wegner, Second Base - Chad Fairchild, Third Base - Rick Reed

[baseballnelie]

Mistake by Quiroz right there I think he should have had that

[bretholmes4]

Does Cabrera sound wild to anyone else?

Is this a trick question?

[furryburres]

Then he walks Anderson. And throws a wild pitch!

He was crossed up but what bugged me was he barely ran after it. He looked just like Ramon there.

[Palmer Esque]

I have a feeling if Vasquez was on the mound the issue with the clay affecting their landing would have been addressed. The home plate umpire should take charge and order some landscaping to be done.....with that said nice job by Cabrera of getting out of the jam....he really seems to be on to something this year, just last year I have a feeling the wheels would have came off the cart in this situation..(cold weather, getting squeezed, and crossing up the catcher. Does anyone else agree?

[Boy Howdy]

Then he walks Anderson. And throws a wild pitch!

And sticks a goose egg up there.

[square634]

He is battling. Obviously these aren't the best circumstances in which to pitch, and his pitch count is getting up with two walks already. But considering the conditions I think he's done well.

[Terps23]

Great job settling down and getting that groundout. I was fully expecting a double in the gap after the wild pitch.
