Ed Reed's chances were based on gut instinct honed by countless hours of watching film and studying tendencies and he was right a lot higher percentage of the time than Villar.

(Except for his tendency to try to lateral to someone when he was getting tackled on a return!   Those were bad decisions even when they worked out).

 

Couldn't get agree more!  Especially on the laterals!  Also, it probably is more like high risk, medium reward for Villar.

That's an all-star at bat there.

Do you concur, @Can_of_corn?

Does Hunter always get so excited when there are more than 5 pitches to any one batter?

Not as much as when a player has "a modest 2-game hit streak"...

Any at bat by an all-star is by it's very nature an all-star at bat.

An at bat by a non all-star by it's very nature can not be an all-star at bat.

Or course I didn't even see the at bat in question but that won't stop me from commenting on it.

Only 64 pitches in 4 innings. Based on a tiny sample, Eshelman looks like our #4 starter. 

didn't he throw 29 in the first one?

You're talking about a guy who one said excitingly "This ball is trouble!" when one of our guys hit a ball towards the gap when we were down 8 runs with the bases empty.

Or “two game hitting streak”.

[Sessh]

Eshelman getting squeezed in this AB.

I remember Hunter got way too excited when they had dog night at the park. All he could do was talk about dogs for nine innings.

Ah, a classic Hunter-ism.

That’s just like gold glove caliber!
