3/9 O's v. Mets

[baseballnelie]

Uehara walks the batter on the 3-2 pitch after battling back from a 3-0 count, so now the bases loaded with 1 out.

That pitch is the stuff of legends, if Uehara is throwing it on purpose I think I love him.

That is exactly what I was going to say. If he is throwing an eephus, I might have a man-crush on Koji.

Eephus:

[baseballnelie]

Sharp liner just over Freel's glove at 2nd to score 2 to tie the game at 3, and again runners at 1st and 2nd with 1 out.

That is exactly what I was going to say. If he is throwing an eephus, I might have a man-crush on Koji.

Eephus:

It wasn't that high of a pitch, but it did go a few feet above the hitter's head.

[TyCobb]

That is exactly what I was going to say. If he is throwing an eephus, I might have a man-crush on Koji.

Eephus:

He didn't throw the eephus. It is just a slow curve. Just like Orlando Hernandez threw.

[baseballnelie]

Strikes out Murphy on another nasty splitter that was in the 70s, so 2 outs.

What feed are you getting? The SNY gun doesn't seem like it is right.

[baseballnelie]

A ground ball to 1st with Uehara covering the bag to end the inning.

I am getting the SNY feed on MLB.tv, and I definitely now agree after that pitch the gun does not seem right. It just said that was 63mph which it definitely wasn't.

[baseballnelie]

Roch is reporting Uehara's pitch count is now at 45 after a 30 pitch 2nd inning.

[UpstateNYfan]

Uehara is not very sharp today, he is up in the zone. Umpire is not giving him the inside corner.

[baseballnelie]

Montanez works his way toward the cycle with a lead off line drive single to center.

[baseballnelie]

Uehara is not very sharp today, he is up in the zone. Umpire is not giving him the inside corner.

I completely agree. I think this outing would be different if he were getting the calls on the inside corner and even a couple on the outside corner of the plate.

[baseballnelie]

Wigginton flies out in foul territory to the 1st baseman.

[baseballnelie]

Salazar hits a sharp grounder to 3rd that is bobbled, but barely gets to 1st in time to get Salazar out as Montanez moves to 2nd.

[baseballnelie]

High fly to shallow center by Gomez that is almost lost in the sun, and would've hit the fielder in the head if his glove were not there, to end the inning.
