Hate to say it but on the Gameday box all the strikes are strikes and balls are balls in the Westburg at bat.

Edit:  Now I see the first pitch to Adley.   Maybe that's what you were complaining about!

Well he missed the first pitch to Adley.  It was called a strike but was at least four inches off the plate.

Let’s see if Povich gets calls 4 inches off the plate.  with his shaky command and control, that would be a huge help for him.

[Moose Milligan]

Great. Kikuchi looks relatively locked in. 

[Roy Firestone]

Not a great first two at bats...

[Gurgi]

Is Toronto pumping in fake crowd noise or does their stadium really sound like that?  Weird.

[Roy Firestone]

would love to see the pitch count go to 20-25 but Gunnar swings quickly...

[Gurgi]

The crowd behind the plate with the extra wide chairs reminds me of a large mass of Judges.  Like in Bill and Ted's excellent adventure.  "Be excellent"

[Moose Milligan]

Duck fart double. I’ll take it. 
 

Drive his count up. Let’s go!

[Roy Firestone]

cmon Tony be patient...no first pitch swings

[Roy Firestone]

gonna be at least 25 pitches

[Gurgi]

Will Povich survive the first?  Did he sleep last night?  Is his family all here?  

We should get Javy Lopez back so we can trade him for another Cano and Povich.

Go get'em Povi.  Make us proud.
