Way to pitch. I love KOJI! KOJI KOJI KOJI

Koji MADNESS!

[Skeletor]

Very good back to back innings from Koji.

[Malike]

Maybe not playing in the field is effecting Luke. Some guys are just better hitters when they are playing a position.

[Trace21230]

Anyone have a pitch count for Koji? I'd love to see 7 innings.

[HOF-Wieters]

75 pitches. Keep this next inning at 15 and it looks like we will see our first starting pitcher in the 7th.

[PrivateO]

Only 75 pitches by Koji.

Could we see an extended appearence by a starter? He's had two good innings back-to-back.

Watch out. Felix is up this inning. How about a drive to straight CF?

[waroriole]

No, I'm talking about his demeanor in response to the plate call and K call. He's just like, "look, I saw it, you did not, I'm right, you're wrong, just chill." It's better than most umps who need to act like tough guys.

Gotcha, but still it's obvious that his strike zone is smaller than other umpires, and more importantly it's smaller than what the rule book states. If they are going to continue with decreasing the size of the strike in application, then the rules should reflect that.

Glad I picked up Roberts, Jones, Kakes, and Huff for my fantasy team. Big numbers today

[Twenty1]

Does anyone else think the red hats that the Rangers are wearing look terrible with the blue lettering across the chest?

I remember on the Hot Stove Show this offseason, he had said playing the field helps someone like him (obsessive/detail oriented) take the focus off of hitting and on something else and it helps him hit better.

Koji MADNESS!

We need a #2 pitcher like a flower needs rain.

[Scrat1]

As was I.

Haha, what happened there was I read the first two posts that asked if he was being serious, and started to read yours, and just assumed it was the same and replied before actually reading the whole thing.

...

edit: Tricky thing you did with those white Qs, btw.

Yes. I was just thinking that.

[Why Not?]

He's streaky. That's the Scott package, he is what he is.
