5/16 - O's at Royals: Hill's Debut

[bobmc]

reached down, focused, what a beautiful strikeout, all three pitches.

All curves in low 70's

[dslats715]

He pwns lefties.

Something so dominant about switching avatar from so many hot chicks to Bill Shatner!

[osfan83]

So he should have dived even though he would have missed it?

He probably made the right decision..just look like he might have had a shot to me

Are the chicks listed on priceline?

That curveball is going to be just impossible to hit for a lefty unless he hangs it. That thing would have tied me in knots.

Knees buckling, flaling with the bat. That would have been me.

[Skeletor]

That was unfortunate.

[Spoonless]

Gross.

letters

[Moose Milligan]

Shocked that 3 runs didn't score on that.

[MCL1021]

Ahhhh damn....what a shame...right on the line.

[alaniee]

DANG jsut a inch or two over and it'd be foul. Hope Hill recovers, he looks pretty good.

[RShack]

Hello campers...

Well, crap... my fault for showing up...

Hill reaches way, way, way back... sorta like Palmer, but without his leg front going up in the air to kinda balance things... looks semi-impossible to me... not sure if human bodies are supposed to do that...

We have to be the worst team ever throwing out people stealing. Anyone know the actual statistic on that?

Don't know as a team, but here's the list of the qualifying starting catchers:

Zaun's fourth from the bottom.

Don't worry guys, we got Felix Pie up.

Zaun's fourth from the bottom.

I can't imagine anyone really worse than Zaun at throwing out runners.

He can barely get the ball there without hopping it. And when he doesn't hop it, its never accurate.

I bet Moeller would like that pitch call back. A change up or fastball away was a much better call. A 1-2 curveball to a righty who was probably looking breaking ball is not a good call.
