17 pitch inning for 1-2-3 isn't that bad....maybe we can get Latos out of the game early.

 

[ElJimador]

Bummer. Uribe just missed that one.

 

[ColinCoby]

Just missed it.

Latos: 38 pitches

Bum: 37 pitches

 

[ColinCoby]

Man, where do you guys find these pictures?

 

[ColinCoby]

Some much for Padre fundamentals!

 

[xxERICSMITHXX]

Thank you Tejada for that base running mistake...we needed that. Lets get that run back now!

 

[tzill]

Blind squirrel....meet Senor Acorn....

 

[tzill]

Unfortunately, it's Ishi/MadBum/Torres due up....

 

[ElJimador]

Watching this game on Fox...fuck these announcers. They need to get off their knees and stop blowing Guillen. It takes a little bit more than a strong arm to play RF at AT&T. Plus, they are talking up his bat like he is Albert Fucking Pujols.

FOX announcers are the worst. They decide what the storylines are coming into the game, the players they want to hype, etc. and then just fill in the gaps with their little jokes to each other. It's just shtick. I'd mute it and listen to the Giants radio if it wasn't for that annoying 2 second lapse when you hear what happens before you actually see it.

Ishi got a nice call on that second pitch...

+1

Every Fox announcer comes off as a total dumbshit. These guys aren't as bad as some of them though.

 

[tzill]

OK, I'll shut up now....

 

[ColinCoby]

WOW. I though Torres had NO chance on that one.

WOW. I though Torres had NO chance on that one.

I know, I love Torres in the lead off spot. He strikes out a bit too much, but his strike out rate has improved from last year which gives you even more hope.

 

[ElJimador]

Gotta come through w/a 2 out knock sometime. Might as well be now.

 

[ColinCoby]

Can't catch a break against these guys. VERY frustrating.

 

[ElJimador]

Or not.

 

[tzill]

Another 17 pitch inning...the approach here is a good one: make Latos throw a lot of pitches.

 

[tzill]

Through three innings:

Latos 55 pitches
Bum 40 pitches

Just sayin'....

 

[xxERICSMITHXX]

The ump might have saved the Pads there w/ that blocked ball after Hundley missed it.
