GDT Snakes @ Champs 5/12

Yeah, that high fastball was really impressive. My first thought when seeing the curve was that it looked telegraphed, and it wasn't going to be strike from the moment it left his hand - mlb players will spit on those.

Actually let me amend that - rowand and nate would hack at that curve.

And a certain 2B who may wear blue...

Well put, and might I add: Hahahahahaha.

Have you gotten to see Wheeler's change-up, gp? Does he have one? I haven't noticed it any video footage. I've been trying to get up to San Jose to see him in person, but it seems he rarely pitches on weekends that I'm available. It appears he is a great third pitch away from the Bigs, which could end up being a change, slider, splitter or more deceptive curve.

No, I haven't seen him in person, and I haven't seen the changeup. But, clearly, he has a major league arm. If he stays healthy, he's a can't miss prospect.

He's got a ++ curve, a + fb, and an average change at this point...according to reports.

Fucking FPOM Huff......aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Paging Tim Lincecum. Show that kid how to throw a change-up and make room on your fingers for some more rings.

 

[Heathbar012]

I like this inning much better so far.

 

[tzill]

DeRo flashing some glove!!

 

[Heathbar012]

Ooooooooo, Montero deserves the benefit of that call?

 

[Heathbar012]

Well, at least the ump is consistent. Knee-high outside corner to a lefty is not a strike today. Or very often based on gp's ump jack picto-graph.

 

[tzill]

28 pitches through two for Cainer...who has FOUND his FB, lads....

 

[tzill]

Cainers zone so far:

 

[tzill]

Ross is still Boss...

 

[gp956]

Nate!

 

[Heathbar012]

If everyone is getting umpjacked, that's just status quo, right? According to the above, this guy seems to be doing a pretty good job. Gift to Cody last AB, though.

 

[tzill]

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEE!

 

[tzill]

Hudson's zone:

 

[tzill]

Whitey saved that inning for the GMen....Miggy and DeRo's ABs were fucking atrocious.

18 pitches that inning; 27 for the game for Hudson. I really would like to see some patient ABs in the third.

Yes. Only occasionally will you see bias towards a team in an umpire's zone - usually when a pitcher is in the late stages of a historic game, e.g. perfect game, strikeout record.

 

[gp956]

I guess this is Nate's game.
