come on meek
2bb and 2 out's not going to work meek .
Tommy Hunter had a humorous take yesterday on the two home runs that he's served up to Boston third baseman Will Middlebrooks this spring.
I had to ask about them. He played along as only Hunter can do.
"He likes fastballs," Hunter said. "They were not good pitches. Middle, middle. Usually a pretty good pitch to hit. I'm setting him up for the season. He's probably going to get a couple offspeed pitches the next time up. Setting him up for the regular season, man. I want him to think that's all I've got. It's all in the chess game, right?"
Yes, that guy. The one who already homered off Hunter three days earlier.
"He did, on a 2-1 fastball that was in the exact same spot," Hunter said. "He likes that spot. I'm probably going to stay away from it during the season.
"If I face him again, you can go ahead and tell him he's probably going to get a couple curveballs and a couple changeups, and then he's going to get a fastball about right here."
Hunter raises his hand close to his chest.
"And then he's probably going to get another curveball and he's probably going to strike out," Hunter said. "Three or four pitches, give or take one."
