So he went from possibly having a fairly quick inning, to throwing at least 20 pitches now

How many times this season hasn't he had a 20 pitch first inning? I'm not kidding. Swear, it seems like he just can't stand not to have at least one base runner and 20+ in the first.

Hitting the cut-off man is just a lost art form isn't it?

One thing not mentioned much this year is our 1st and 3rd base coaches. Imo they have been a huge improvement.

That was a really terrific AB for Moreland there. Not just b/c of the hit, which was really good to see. But he worked the pitcher like crazy.

Much of that was due to them fouling off pitches and not so much of him throwing the ball all over the place and then walking hitters. Bautista earned that walk.

Sure was. They sure had him playing shallow.

I was thinking the same thing. Just as soon as he hit it, I went "good grief..they had him at LL distance."

But hey, it was still a catch of beauty.

Apparently Venable just plays a shallow LF.
