walks

[calfan810]

If ur not throwing 3 balls to every batter or walking 100 men a game...u aren't pitching to Matt wieters or pitching for buck showalter

 

[SteelersPride]

hmmm ok

 

[calfan810]

2 walks both have scored

 

[NJBuckO's]

Especially against a team like this.

 

[Youngfan9886]

This series could end our chances of the postseason. We would need a couple sweeps just to get back into it and we know how good the club is at sweeping teams.

 

[hattersgonnahate]

Sigh... is this team at a spot where they should consider promoting the entire 40-man roster in September as a means of preparing for 2014 (because they might be already out of the postseason race by then)?

 

[calfan810]

I swear I blame Matt wieters for this staff having such a high pitch count thru 5-6 innings

 

[NJBuckO's]

Pitchers get ahead and then they pitch scared.

 

[Youngfan9886]

Maybe a walk for us will score......one can hope.

 

[Youngfan9886]

2 walks, bases loaded, no outs. How will we screw this up? Everyone post their theories.

GITP?

 

[Youngfan9886]

I'm gonna say popup by Roberts, strikeout by Mclouth and groundout by Machado.

 

[Youngfan9886]

GITP?

If we ground into a triple play I would be impressed. That is like a whole another level of suck. But I consider it unlikely with Roberts up.

 

[Youngfan9886]

OMG we got a run. Yes it was a GIDP.... but we only lose by 1 now.

 

[calfan810]

Craziness...I think Roberts has seen 5 pitches all night...bases loaded no outs 1-0 count...why the fuck do u swing?

 

[NJBuckO's]

Just not their year I don't think.

 

[Youngfan9886]

Well I got a 1/3 of it right. Is it sad that 1 run out of that situation was more than I expected?

[Sarcastic post of the day]

Shopping list for 2014: 1-2 starting pitchers (preferably #2/3 or better), closer (or maybe an entire bullpen), 2B, DH, C, RF, manager, pitching coach, and maybe hitting coach (for better plate discipline)?

Anything else?

 

[Youngfan9886]

I've changed my mind on resigning Roberts. About to be 36, no speed left, no power, and average defense at best. Bring up Schoop.

 

[NJBuckO's]

Roberts is one of the guys I'd have wanted up in that situation, he usually does a good job of driving the ball into the OF. Not there.
