KevinGregg Verified Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Nasty movement on that fastball to K Smoak
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Well, at least they've already told me that Pillar is the final out, but I could have figured that one out based on the words "Kevin Pillar".
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 You dont do that s*** in the top of the 10th on opening day Sorry, you're right... he wanted to.
gruber92 Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Smoak leading off down by two with the shift on. f*** off and push one down third and get the tying run to the plate with no out.

Governator Community Moderator Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 vlad jr would have won us it in the 9th.
King Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 You throw 97-98 and you dick around with an 0-2 slider? GTFO As opposed to an 0-2 fastball with a runner on 1st in the top of the 10th?

KevinGregg Verified Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Fun game! Glad the Jays are back. Stroman, biagini, Giles looked good. No one else looked good. Vlad and bo cant come up fast enough
DigitalRock Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Going to be a very long season with this lineup.
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Fun game! Glad the Jays are back. Stroman, biagini, Giles looked good. No one else looked good. Vlad and bo cant come up fast enough Drury looked pretty good.
KevinGregg Verified Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 As opposed to an 0-2 fastball with a runner on 1st in the top of the 10th? Runner was on 2nd
KevinGregg Verified Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Drury looked pretty good. Yeah that's true.
gruber92 Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Bunting is dumb, and Smoak is probably bad at it. It's not dumb with the third baseman playing short. C'mon man seriously, push one down third and get the tying run to the plate. McKinney comes in to pinch run and play first base if we tie the game. You're going to see much more of this from teams this year.
DigitalRock Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Nothing wrong with a slider there.... The location was the problem.
gruber92 Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 As opposed to an 0-2 fastball with a runner on 1st in the top of the 10th? WTF are you talking about? Is there something wrong with elevating a 97 MPH fastball 0-2 with a man on first?
gruber92 Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Even better Man you're f***ing dumb
DigitalRock Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 WTF are you talking about? Is there something wrong with elevating a 97 MPH fastball 0-2 with a man on first? And if he misses his spot with the fastball and gets tatoo'd? Execution is more important than pitch selection.
Captain Adama Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Man you're f***ing dumb Back to your unintelligible rants I see
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 He hung a slider, he didn't execute the pitch, end of story. s*** happens, mistakes happen.

Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 He hung a slider, he didn't execute the pitch, end of story. s*** happens, mistakes happen. His numbers suggest that he's now a pretty s***** pitchers, we should generally expect pretty s***** results. I mean, if it was as simple as pitch selection, maybe someone would have talked with him about it and fixed that.
bones10 Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I feel like the tigers threw under 100 pitches today, everyone on O looked bad. Giles Biagini A+ though, Stroman B+.

I mean, if it was as simple as pitch selection, maybe someone would have talked with him about it and fixed that. Sure, I don't know what that has to do with a hanger, I'm just commenting on that particular pitch, it didn't bite and got crushed. Pitch selection was fine, he just didn't execute.
gruber92 Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Back to your unintelligible rants I see King brings it on, you know that. With a man on second and no out and an 0-2 count, you should stay hard up and away generally, especially when you throw in the upper 90's You want to try and prevent the LHH from pulling the ball and advancing the runner if you can. Executing is a given obviously. By staying hard up and on the outer half, you open up many more favourable outcomes where the runner does not advance on an out, opposed to something soft.
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Sure, I don't know what that has to do with a hanger, I'm just commenting on that particular pitch, it didn't bite and got crushed. Pitch selection was fine, he just didn't execute. He didn't execute, 'cause he's kinda s*****... That was my point. We can't just say "if only he'd done this", when we really mean "if only he'd been better at pitching..."
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Bunting is dumb, and Smoak is probably bad at it. But getting on base is good. If you're gud at the bunting then lay one down... That said, the shift is usually for guys that haven't bunted since they were 8. Edited March 29, 2019 by Krylian
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 He is a very very bad dude. Only a truly bad dude punches himself in the face.
