A Walker Walk-Off!

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Good ballgame by both teams. Good to see MLB replay made the the right reverse call late in the game...NEXT!

I know it's only one game, but kind of funny Travis Ishikawa has the most hits on our team. Otherwise good outing for Frankie, all of the relief guys did their jobs. Solid first win.

I hope today is an indication that Frankie's season was not a fluke in 2013, and that Searage really and actually fixed him.

I think that's what we're all hoping lol. But seriously, he looked good today, the off speed stuff was filthy as usual and commanded his FB well for the most part.

too bad they miss so many pitches. it will be hard for him to go 7 or 8 innings if he can't hit more bats.
102 on the first game after missing his last start. looks like groin is fine but hope we didn't over do it on the first day.

he was great tho. great way to start. he loves PNC

Game two about to start. Let's go Bucs!

 

[Darkstone42]

Ground Chuck good in the first.

Weak ground ball base hit, pickoff, then two strikeouts.

And to the pickoff, Bonafacio has been picked off twice now in two games, and it would have been three had Ishikawa held onto the ball early in yesterday's game. I think he needs a talking-to.

(After this series is over, of course.)

 

[Darkstone42]

Ground Chuck clean through two, getting out of a bit of a jam that time.

 

[Darkstone42]

Mercer draws first blood with an RBI single. 1-0 Bucs!

 

[Darkstone42]

And Mercer was picked off. Should have dove back instead of sliding.

 

[Darkstone42]

Morton with 5 Ks through 3.

 

[Darkstone42]

Morton scoreless through six. Took a liner off his glove hand, but he should be alright.

 

[thedddd]

Well I hope the offense shows up sooner or later.

The only way that ball hit Marte's bat is if he had another bat in his pants. If this is how replay is going to work they need to go back to the drawing board.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Hold the line boyz!

2 runs on 3 hits?

WELL DONE!

Looked rather obvious that it went of Castillo's glove, don't know if replay officials have sound, but you could clearly hear the sound of the ball hitting the leather as well. Also disappointing it took that long.

 

[thehobocop]

Wow. What happened to Emilio Bonifacio? Back to back 4 hit games to start the year. Pretty impressive.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Christ...BOTH teams I backed today have dropped turds in the ninth...Always comes down to bullpens or lack there of...

Gotta love baseball...9 innings, 27 per...
