That’s very true, but you can’t sit there and take on 3-2 unless it’s not even remotely close to being a strike. Anything even kind of borderline that is probably a ball you need to foul off. That’s taught at even the youngest of levels. Anything close on 3-2, you swing. 3-2 dictates you protect the plate.

Also hard to bad mouth the ump when you foul off 4 or 5 and then get called out on a close pitch.

Need about 4 runs here.

Finally

Heim getting his timing back.

Need about 4 runs here.

How bout 3!!!!!!

 

[Senator_fan]

Garver’s at bat was horrible.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Garver’s at bat was horrible.

I’m a Garver fan in general, but that was awful. You can’t do that there, but it’s just another example of the stupid stuff we’ve been doing lately on offense to sabotage ourselves.

At least Heim got redemption.

 

[Duane1952]

How bout 3!!!!!!

I’ll take that.

Agreed but the location was a ball the umpire made a bad call

 

[DT LUNA]

The Clerk!

 

[Duane1952]

Well that didn’t last long.

 

[Duane1952]

I sure hope LeLerc is not here next season.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Nice to see Will Smith have two straight good outings.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

We have some incredibly good ABs tonight on guys really making the pitcher work. We need to see that more often.

For sure.

Our bullpen is just so absurdly bad. It's comical at this point.

 

[DT LUNA]

Lowe you must protect the plate.

 

[Duane1952]

Lowe you must protect the plate.

Especially late in a tied game.

 

[DT LUNA]

I do not believe at this point that we have either the pitching or hitting to make the post season.

I am starting to feel the same way
