The Dominican pitcher throws a ball to a Venezuelan hitter

and gets injured. On comes a pitcher from Canada. He throw a ball over his head, and the hitter twists down and pulls a muscle. The pinch-hitter is a LH American batter, so the manager brings in LH Puerto Rican pitcher, who throws a ball. The pitcher passes out from dehydration and is replaced by a LH prospect from Panama who throws ball four.

And then you have an International Walk

I like discussions

that might actually get somewhere. The debates where both sides are so firmly entrenched in their ideas and have become so familiar with opposing arguments are the ones that never seem to go anywhere. I have my own opinions on what I think should be done, but at the end of the day, it won’t really matter that much because the discussion won’t go anywhere.

by pedalpusher on Apr 6, 2009 4:55 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Look at it this way

the offense was NAILS despite facing an elite starter. Three hitters we wanted to see perform well to get off to a good start – Iannetta (soph slump), Tulo (traditionally slow starts) and Smith (perilous starting position?) ALL hit huge home runs. And Stewart did fine at 2B

Really the only down side of today was Cook….he was just WAY down.

Disappointing as it is to lose, there were those bright spots. I’m still scratching my head over some of Hurdle’s moves, but that is certainly nothing new. We’ll be fine. As TuloRocks2008 pointed out, Cookie won’t be down like this many times this season. On to Game 2 where we win 2-1!
