Giving us a chance.

Torres swinging at curve balls......ouch.

Welp, those at bats in the 8th really hurt now.

Yes, you realized that your original post was terrible. The location was bad. The pitch call wasn't bad since we certainly didn't call for it to be belt high.

What horrible luck.

You can throw the same pitch if the intent is to throw it somewhere other than belt high. You're assuming that we threw it exactly where JD wanted it. FYI, a curve ball can be thrown to countless different locations.

That's the big dilemma for the coaches when it comes to small ball. We can't get bunts down, but we also watch dudes blow it in big situations when we let them hit.

This is child's play. A curve ball off the plate, a curve ball in the dirt, both are 1000x more effective than floating one over the plate like we did. Take that 3-2 pitch to Urso. A fastball belt high gets hit. A fastball chest high is a swing and a miss. One fastball good, one fastball bad.

Right there.

Yes, I do know what I'm talking about. I should show you my team's pitching stats through the first seven games. Yes, location is everything. You just outed yourself. Not the type of pitch; the location. That breaking ball wasn't supposed to float over the plate. The problem was the execution...

It's 11-11 following a 16-12 game. One pitch call isn't making the difference. Maybe there's just a lot of offense here.
