No ace, great 'pen.  That formula can work as well.

Drew Storen.  Wow.  Good guy.  Bad luck.

he made his pitch. sandoval was just on it the whole time.

Seemed safe at the plate to me.  Even in slo-mo.

[gaaaaaaaaah]

I think it could have gone either way but since they called out on the field it was tough to overturn

Of course it came down to a posey play at the plate

[stevewizzle]

this is ugly.  sometimes an ump will give the corners of the plate, but rarely do you see such a narrow, long strike zone. 

[gaaaaaaaaah]

that strike three to cabrera was a strike. weird strike zone tonight, but you cant take that pitch.

more importantly, this does not bode well for storens longterm future here. fair or not, all the progress hes made towards assuming the closers role is gone.

that 2-0 strike call on harper was bad.  cabrera's called strike three was close and you're right, he can't take that pitch. but his strike two is called a ball 99% of the time.   either way, they seem lost at the plate all day.

agree with all of this

weird zone but tough to find sympathy for an offense thats missed this many chances so far. dont put the game in the umpires hands and youll have nothing to complain about. serious shades of 2012 with these guys right now. somethings gotta change and fast

rendon though, that guy is something else.

Steve Wizzle we missed you tonight.

[stevewizzle]

ha ha i was about to correct myself... obviously except rendon.

matt williams has his work cut out for himself to get these guys ready for game 3, regardless of the outcome of this game.
