SATURDAY GAME THREAD vs Marlins 5/12/18

Is it impressive to pitch around a guy at 3rd with 1 out? You have about a 50/50 shot at them not scoring.

Soroka appears to be short arming pitches as if aiming. Haven't seen much "follow through". Maybe it's because he feels the squeeze??

'The squeeze'? Can you elaborate? Never pitched in my life.

 

[atl717]

Soroka definitely throws two versions of a slider

Every pitcher pretty much does.

As in a tight zone!!!

 

[thewupk]

How much longer?

 

[Hawk]

How much longer?

Ah...gotcha. thought it may be a reference to the feel of the ball

Not sure but I think he means the ump is giving Soroka a smaller strike zone than his pitching counterpart.

 

[TheBravos]

Joey Bats is pretty much an automatic out. Like batting two pitchers.

 

[thethe]

How much longer?

Another chip and Joe reference? I just watch the other teams commentators now. It makes it a much more enjoyable viewing experience.

 

[msstate7]

Bautista .130 avg .433 ops

Please end this

I want to see another 10 games because things can change quickly. It doesn't look good right now.

as expected Joey Bats with a continued degradation of skills. he can still take the walks but he's pretty much in Dan Uggla territory now

[thethe]

Where did this inciarte come from?

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Ender has perfected the late foot first slide.

 

[Hawk]

[Ozzie Swanson]

If they overturn this MLB officially hates us.

last year, minors numbers this year, and what he's done so far in Atlanta. It's quite obvious.

Ender looks out
