Nothing upsets me more than trying to run when there is no need to. It looked to me like Freel's determination to steal really kept Griffey out of sync. In the first inning, he takes a huge lead (in fact, I said to my son it was a big lead), so we go from runner on first with one out to inning over in two throws. Not smart.
Oh well, it's just par for the course it seems. Let's hope Harang is on tonight.

When Wily Mo stops swinging at the curve down and away..he'll really improve

Dunn gets pitches at his ankles called strikes (first pitch)

Well there was some need to. If he was safe it would only take a single to score him which is a much better chance than Griffey or Pena getting an extra base hit.
If he got a stolen base then nobody would be complaining. It's kind of unfair to base this situation on results.
looks like the plate is about 25 inches wide tonight. I hope Harang gets the same calls.
It's one thing to get thrown out by the catcher...but the pitcher, that's another matter.Originally Posted by Austin Kearns

well, the k's are out in full force again...for some unknown reason though, i have a feeling we can full this one out

It happens. If you never get picked off it means you are not taking a big enough lead.
I'll be worried if this keeps up twice through. Right now, oh well.

That was my point. My old baseball coach used to say if you're going to make an out on the basepaths, it had better be because you got caught stealing, or something to that effect.
I know the strike zone is generous tonight, but what's with Griffey, Dunn, and Lopez taking all those down the middle?

School's out. What did you expect?
I loath that wall.

Breaking balls to start and fastballs to finish, looks like he got them off balance, the K pitch to Dunn was in a great spot, one that Dunn can't get too often.I know the strike zone is generous tonight, but what's with Griffey, Dunn, and Lopez taking all those down the middle?
The Great One is in the house according to the Red Sox Announcers
