Canadian?

Si

Madson gets out of it.

White Sox are dogshit.

nice...way to hang in there

Good work, Madson.

pete delivers again!

Nice job by Madson to not let a pair of lucky hits get to him.

Attaboy, Maddog

that's 2 Dyson hit into bad luck

I can't take credit. I said they were "about" to tie, which they were. I never said they "would" tie. I'm saving that for later....

I didn't realize Moose's average had dipped below .300.

Moose has seen 30 pitches in four at bats? How times have changed.

Petegeezus shitting up another thread? Of his own?

Just a total reerun petard.

Yeah? And you suck lemons

I was just reading this thread, figured we were losing. Looked on my ESPN app and we were up 2.

Holy shit. Just tard-ing it up.

I didn't respond to that post simply because I didn't know how.
Are we now putting more value in a 5 pitch walk instead of a 12 pitch home run from our third baseman? LMAO

DP in this house....

Is swinging at 7 pitches out of the zone something you want to tout as good?

Morales:
9 innings
5 K's
2.00 ERA
1.11 WHP

You act like it's ****ing easy.
When you're down in the count, you're protecting the plate. You're in swing mode. It isn't as if there's a mechanism in Moose's brain that says "this pitch is a ball so don't swing" as soon as the pitcher releases the ball. It's not a video game. For Moose to battle that AB out through 12 pitches and then win that battle with a go-ahead homer.. to not accept that as good I just have no idea anymore.
Moose has shown more patience at the plate today than anyone else on either team.

Double down on it Pete.

You're saying that trading a BB for a HR is what you prefer. Something has punctured your blood brain barrier. Did you dig real deep in your nose today?

Decent.

Moose just wasted all those potential walks.

You're looking into things way too much. Moose was competing, and sometimes, that means swinging at pitcher's pitches because you don't want to go down when you think you can make contact and avoid it. Not every hitter can instantly tell where every pitch is, and most will swing if it's close and 2 strikes.

Slower than Billay?

Those 30 pitches are "totally unacceptable baseball".

162-0

I already said he batteled and the outcome is good ...but swinging at 7 pitches out of the zone doesn't say much for plate discipline..does it?

Yesm he hit a HR but most times that ends in an out and you know this

good plays are made because people are slow as ****.

If Moose swung at 7 pitches out of the zone and ended up striking out or hitting a weak grounder you guys would be bitching about him not taking the walk...William "20-20 hindsight" Irish would most likely be leading the way

4-2 going to Madson, Herrera, Davis, Holland. Cool, games over. I'll tune in at 7pm for Game 2.

What does about to tie mean?

Wade Davis' entrance music should be the Mr. McMahon theme song from WWE...

NO CHANCE
That's what you've got
NO CHANCE in hell

Unless an AB ends in a double play or isn't able to move a runner over, there is no such thing as a bad 12 pitch AB against a team's 1 or 2 SP.

It means they COULD'VE tied.....but didn't.

What's up with this clown pitcher for the Sox?

No profanity

No profanity! Wha?

Turrlbe

Down by 2 with 2 runners in scoring position with less than 2 outs???? :shrug:

Unless it ends badly then it's always good. Got it... :D

Nasty

come on, Holly, finish this shit

Davis w/13 pitches & Holland w/12 pitches.

Can they pitch tonight?

nice..game ovah!

Moose should have walked 7 times on 30 pitches today.

Hopefully we will be up by 4 or 5 and they won't need too

That's a good start to the second half. Let's make it even better.

Nice try, dickhead but you know what I said is right. Use that hindsight all you want cause it's all you got.

Pete, you're not right about anything. Unless you said you were a moron. Then you'd be right.

They almost let the sox tie the game.

Yeah. That's the way ya do it, ya play the gee-tar on the MTV!!!!!

Woot!

ROFL

And you'd still be a dickhead

Royals win!!! **** the White Sox.

Way to start the second half!

I can't believe Pete is complaining about a 12 pitch ab. That is a great at bat no matter the outcome. I didn't see the ab, but I don't have to to know that if Moose was at two strikes, any pitch that is close or he thought has a chance to be a strike, he must make contact with.

But keep bitching, by all means.

:thumb:

Wins a win ya all can continue arguing balls, balls swung at out of zone. I'm going to finish up and gear up for the twin killing later tonight. Have at it.

Sonny Gray going against the Twins tonight. We could push this up to 6 real quick.

Damn. Nice. We got to see a true MHDH today!

Ned said moose had great AB's all game.

But Pete said "no, that's not correct".

Directv is offering MLB Extra Innings free preview for a week too!

LMAO

yet, when a batter gets fooled with 2 strikes and doesn't swing .. it's ..

OMG WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT ?!?!

I don't think he understands the degree of difficulty hitting is ... but hey, ...Pete.

Shitty

His AB which resulted in the HR was nothing short of beautiful.

LOL

He would have been our all-star rep on a few teams. The year Crow went comes to mind.

Is the game-2 thread too?

@McCulloughStar: Chris Young's back locked up as the game went along, which affected his command. He felt a tad rusty on the mound after the break.
