It was a strange move. Alex went on first movement, and the pitcher hesitated his leg almost in mid air

Is Rex getting worse? He definitely isn't growing on me.

I feel a Sonic Slam coming........just wait.

Frenchy keeps swinging at balls

He can step to an unoccupied base if a play is coming to it.

Frenchy has been taking BP with Alice it seems.

He's only half way through every baseball/sports cliche known to man. Last inning we got the gems "humble pie" and "stay within yourself." Stay tuned........

This is the Frenchy we thought we were getting.

Another terrible AB for Frenchy..swung at 2 pitches no where close to being a strike

I was disgusted by the "there are a lot of teams with higher payrolls that are also sucking right now" rhetoric.

The only way to get out of this slump is to keep playing hard. But stay loose. One game at a time. Don't try to do too much. See the ball, hit the ball. Keep your head in the game. Realize it's a marathon, not a sprint. There's still plenty of time to turn things around. Guys have to step up. We have to pick each other up too. Play the game the way it's supposed to be played. Rome wasn't built in a day.... I mean... we just need a key hit. We need to get on a roll. Get some confidence back. It's as mental as it is physical. We need to play to our strengths. Get in a groove. Together we can. Our time.

Slump buster.

He needs to stay within himself. Be patient at the plate. Look for his pitch. Don't try to do too much. See the ball, hit the ball. One hit at a time. String some things together.

If he breaks out Ducks are on the pond I might break my TV.

8.05

(c) The pitcher, while touching his plate, fails to step directly toward a base before throwing to that base;
Rule 8.05(c) Comment: Requires the pitcher, while touching his plate, to step directly toward a base before throwing to that base. If a pitcher turns or spins off of his free foot without actually stepping or if he turns his body and throws before stepping, it is a balk.
