And we got 2 runs and are back in the game. There is a positive there.

[irishjayhawk]

Coco doesn't swing at a single pitch and we're within 1. Damn good.

Keep plugging away, boys!

[ChiTown]

wow.

3K's in 3 big situations. Yet, we score 2 runs. Strange inning

[petegz28]

It is almost a given that on an 0-2 count the next pitch will be a ball.

Anyone know of a station that's broadcasting the game and streaming it online?

[irishjayhawk]

I'm trying to stay positive with a 1 run game but bringing in Mahay is testing me.

Yup. You just don't swing on 0-2.

Unless you are facing a closer you are almost better off just letting the pitch go unless it is right down the pipe. For some reason over the last few years it has become this thing to throw a ball on 0-2 that isn't even close. And it's almost money to bet the count will go 0-2 to 1-2
