When you strike out and pop up on the infield in that situation I am calling it a choke..be different if he hit it hard at someone or something

whew..way to pitch out of it....let's get some runs now

Hard to call anything a choke when .333 is pretty damned good overall. Clutch? No.

Young battles back to get out of the inning.

[Ceej]

Melky needs to get back on them PEDs.

I think "lack of execution" is a better, more accurate way of putting it.

[C3HIEF3S]

Way to bounce back there, CY.

call it what you will, it all ends up with the same result

What's disappointing is he struck out on a shoulder high pitch on his first ab. Took a pitch that literally hit the center of the pitch trax, and popped out on the next pitch his 2nd ab. I don't know about choking, but it was 2 shit abs.

[C3HIEF3S]

Both teams have missed opportunities so far.
It's almost like we're watching a baseball game.
