It was a joke.. lol. Sorry you aren't handling it well.

[RandyMarsh]

Bad news is that Manning has given up 3 runs already, the good news is that he has induced 6 whiffs on just 36 pitches.

i'm handling it fine.  smart ass comments get smart ass responses.

welcome to the board.

[RandyMarsh]

Nice to see Manning touch 97mph there.

Hence this discourse. You made a smart ass comment, I made a smart ass response.

Not sure what the issue is. But let's get back to the game.

Wendelstedt squeezing Manning

[gehringer_2]

Last thing for Matt is be able to work in/out while staying in the zone. Too many pitches in the middle third even if he is managing to move them up and down.

i wonder if batting greene so close to baddoo is causing baddoo's suck to rub off on him?

That was tip your hat AB. Giolito got him on a perfect pitch.

That’s very promising even though nothing can be trusted to work like it should in that shithole ballpark including the radar gun

[gehringer_2]

Wendelstedt *really* squeezing Manning. Costs another run

he's hitting .230.  they all arent perfect pitches.

[gehringer_2]

Shep and Morris amazed at how much hitting is going on. When the ump has a postage stamp K zone there's going to be a lot of hitting!

btw, that was the exact same pitch carpenter walked on.

[RandyMarsh]

That was Manning at his best against Abreu. Swinging miss on a 94 FB up and in for strike one, swinging strike on a slider down and away for strike 2 and swinging strike 3 on 96 up and away.

not, but that one was. And he even got the call, which given the Kzone tonight could easily have gone against Giolito on a pitch that close to the corner.

yeah - working the corners tonight with Hunter is a crap shoot.

[buddha]

why would anyone ever throw javy a strike?

[gehringer_2]

If I am Haase, I'm going to set up more inside/outside for Manning. He's still throwing too much in the middle but that's where Haase is giving him the target on most pitches.

[buddha]

good inning from manning.  getting stronger as the game has gone on.

[gehringer_2]

That was perfect against Garcia- came inside just enough that time.
