Kelly needs to get good pitches here!

 

[lonesometiger]

They well be off and running

 

[kalinecountry]

that's the burnett I remember pitching for the yankees,
walks, bases loaded,

Kelly takes a fastball down broadway strike, outside, low, fastball fouled back, inside full count, popped foul right at the rail to the stands....
fongool

Kelly with a career .412 average with bases loaded fouls out to 3rd. 3rd baseman reaches into the seats to make the grab.

 

[lonesometiger]

Good Grief a foul on a pitch that looked good enought to drive!

Price mentioned the fans needed to help out on that one.

 

[manchild98]

That seems to be the theme early in this season. We just can't get that big, clutch hit in those situations.

 

[dpinsea]

Damnit.

Well, at least we can forget about this team's struggles every 5th game when JV pitches.

We are dead last in the AL with a .154 average with the bases juiced.

They do. That's when fans need to understand which team is at bat, etc. Unfortunately, very few of those people attend games. I remember seeing a highlight about a year ago where a guy was sitting down the right field line in the outfield in SF. A ball came his way and he reached over the rail and caught it before the SF right fielder could catch it. The right fielder was pissed and started screaming at him like WTF are you doing? The guy pointed to his SD Padres cap....funny as hell.

Seems like the only time Dirks can't get a hit.

12 pitch inning for Smyly, now 66 total.

 

[manchild98]

Alright Dirks, nice start to the inning...leadoff opposite field double.

 

[dpinsea]

Alright Prince, drive something.

 

[manchild98]

That's 2 nights in a row Prince did that. This one barely rolls foul.

 

[manchild98]

Prince 2-2!!!!

 

[manchild98]

Now they are saying, we should have picked it up in fair territory.

 

[manchild98]

DY is heating up.

 

[dpinsea]

Nice, thats something I can get used to seeing.

 

[kalinecountry]
