Fucking douchebag.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Bradley never protects on a full count, though. He just assumes a walk is coming. I'm done with his sorry ass.

It was clearly ball 4 though, just like the St. Louis game.

Not clearly enough, apparently.

I'm a huge believer on protecting when it's close with 2 strikes, but if you have 3 balls and you think it's a ball, why would you swing? Even gameday has it as a ball.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It was a ball, but it was close enough not to risk taking it.

If he'd have swung and made an out, you'd have been screaming about him swinging at ball 4.
