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.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It was clearly ball 4 though, just like the St. Louis game.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Not clearly enough, apparently.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
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.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
If he'd have swung and made an out, you'd have been screaming about him swinging at ball 4.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't think I've ever seen Bradley swing at ball four. If there are three balls, he's nearly always taking.

Len's killing me.

[Clapp]

Hey look, another hard hit ball right at a guy. This is so goddamn frustrating.

[Clapp]

Well we're gonna have our usual 1-2-3 up in the 8th I assume(Soriano, Theriot, Fukudome).

[Butcher]

This is never going to end.

Even the worst teams in baseball score more than a run every once in a while.

If this score doesn't change, our opposition has a 0.60 ERA against us in the last five games. What is it going to take to get Lou to blow a gasket? It is long overdue.

[Kid]

Len and Bob have been saying that Lou has been preaching relaxation. Obviously he thinks the problem is everyone is trying too hard.

His going nuts is going to have the opposite impact.

Yes, it absolutely will. If you want to really believe 90% of the team is going to have the worst year of their careers, have fun.

[Clapp]

That's how things are going.

[Butcher]

Of course.

Whatever he's doing, it's working out great. He should keep it up.

Oh please.

Do you really think Lou can't tell if they're playing tight?

[Fella]

lmao this game thread tonight is awesome.

[Clapp]

Bring me the girl in the green hat.

I'm pretty sure Lou can't tell his ass from a hole in the ground at this point. And Miles isn't a major league player.

Keep trying to hit a home run Theriot!
