DG, do not let him off so easily. I, in a way, am ashamed of you.

Blues keeping my M's down now for nearly 35 years, just another dagger..and late inning rally stolen.......did we all forget "two out's. so what?Okay made ya look.

Nah, blue thinks ya went, guess what? Ya went.
I think the kid really believed that was ball 4.

Blue shoulda waited for the appeal though,, been a great one to throw a pard under the bus.
Hey, just history on the line. Did he go?

In the still, I wish we could see blues eyes, does he give up on that pitch and stay with the batter? Or follow the ball what 3' outside and in the dirt? I know watching the replay in full speed I followed the ball.

Mechanically speaking blue must have some pretty good peripheral, and should probably do this for a living. Seems it shoula/coulda skewed his angle of the bat?

But hey, it's a PERFECTO.. Those other 26 outs had a lot more to do with it than "this one."

In this situation, the batter has two options: (1) Keep the bat on your shoulders; (2) Get caught swinging. He chose the latter.

Every time I watch the replay, he offers at the pitch. Never changes. As Mark Grant would say, "If he hits it it's a double."

Who is this "blue" you keep referring to? A dog?
