Gah.

Why’s Ascanio up?! Isn’t potential relief in the 5th ideal Lieber territory?!

Sometimes Lou forgets that Lieber is on the team...

His last outing was solid!

And he’s good for an inning or two, unlike some of these other dudes who are like a lucky batter or two at best!

What on EARTH is that big fist thing they are doing in San Fran?! They keep showing shots of it and I is confused.

Roids can do crazy things to the hands if that’s the case.

When they acquired Latroy Hawkins..

...they had to remind him that wasn’t a Giants outfielder’s glove.

I've got a delay, what pitch

by slcathena on Jul 3, 2008 7:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

oh. nope. not a ball, then.

it’s not like it’d make the batter swing at empty air. and if he did, it’s still not a strike

by Shanghai Badger on Jul 3, 2008 7:33 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He definitely does.

I wish someone would get a close up on that.

I don't know how!!!

Anyone know how to capture an image off a TV? I can rewind to that point….

by crazymountain on Jul 3, 2008 7:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

i beleive you can if you try to deceive the batter

then its a ball

I hear Tony La Russa may bat the Pitcher spot cleanup

by jds2 on Jul 3, 2008 7:32 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

yes, that is true

but if you break contact with the bases empty, no harm no foul

by Shanghai Badger on Jul 3, 2008 7:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

But if you break contact when you are delivering the ball.....

what he is doing is pitching from a foot in front of the rubber.

by crazymountain on Jul 3, 2008 7:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

it is the way he leverages his body.

the Cubs should give the film to the umps. it is hard to see it real time, but anyone would throw harder if they can pick up their back leg before they release the ball!

Rule 8.01(b)

“Comment: With no runners on base, the pitcher is not required to come to a complete stop when using the Set Position. If, however, in the umpire’s judgment, a pitcher delivers the ball in a deliberate effort to catch the batter off guard, this delivery shall be deemed a quick pitch, for which the penalty is a ball. See Rule 8.05(e) Comment.”

it is going to be real hard to

pick up the ball in another 10 minutes when that shadow crosses home plate. It would nice to score some runs this inning. Let’s go, DeRo!!

by LAcarl519 on Jul 3, 2008 7:39 PM CDT   0 recs

terrific! :-)

BTW, I met a guy the other day who played baseball with him at Penn (college) and the guy said DeRo was a great guy in college. No surprise.

i live in philly

and run into fans who have followed him – a guy at the Y always asks about him

when we went to the games here, he was one of the most popular players before the game

Win.

BTW, I went to Penn too

Just a question, is Harkem (sp?) College still there?

sorry, don't know

I’m Chicagoan by birth and a Temple (Tyler Art) guy by education – don’t know Harkem (sp?) – been here for 20 years but I don’t get out much….

Win.

by RavenswoodRob on Jul 3, 2008 7:52 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

it was our old stomping ground for "dates"

30+ years ago when I was in college. Not a place we went for education. :-)
