49 pitches through 3 for Z
31 strikes.
Jerry’s been so distant lately and Lovie barely calls.- Just Dave
Z looks like he's had a productive vacation..
Too many pitches, but maybe he’l settle down (most were in second inning).

I'm going to go ahead and predict a 3 run inning
I have so much caffeine and migraine medicine running through me that I’m probably out of my mind, but I look into my heart, and this is what I saw. I think I’ll even write a haiku about it.

Big Z cranked one out
Bradley got on base again
Everyone else sucked

4 pitches
in that AB from Theriot.
When your pitcher has more power than your SS… something is wrong.

the theriot hate is absurd
i mean really absurd
Then ignore it.

I actually don't really hate him
I just don’t think he’s a SS no matter how “scrappy” he is.
Jerry’s been so distant lately and Lovie barely calls.- Just Dave
so if he was a second baseman his power
would be different. Your comment had zero to do with his position.
You are absurd!
You! Yeah you! Don’t go looking around you like I’m talking to someone else.
I’m talking…to you.
Absurd. You.
