When Sheff gets two strikes he starts that slider over the plate trying to get them to bite but it has so much break that it ends up well out of the zone and they usually don't swing. I would like to see him start it way out to the left and have it come back to the outside corner to righties to get the called third strike or force them to swing.

Alright, bottom 2nd. Next four M's batters average out at a collective .140 b.a.

ERUPT slackers!

Ooops, bad math, forgot Lopes with his impressive .225.
Anyway, their bats need massive Viagra injections!

He could learn that as he continues on..... Randy certainly perfected one of those sliders.... "Mr Snappy".
Justin looks like the stronger pitcher today...let's see if he can keep it up when the Rocks get their second look

For Fucks sake that swing by White made Zunino seem like Edgar.

Show me something that gets out of the infield or out of the catcher's mitt, you pussies.

I'm just surprised Scott Cervix doesn't have a couple of them in the top half of the order...

Great pick by Dee but why can't these guys throw the ball 90ft without bouncing it?
