2nd_city_saint787 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 2 of those pitches coulda been called strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) GameDay nugget of wisdom. Trying to throw inside because Duncan is hitting .222 against pitches there versus .224 overall. Haha. That's going a little bit overboard with their computer analysis software of trends. Danks has YET to throw a curveball all game. Weird. Not sure how he can make it as a two pitch pitcher with a diminished fastball. Cutter isn't working well, either. Just fastball and slider pitcher for the moment. And he's struggling to put away hitters because his stuff just isn't as crisp, not sure why. This AB started with an 0-2 count and has climbed to 12 pitches already and still no out.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 f*** you Shelly Duncan. He pops it up, but he won that AB big time. 13 pitches? f*** that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Pretty fortunate Santana tried the delay steal trick again or this inning would look quite differently. Last time, AJ threw the ball into CF. This time, he was out by a country mile and should have turned back he was that far away from being safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ May 8, 2012 -> 06:42 PM) I don't know what's gotten into AJ In all seriousness, Cowley might have been able to throw out Santana there on a delayed steal with a C/1B/DH running.

I don't really believe in that, because hitters eventually just get in to swing mode and are going to try and make contact with anything. There is a no doubt a long AB is in favor of the hitter, but because of the pitch count, not really the likely success of an at-bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 I love it. You never see a hitter strike out without looking back at the mound at some point as if to say "what's going on out there?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And pitch count has nothing to do with it, Danks wasn't going to tire in an at bat against Duncan in the 2nd inning. Batters get the advantage because they get to see everything the pitcher's got. And "swing mode" doesn't mean "swing at everything mode". Duncan was hitting the ball hard on a lot of those pitches by Danks, and they were in various parts of the zone. Then he gets one right down the pipe and pops it up. A better hitter murders a number of those pitches that Danks threw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time the pitcher gets the advantage is when the hitter is the type to mindf*** himself throughout an at bat. Generally speaking, it's tough on the pitcher to see everything he's got being whacked at (somewhat) successfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
