Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 04:07 PM) Got a little too cute walking Danks. Semien crushed it. Good thing Balta wasn't managing again because Semien wouldn't have been leading off. Kind of but he kept throwing curve balls and hung one.

Brian26 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Did DeAza have two strikes on him when he was hit? The only thing I can come up with is they called it a strike because he got hit by a pitch in the strikezone (he's standing on top of the plate). http://www.qcbaseball.com/baseball_r...by_pitch1.aspx Hit by Pitch When a Batter Should Not be Awarded First Base It may seem obvious when a batter is hit by a pitch and awarded first base, but there are some cases where a base may not be awarded. If the ball touches the batter as the batter swings at the ball. This basically means that if the batter is swinging at the ball and the act of swinging has caused the ball to hit the batter, then the ball is a strike. Example: Batter swings and the ball hits him on the forearm as he's swinging. The ball is dead and it is a strike. If the hitter has two strikes, it is strike 3 not a foul ball. This isn't called often as most of the time the player will stop the swing and be hit by the ball. In that case most umpires will determine that the player is attempting to get out of the way by not continuing the swing. So, even though the act of swinging has caused the ball to hit the batter, the umpire may determine that player attempted to get out of the way and award the batter first base.

BigHurt3515 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think Johnson could have at least started this inning when we are up by 6 and he just had a 1-2-3 inning.. I don't understand what Robin is doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you give this pen an extra inning to screw it up? Weird, pen not too far removed from several heavy outings, 6-run lead. And also on paper one of the better pen arms (poor start notwithstanding) throwing in a really low-leverage situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make sense to take out your starter when you are up by 6 and he has only let up 1 hit, 87 pitches, and just came off his best outing. And our bullpen has been awful this year, they might be rested but that doesn't mean you cut your starter short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
