at least Escobar shows some kind of emotion out there

Interesting tidbit in this morning’s Columbia SC paper: Since the Tex trade tv viewership is up 35% for TBS games and 72% for games on the Fox networks. Of course with more people hearing Chip Caray Maalox sales are probably also up.

Finally some power over the last 7-8 innings. Homers had been pretty scarce lately.
This is why people hate umpires. The hitter didn’t even pretend to try to get out of the way. If you don’t try to avoid the baseball you aren’t entitled to the base.
I mean, this is what lawyers call black-letter law:
The batter becomes a runner and is entitled to first base without liability to be put out (provided he advances to and touches first base) when —
[6.08](b) He is touched by a pitched ball which he is not attempting to hit unless (1) The ball is in the strike zone when it touches the batter, or (2) The batter makes no attempt to avoid being touched by the ball;
If the ball is in the strike zone when it touches the batter, it shall be called a strike, whether or not the batter tries to avoid the ball. If the ball is outside the strike zone when it touches the batter, it shall be called a ball if he makes no attempt to avoid being touched.
well, good to see butterbean not give up another game. i can only hope the nats will be as generous to the braves as they were with the mets. lets hope we can muster something in the win column against the reds
is there runs to be had in this thread?
well throw him a stike if you dare-a
he dared-a, TEX !!!
Tex!
gone with wind, like scarlet ohara
Think Tex likes playing in Atlanta??
Teixeira: “Apparently I have to do everything by myself around here.”

Harris with a triple!!!!
KJ!! how did that not get out?
Wasn’t that a homer?
nope it hit the line, unfortunately
was that a 5 pitch inning?
will he hit another pair-a?
he walks-a
Thats not the first time Escobar has had a bad throw on a DP.
Nats still lead the Mets 2-1 heading to the 6th. Phillies up a run early against the Pirates.
And Beltran just homered to tie it.
Okay, I’ll shut up now.

Smoltzie with eleven K’s, count em
K K K K K K K K K K K
does he come out for one more inning
Smoltz is at 98 pitches.
My guess: If we tack on a run, he’s out. If we don’t, he returns until he gives up a baserunner.
Tex needs to hit one more
Let’s not make it interesting, Big Boy.
Ron Mahay For Closer!
I’m starting the movement.
its wayyyy too interesting, you cant walk that guy and bring the tying run to the plate.
easy out here BOB
Moylan or Mahay or anyone else right now
Come on Wick…
Ball Game, great job from Smoltz today
8IP 2ER 11K’s
Man… does it have to be so shaky Wick??
and Wick somehow gets out of that with no runs scored, amazing
Phils up 4-0 in the 6th
Mets up 6-2 in the 9th
maybe SD can lose today
