GTFO, two bloop hits and one quality hit and they've figured him out???

i am not watching this game since i have a lot more on rays... but by looking at gameday, houston already have 3 doubles and 1 single with only one out in 4th inning..... and gave up 3 runs....

First double was legit, second hit the foul line and bounced in to the stands, then a bloop single and a legit double, but wouldn't have scored the 3rd run had J-Hey not mis-played it in the corner. Also on one of those at-bats Minor threw a very good pitch on a 2-2 count that was called a ball, next pitch was a hit. Thats baseball of course, but doesn't mean he's not pitching well.

CollegePro · 08-09-10, 08:25 PM

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-09-10, 08:25 PM

Lets get it back this inning.

Not a problem, I;m on the Rays as well, hopefully we can hit both

CollegePro · 08-09-10, 08:27 PM

wow...that was fast inning.....

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-09-10, 08:28 PM

I'm on the Braves RL so I need this to turn around

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-09-10, 08:34 PM

That was a pretty quick inning there too.

CollegePro · 08-09-10, 08:36 PM

whatsgood5 · 08-09-10, 08:37 PM

That'll help with my Mac over C Lee in total bases play!!! Fukk yeahhhhhh

CollegePro · 08-09-10, 08:37 PM

McCann hit a bomb!!!!!

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-09-10, 08:37 PM

There we go

whatsgood5 · 08-09-10, 08:38 PM

Almost went back to back there, ten feet shy on Hinske's part...

whatsgood5 · 08-09-10, 08:43 PM

Four pitch walk with two pitches in the strike zone, you're killin' me ump

clonecat · 08-09-10, 08:44 PM

Dreaded lead off walk, have been impressed with Minor thus far. Three runs should have been at most one, but the balls had eyes.

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-09-10, 08:44 PM

Minor has been shaky in my opinion. Thats twice they stole on him.

We disagree on this. At least as of now, he's pitched quite well in my opinion, just hasn't gotten much breaks.

clonecat · 08-09-10, 08:47 PM

He has had to work hard, but I think he has only made one or two bad pitches.

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-09-10, 08:49 PM

Lets hope he gets out of this inning with the lead. I think they should let the bullpen finish off the rest of this game.

whatsgood5 · 08-09-10, 08:49 PM

And there's some more bad luck for the kid...

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-09-10, 08:50 PM

Again blows the lead.

absolute · 08-09-10, 08:52 PM

Frickin Atlanta cant field the dam ball. this game should be 4-0

pavyracer · 08-09-10, 08:52 PM

Braves defense is a joke.

Gonzo's one hell of an interesting fielder. He'll make an amazing play, then the next thing you know he'll find a way to botch a routine grouder, very puzzling.

whatsgood5 · 08-09-10, 08:54 PM

Solid game for Minor, lets get some runs this inning and hand it over to Dunn.

clonecat · 08-09-10, 08:54 PM

Braves have three great young lefties in Dunn, Venters and Minor. As a Brewer fan, I wish they would have traded Minor for Corey Hart.

pavyracer · 08-09-10, 08:54 PM

It's not just him. They did the same crap on the game they lost to the Giants.

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-09-10, 08:59 PM

Lets take the lead here.

whatsgood5 · 08-09-10, 09:02 PM

Good to see Omar extend his hit streak, would be even better to see him cross the plate this inning.

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-09-10, 09:03 PM

Pitching chance here, this is where I expect the Braves to take the lead and the win.

whatsgood5 · 08-09-10, 09:06 PM

Nothing makes me more angry than a reliever that comes in and walks people, unless it's on the other team...then I love it. Lets see if Chip can stay hot!

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-09-10, 09:07 PM

C'mon Chipper!

whatsgood5 · 08-09-10, 09:08 PM

Agggh not what I was hoping for there...
