This is going to be a complete heartbreaker.

Up to Glaus.
Oh.
Goody.

Dang it…took the bat outta Mac’s hands. Come on Glaus…break the ceiling!

I was just typing that I sensed a GIDP coming. I was right. They just blew the call.
Yeah Leah, I’m just going to call it like I see it with this set of games.

Yeah, the pitcher is completely upset, so swing at the first pitch.
It was off the plate, by the way. And Escobar gets two balls in a row. Glaus messed up, man. That was dumb.
There’s ball 3 to Esco, which would have been ball 4 to Glaus.

Heyward again. C’mon kid.
April 18th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
Unbelievable
April 18th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII*IIITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 18th, 2010 at 4:54 pm
What a game. I feel slightly better now.
April 18th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Man, oh, man!!!
April 18th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
GOT to swing better against bad pitchers, but this is one for the Legend.

Seriously… a bases loaded walk and then a walk off hit when DOWN a run and TWO outs… is it too soon to put Heyward at #2 or #3? C’mon, Chipper. Go to Bobby and volunteer the move. It would be a killer classy idea.
April 18th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
he certainly needs to be moved. i don’t know where, but the 8 hitter is a giant hole right now and certainly isnt helping him out at all. he has the most productive bat on the team. hit him clean up

Saw the end of the game, went crazy, rushed to choir and now sneaking a note to my ABT friends Hell to the Yeah!!!! Right under the director’s nose.

Sinner

No doubt.

Heyward with runners in scoring position, in 11 tries: .727 batting average. 1.982 OPS.
But let’s give him time to adjust.

I cannot get it out of my head. I’m going to watch every clip I can find! Such a great win!!!!!!
April 18th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Jim Powell’s call on Heyward’s walk off was another good one. I’ll think of his voice and Jason’s rise to stardom together.

Um…link for the inept? Couple three things…1st, let us not overlook Prado’s single to start the 9th. 2nd, I am convinced now more than ever that I wouldn’t know a balk if it bit me on the nose. 3rd, I’m always confused as to which pitcher wins the game. Did JJ win it? I would think no since he left the game while behind. Did EOF win? Should I just give it up all together? Sometimes I have more questions than answers. Thank for your support.
April 18th, 2010 at 9:16 pm
EOF got the win. JJ pitched a heck of a game with pitiful run support.
April 18th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
Bring on the Phillies!!

Leah, there are a number of things that serve to be a balk. The Rockies pitcher today seemed guilty of two of them. One, when you go into your wind up, he being left handed, he has to make his step toward first or toward home. He can’t step between the two. He has to commit to either throwing a pitch or throwing to first. If he does not he commits a balk. Reading that, it’s a terrible explanation so I hope you understand what I am trying to say. Second, he has to have a pause in his wind up. He can’t just make it all one motion. And this is what he was called for. Noted that he continued to not pause and quick pitch as Bobby called it, throughtout his time on the mound. Joe Simpson and Glavine both continued to point out that he was doing the same thing each pitch. So I hope that makes some sense.
April 18th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
That does make a lot of sense. The pause in his pitch issue…I assume this has something to do with the batter being able to be ready? Ok…one more question, (yea right…have we met?) I read that Jimenez started pitching from the windup in the 6th inning or something like that. Wasn’t he winding up in the first 5 innings?

Leah, if you’re on the old man’s laptop, here’s your balk info:
