Is it just me or has there been an unusually high amount of batters getting plunked this year? That minor leaguer we have really takes the cake in the hit batsman department. I can’t think of his name, but he’s already beaned 5 batters this year….and that’s in only 3 2/3 innings of labor. If this disturbing trend continues, our dear Commissioner will probably start awarding 2 bases for getting plunked.
Had my one brewski for the night. I’m relaxing with a cup of coffee and I just remembered a slice of cheesecake I still have in the fridge.
Oh lookie lookie there. See the big long haired goofball in the green shirt sitting smack dab behind home plate. That’s not nice…. I’m sure he’s a very nice young man. But the dynamite looking blonde sitting two seats to his right(our left), would have RatsBuddy chirping until the cows came home if he sees her. I bet Rat and his pooch are fast asleep on his easy chair as we speak though.
Pugs—-I don’t know the record, but it does seem more hit batsmen this year .
A walk to the pitcher and hit batsmen gives the Padres 2 base runners.
Man, I’m just not big on oviedo. I know lots of people are but I just see a pitcher that makes pitching look like work, kind of like gant. There just doesn’t seem to be a natural flow
Be careful Oviedo….that runner nearly outhustled him to 1st. Well, with 42 heaves in only 2 frames, he won’t be around that much longer anyway. But…..I like the young man. If he plays his cards right, he’ll have a nice career.
You might be on to something Pugs. In 2019, the MLB HBP rate was 1.064%. This year it’s 1.225% thus far. That might not seem like much, but that’s a 15% increase, which would translate into about 300 more hit batters this season.
I think it’s universally acknowledged to expect more hit batters after a pandemic-shortened season.
Musgrove completely got away with a terribly fat pitch on 3-2. Arenado must have just not realized it was a fastball. Then grounds into the double play.
Top of 3
Oviedo – Strikes out swinging.
Edman – Lines a base hit to right and the Cardinals have just won this game…..as the aforementioned 17-0 Cards mark when Tommy gets a hit this year might legitimately dictate.
Carlson – On 2-1, he crushes a foul ball to right 452 feet away….straighten that baby out Dylan. On 3-2 Dylan walks on a low inside heater. This kid is going to be so good. I think a much better career than JD Drew had, when it’s all said and done.
Goldy – Does he have the green light on 3-0? Not on a pitch a foot out of the zone, as Goldy will trot on down to 1st. Bases bubbling over with Birds with just one out…sweet.
Arenado – On 3-1 Nolan swings at ball 4….which was over but high. Oh no….4-6-3 twin killing extinguishes the Redbird threat.
Cards 0
SD 1Yadi –
Well arenado had some pitches to hit but didn’t come through. Did the worst thing you could do in that situation. Fight on
