Shox versus Noles (Game 1)

[JaminShock]

PLEASE WALK POSEY

No reason to bring the tying run to the plate. Just pitch around him and if you walk him, fine, but give him a chance to chase one.

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

I was interviewing the sweet hotness while all this was going down.

[Rosewood]

Looks like they are just not going to give him something to hit. Posey looks like he is taking until he sees what he likes and I hope he never sees it.

Now the intentional walk.

[ShockerFever]

Scratch the unintentional.

[Rosewood]

Jack Rye up w/ 2 outs.

(1-2 on the day, pop up and the single)

Rob behind, 2-0 on Rye

One of the illogical things baseball fans says is "that pitch was right where the other one was!" when one is called a ball and one is called a strike. No, one was CLOSE to being a strike, the other one WAS a strike. Rob's punch-out with one out in the 5th was a great pitch on the inside black.

Rob with his one walk of the game, and then walked Posey intentionally after a wild pitch moved the runner to second. 2 outs.

[ShockerFever]

Come on Rob.. No more walks.

[Rosewood]

92 pitches for Rob

3-0 count

Taking all the way: 3-1

Strike 2 called, full count

Runners 1st and 2nd

2 outs.

[Rosewood]

Base hit one run scores, runners first and second.

[ShockerFever]

As we've done to them.. WALKS WILL KILL.

[RoyalShock]

Great. And now their other HR hitter is up. Do you walk him?

[Rosewood]

Posey at Second
Rye at First
Guinn at the plate (2-2)

BK done talking to Rob

2 outs

Shox lead 5-3

[haysdb]

ESPN announcer: "I guarantee, this could be his last hitter." Okey dokey.

Rob has not been sharp this inning. He's not locating his pitches. Getting behind 3-0 with the bases loaded, he got it back to 3-2, but then gave up the 2-run single. Edit: I guess the bases weren't loaded and only one run scored. Now 5-3.

Rob's pitch count is ~100

[Rosewood]

Easy ground ball ! Ends the inning.

Pshew

top of the 6th here we come

[SB Shock]

Nobody hurt. FSU offense going to score some runs. Must not let them have the big inning.

Lets Go Shox! Answer and get some more Runs and everything will fine.
