TransMonk Old-Timey Member Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Brian Bannister is still magnificent throwing a CG 3 hit game for the Royals. The one run that scored against them was unearned.The Phillies get screwed on a disputed homerun by the Cubs that appeared to be foul. They are currently in the 9th tied at 5.Washington beats Atlanta and Houston beats Florida.
nymr83 Old-Timey Member Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I was out all day maybe someone can explain this to me, why does a pitcher go 5 scoreless innings, throw only 68 pitches, allow only 3 baserunners, and get yanked from the game?the pitcher is greg maddux for SD against LA today.

Glavine left early with a tight hamstring.Francisco Lirinao returned to the Twins after a long absence for TJ surgery (so-so outing) as did BJ Ryan to the Jays (got the save).Johnny Cueto of the Reds got roughed up by the Pirates after 2 good outings to start his career.DBacks stay hotBoSox up 3-0 on the Skanks after 1 inning.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I don't want to say that this is a typical Yanx/Sawx game ... but it's two hours in and there's one out in the top of the 4th!!!7-3 Boston ... so far.
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 The 4th inning is finally over , I used to enjoy these games but for the most part they are a bore.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Par of the problem was Hughes walking the ballpark (again) and not getting out of the 3rd inning (again), but Matsuzaka wasn't much better (over 115 pitches thru 5 IPs) and even when he's pitching well he takes about a minute and a half between each pitch. He's a chore to watch.Closing in on 3 hours it's top 6.
