That was probably catchable but the wind knocked it down. Tough read.

Well... ****.

That was a catchable ball.

Bad News Bears defense is back ala 2012.

That is an extremely hard OF to patrol, but that's a play that just has to be made. That's a three run miscue.

Lackey's control definitely was not there that inning, but Pierzynski was also calling several pitches up.

With this HP umpire, that's probably too much to overcome already.

I thought Randal was suppose to be a good outfielder.

If Lackey doesn't get the ball down its only going to get worse.

Grichek should have had that ball and it would have been a 1 run game.

It's only the 1st inning and Hudson can give up a bunch of runs when he doesn't get that outside corner and you lay off that slider out of the zone.

I don't think OT could have done any better with that fly ball.

Two straight balls scorched. Just keep putting good swings on the ball. They are going to need some hit sequencing today, because I don't know if anyone other than Holliday on a dead pull can hit it out of this park

Well, at least we won't get no-hit. :)

Yeah a line drive down the left field line below the majority of the wind is about the only ball that's getting out today.

Not a great zone for us so far.

The wind actually kept it from bieng 5-0.

They are going to have to be patient if they want to get back in this. You are going to just have to take some strikes on the outside corners and lay off that pitch that dives way out of the zone.

Make him come back over the plate and then they will kill it just like Wong did. Patience will be key. Don't try to get em all back in one inning. One AB.

When Tim Hudson is battling and centering the ball, it might not be a long day for Lackey. Gat damn.

Normally, I'd agree, but this HP ump isn't going to let them be patient.

This zone is a ****ing joke. Just blew B2B calls, one to help us, one to hurt.

Pitchers umpire thats for sure.
