That third run was excellent baseball.

[h2oface]

The ball gets to first quicker when you don't purposely bounce it.

Jeffers executed the squeeze a couple times last year. Castro and Taylor get the ball down. I don't know how many others I would trust to lay it down.

I think we are, by default. Just because we're doing it more and getting it done more successfully.

That used to work against my American Legion team EVERY TIME.

Man I hated that

 

It was indefensible

But it's much easier to catch if you control the bounce. When you have that strong of an arm it's the way to go.

Freeman looks like he's ready to yard

It's much easier to catch if you don't bounce it.

[stringer bell]

Too bad. Keep it at 3-1. I don't know if Ober makes it past this inning.

[USAFChief]

Oh man. That should have been the 3rd out.

 

And might mean Ober done for the night. 

[stringer bell]

Gotta get this guy.

[cHawk]

I never thought Ober would out-pitch Clayton Kershaw head-to-head.

Thinking you can control the bounce on a grass and dirt baseball field? No words.

[stringer bell]

A lot of good fortune so far for Ober. If they have the arms, they gotta go to the BP IMHO.

[stringer bell]

Plouffe said the ball arrives at the same time. That kind of figures, because you don't have to put any air under it.

With all he's got going on I thought he pitched well. Not a lot of hard contact. I guess you could say he out pitched him

[mrtwinsfan]

Ober  is done , with Muncie up

[cHawk]

Given how teams have historically stolen bases at will against us, it's nice to see us doing it against the other team for a change.

[Aggies7]

Baldelli should get run after some of these bogus calls the last few days.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Think we can get that tun back?

[Elite Benchwarmer]

We need Larnach to go yard!

[Elite Benchwarmer]

Guess not

[mrtwinsfan]

12 outs to get ?   Hold on!!!!! Folks
