When I was a kid, Rod Carew just out of nowhere one season came out with a weird new batting stance where he held the bat kind of flat behind him, almost parallel to the ground.  And of course he was hitting about .350 that way.  So, I decided to try that in a Little League game, because my stance was modeled after the old Carew stance.  I hit two foul dribblers down the 1B line (late) and my coach called time out and walked down the line and put his arm around me:

Coach: "Why are you holding the bat like that?"

Me: "I'm trying to hit like Rod Carew."

Coach: "You are not Rod Carew, now swing the bat like you know how to."

 

I feel like Pierce or somebody needs to have that conversation with Kennedy.

 

So you did not have mad hits like Rod Carew?

[dcar00 14028]

fuck. needed those 2.

Powell should have been scoring, IMO.

throw strikes.

with 2 of our normal ones not even in Florida today, I would argue we dont have a reliever.

Why don't they let these guys come to the games...they're a part of the team, even if they won't be playing.

This one is one I never get tired of. Classic.

[MirrOlure 14617]

ESPN game cast must have thought it was a homer. They had 5-1 briefly

[Horny Bull 2759]

Morehouse on to pitch.

Did you convert to Judaism?

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

Gordon's pitch count was not that elevated. Pierce must be thinking about bringing him in for an inning or 2 later in this regional. 

Sure is risky though.

That would have made it 6-1

[NorthLoop 14080]

Morehouse? I guess we want to lose now. 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3319]

If Zane fucks this up, fire Pierce

Wallace said he thought he saw Pierce motion to bench that bullpen is coming in beginning of 8th

He was right, hope Pierce is.

Conan, I believe.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Please get batters out. Please. 

[HOOKEM4 5015]

I am gonna try it I think. It worked for 2 runs already.

Fuck you Morehouse....

[zlavydra 2116]

Haha, just stand there, Cajun.

[MirrOlure 14617]

That would have made it 6-1

Oh. So it didn’t clear the bases? Driving. Can’t watch

[The_Great_Hornsby 3319]

Good start. 3 pitch strikeout.

Had some stressful innings and it’s a different type of heat in Miami. But I’m sure what you said crossed his mind too.

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

I wish we would see more of this with Morehouse. I don't know why they throw so many secondary pitches. 

Keep throwing the fastball until they can hit it. Just keep throwing it hard over the plate.

I don't like pulling him at all but yeah, that has to play into it.  They probably hope to use him for an inning or two Monday or even Sunday.

[dcar00 14028]

at leas they are just telling him to throw FB down the middle.

Craig Way confirmed that Gordon may be available if a winner take-all game happens later in this regional...

[AUS-97HORN 11667]

Zane is so infuriating. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Solo shot, 4-2

[HenryJames 65884]

lulz

[WBT 20410]

And so it begins

[hobbes2702 12783]

[Hank_Hill 18480]

Shocking

This aged poorly

[orangeut 212]

better pull him...

[hobbes2702 12783]

Pull him

[BERT 4349]

two quick outs then lose focus. Great

[HOOKEM4 5015]

Dammit. Ok Morehouse, throw a changeup.

[Horn80 6075]

Get runs guys

[AUS-97HORN 11667]

lets get that insurance run back EK

[BERT 4349]

Hey, at least he didn't walk anybody

[hobbes2702 12783]

Let’s get some insurance please

[Horny Bull 2759]

4-2 Texas M8.

[zlavydra 2116]

Not a terrible inning. No walks. The guy who hit the bomb can rake. 

[WBT 20410]

Alright, nice.  Get some insurance.

I'll take this Morehouse any day over the one that walks 20 hitters an inning. When he goes to his secondary stuff it ends up being a walk fest. 

Edited June 2, 2023 by Rickylovesweed

[dcar00 14028]

nice.  get 2 more please.

[Hank_Hill 18480]

Alright Pierce, that experiment sucked. Got away with only 1. Dont fuck it up.

[ClubWhatever 12086]

He seems so fragile.

Agreed.  Roccaforte is a future major leaguer.

this.  if they hit him, they hit him.  you bring him in and tell him to throw it down the middle. no free runners.
