Love when you prove the opposing manager right on the first pitch.


Does it make it much better if it's the 4th or 5th pitch?

He got a heater that got a ton of plate. He missed it.


Yes, because you can sit on the pitch in a favorable count.


0-1 isn't favorable.


Guess what you'll NEVER get if you swing first pitch...


You're not guaranteed the pitch you want a second time in an MLB AB. Take it when you get it.


Man, y'all are missing my point entirely. Go 'stros!

What is with the names on the back of the Mariners jerseys? They've all got weird spaces between letters in the middle.

I feel like there needs to be an investigation into some offshore bank accounts.

Nice dp

We're more likely to get a hit and hit with power when we swing at the first pitch. It's not uncommon for the best pitch of the AB to be the first one.


I'm gonna need to see some stats on that. We slug more on 0-0 counts than on favorable (1-0, 2-1, 3-1) counts? I mean, if so, I'll concede, but I'd think it highly unlikely.

That should have been strike 3. It's a 3-1 count.

You'd think the home plate umpire could make it less obvious.

JFC Abreu, make him throw you a strike at least once before you strike out.
this is as tone deaf as you can get with an AB
The stat cast I was watching showed strike 1 as a swinging strike…later corrected it to a called strike. You are right, that changes the whole complexion.

I understand your point. You are saying Tucker could sit on that pitch and anticipate it more if the count was 3-1 or 2-0, therefore being more ready to crush it.

That pitch he hit is not guarantee to come in the AB if you pass it up the first time, and it was well within his hitting zone.

Our point is if it's a fastball in your hitting zone, especially at tee height, hammer the ball no matter the count.

I would assume not to but you don't always get to those counts and he couldn't get to 1-0 since pitch one was in the zone.

It's swing at pitch 1 vs not swinging at pitch 1.

Need 4 more pen guys to do their job, just like Graveman just did

(And a few more bats would sure as hell ease the pressure)

Now that's funny. Dude running statcast probably saw the pitch and thought no way in hell it was a strike unless he swung.

With Neris warming hard I think you need to make the move.

Blue has been fairly consistent on not calling that low strike. Will be interesting to see the scorecard. I bet it will be closer than we expect. He gives the high strike, we just haven't thrown many pitches up there.

If the match up is favorable. We seem to never do partial innings unless we have to. We could get 12 more outs with Graveman, Neris, Abreu, & Pressly without issuing anyone for 2 full innings.
