it is Astros policy to always throw a ball on an 0-2 count

I'm grippin my pen and scorebook tight.Mike Morse is in to pinch hit.He swings through a FB, then takes one for a strike.It's 0-2 and for some reason, it is Astros policy to always throw a ball on an 0-2 count, (seriously HOW many guys will swing on an 0-2 pitch out of the strike zone?)?so Morse waits patiently.Next pitch, Lindstrom throws a Swiss replica Rolex 116233-CORJ Men's watch slider that doesn't slide and Morse hits it back up the middle.Then Willie Harris is in to pinch hit.This is not Lindstrom's fault he throws a great FB at the knees and Harris gets under it and pops it up along the LF line a softly hit pop that would land mid-field, near where the stands just out.

It SHOULD be easily caught, the 3rd out, but Clank doesn't move fast (what a surprise) gets there too late, gets in Manzella's way, decides to play the ball on a hop and of course, Morse will be at 3rd, but like, so what not Clank's problem.But the ball bounces over his head and by the time he finishes chasing it around, Morse has tied the Swiss replica Rolex 116200-BKSO Men's watch game and Harris is on 3rd.I mean, there is like absolutely NO excuse for not catching that popup.NONE.I'm just tired of Clank not bothering to even try to get balls not hit directly to him.I mean, this would be the THIRD out of a 1 run win and he treats it like it is the end of the first game we're losing 14-4.

He can't be bothered to give a little extra effort?? I don't even know how to answer when the kidz ask me why he never even TRIES and don't nobody seem to care.Jeez.So Guzman, trying to atone for his previous screwups, singles home Harris and it's Nats 4 Stros 3.Matt Capps is coming in and he can't lose twice in a row to the team he has beaten so Swiss replica Rolex 116200-BLSO Men's watch many times before, can he?PH Sullivan grounds out (we can't be expecting him to like, you know, HIT the ball very often…) Bourn doubles to center.Kepp grounds out.So with 2 out and man on second, it's Berkman, who KILLZ Capps.Big meeting on the mound and they decide to pitch to Berkman, not Lee.
