Around SBN: Defend That, Digger! The Overrated/underrated edition

Crow, who went back into the draft, and ended up with the Royals, was the only one of the three pitchers to appear in this afternoon's extra inning affair, but his day ended early after just 3.1 IP in which the soon-to-be 23-year-old right-hander allowed 6 hits, 4 ER and 1 walk while recording 2 K's and throwing 56 pitches, 42 for strikes. Back-to-back singles followed by back-to-back sacs (a sac bunt and a sac fly) resulted in the D-Dogs' first run off Crow in the second, and a misplayed fly ball in center that wasn't ruled an error let Nationals' SS prospect Danny Espinosa on in the third and resulted in Phoenix's second run of the game when a groundout and an RBI single brought Espinosa around. In the fourth, Crow issued a leadoff walk and then gave up a run scoring triple and a sac fly before being removed with the Rafters down 4-2..

I try to check out his line

whenever he starts. I took a look yesterday and I was concerned. I am glad to hear that he didn’t get smacked around like his line suggests.

i felt the same way

when i read the box score. definitely reassuring to know it wasn’t a beat down of crow. i mean 42/56 for strike? talk about pounding the zone.

lead off walks - how many times do they score? DRINK!

Not As Often

As I drink.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

Phil's rules:

Royals take the field. Drink.

A Royals player moves. Drink.

A Royal swings a bat. Drink.

A Royal pitches the baseball. Drink.

A Royal fields the ball. Drink.

A Royal takes a leisurely stroll around the bases on a game winning come from behind homer. Don’t Drink, enjoy! It’s only happened once since I was born (1979), and it was DDJ (last year I think).

42/14 Strike/Ball ratio

Throwing too many strikes, that’s his problem.
