Yikes
Duran k swinging followed by (so far) 6 consecutive hits including a double and a triple.
Eight now. Duran has a chance to make the first 2 outs in an inning, a bad stat that's actually a good stat. Pitching change for some reason,
(not watching, just the gameday (box link doesn't work).

Interesting.
Duran walked but while he was at bat, there was a double steal attempt with a runner thrown out at home. Unless there was a ball that got away from the catcher that seems bush league. Fitz followed with a single before Myrtle escaped.

I don’t think it’s possible to be Bush league in the first inning
The score is 7-2 now. It’s very much a game

If that was intentional and I'm the reliever, Duran is getting a fastball someplace that hurts.

"Lets deliberately hurt a player because he did a play we didn't like" has no place in any sport. I didn't say I'd hurt him, I said I'd drill him someplace where it hurts, his torso. He didn't do anything, his team might have. I haven't watched the situation yet. As I said it could also have been a case where the ball bounced away from the catcher and they were caught trying to move up. That's different, that's not piling it on. Like it or not, that's baseball. |

It was the first inning of what was a 5 run game 20 minutes later, I just don’t understand how that would be considered piling it on at all

You've had 8 consecutive hits, you have runners on 1st and 3rd, one out and your best hitter in the box batting left against a right handed pitcher. If it was a double steal attempt, you have opened up first base for them to walk him, which they did. He didn't score. If I was the reliever in that situation I'd certainly view it as piling it on. |

Just watched - it was a straight steal.
Disagree on the bush league part, but whatever. We can agree to disagree. 6 runs is certainly still a ballgame.

Just watched - it was a straight steal. Melanie Newman also mentioned that Salem had tried it earlier on the homestand (or in the previous week--something like that). I think we've been lucky with first rate radio folks for the affiliates in general, but I'm really enjoying her calls of the Salem games. |

Then we'll certainly disagree. It's not a question of whether it's a ballgame or not.
Even if it worked, it wasn't a wise decision.
Back to other:
Duran went 0/3 with two K's but also had three walks.
Lots of hitting stars in scoring 15 runs, Fitz, Monge, Acosta.
Shawaryn with an effective but inefficient outing: 6.0 IP 4H 2R 2ER 5BB 1K 1HRA 94p/52s
Santana with a nice line: 5.0IP 1H 0R 1BB 5K 79p/47s

Always informative. |

Even if it worked, it wasn't a wise decision. Agree with that part 100%. I don't think it's bush league or anything unsporting, but it's pretty dumb to let a team out of an inning they can't get through on their own. |

Way the game used to be played is forgotten by most. There were multiple automatic "you're going to get hit" episodes 25-30y ago. Piling on runs, stealing with a 4-5 run lead period. Hitting a HR period. My favorite is the one virtually half the hitters do now.. Dive over the plate. |

Really strong outing from Yasel Santana yesterday:
5 innings and 5K's, just 1 hit and 1 BB.
