Gameday Thread: 4/22 - Angels vs Giants

[fan_since79]

Belt will have an all-time MLB record. This will be #21

[bloodbrother]

ITS OVER

[101halo]

Finally. 

[laagamer]

Hahahahahahahahahaha

The clapping and standing ovation was goddamn hilarious

 

So modern record? Wow. If somebody told me we'd see a record broken on the 2nd AB of this game I'd have scratched my head for sure.

Ya, how can Belt not square something up in 18 pitches? Embaressing for him. 

You're serious? Belt just made him pitch a whole inning. That's a fantastic at bat. 

[krAbs]

Standing ovation for the most pitches in an at bat in recorded baseball history!!

[fan_since79]

Fans saw something that's never been done before.

21 pitches, a new record.

 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Unbelievable

[jsnpritchett]

Gubi keeps talking about how Barria "threw a lot of strikes in that at bat."  Well, yeah...fouls are counted as strikes, soooooo...

I agree. I've long thought that a smart pitcher in the NL would work really hard at getting really good at fouling off pitches for just this reason. If you can just be a bitch to get out every time you are up, you'll be really useful in the lineup.

Worst AB I've ever seen

EDIT: And since it didn't seem to take last time:  (((((SARCASM))))))

Barria already setting MLB records in his 2nd start. Punch his ticket to the HOF

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

a swing and miss

[eligrba4ever]

Record broken for pitches in one AB. 21 pitches. Jaime needs to dispatch the next guy quickly.

Previous record held Bartolo Colon to Ricky Gutierrez.

[bloodbrother]

40+ pitch 1st inning? Ugh

Go figure it would be Bartolo. 

[GrittyVeterans]

Just get the out morons

[Ohtani&Trout]

 I don't see anything from Barria that makes me think he will be good. Extreme fly-ball pitcher, no out pitch, relies on defense. Meh.

[fan_since79]

So that attempted double play started by Simmons results in ZERO outs.

We're seeing weirdness everywhere.

[eligrba4ever]

6-4-3 and they got nobody out. Oakland level defense.

[bloodbrother]

Bullpen gonna be pitching 7 innings again

[GrittyVeterans]

He doesn't have high upside but he can definitely be a solid #4

[fan_since79]

Barria might be finished before there are two outs in the first, on pitch count alone.

 

[Waybackman]

 

NO BULLPEN, please.

[laagamer]

42 Pitches to get one out?
 

Well, FML.
