June 20, 201511 yr Author Got to do what you got to do to get men on base lol the come back was brewing
June 20, 201511 yr Author No he didn't. Don't be like the Nats announcers. He moved his elbow down and made no attempt to get out of the way. In my opinion you try your hardest to get out of the way given whats at stake. Instead he tightened his elbow and just braced for it.

Instead he tightened his elbow and just braced for it. Given what's at stake? You don't just GIVE the other pitcher a perfect game, you make him earn it. It's inside and gonna hit you? Oh well, take your base. What's at stake for Tabata and his team is a loss, that's all the Pirates care about. He gets on base, they have a slight, slight chance at winning now. Better than before he reached base.

I understand - but he leaned into. It's what I saw when he dropped his elbow.
June 20, 201511 yr I understand - but he leaned into. It's what I saw when he dropped his elbow. But he didn't lean forward. He did nothing wrong. It was a breaking ball in, so he probably dropped the elbow thinking it was possibly a fastball in so he braced for that - in doing so, the elbow dropped a tad. Regardless, he got the no hitter.
June 20, 201511 yr Author Regardless, he got the no hitter. Yeah, congrats to him on that. Representing NL East.
June 20, 201511 yr First of all, no I'm not. Second, what does that even mean? First, you totally are. Second, it means you save your money by not buying things. I approve of your fiscalness.
June 20, 201511 yr Fiscal conservative yes. Socially no. Parts don't define whole. They can, if there are enough parts!
June 21, 201511 yr Definitely leaned into it. Don't think the guy owed Scherzer a "get out of the way," but certainly should've respected not lowering his elbow for that shit.
June 22, 201511 yr He moved his elbow down and made no attempt to get out of the way. In my opinion you try your hardest to get out of the way given whats at stake. Instead he tightened his elbow and just braced for it. I don't understand this. Did Jose Tabata get traded to the Nationals before that AB? No one wants to have a perfect game pitched against them
June 22, 201511 yr I'd do the same thing. You wouldn't have been up in that situation, they'd have pinch hit for you with Solano.
June 23, 201511 yr So would I. Aren't they like double that price? Seriously. to my best recollection, 9.50, 10.50 for imported, and bumped up to 12.50 for the two Yankee games. Horrendous
