[JHGiunta]

Is it me, or does the camera angles suck in this game? And the feed has yet to show a pitch speed.

[JHGiunta]

Come on Stephan! Don't lose command now. Let's get this next guy out!

[knoxvillehog]

Playing with Fire with that walk.....

[TebowHater]

Ok, now why is it on there? Because Bigger's didn't have it on his.

It's batter preference. Pine tar to improve grip.

Biggers is old school and just plays the game - hasn't even used batting gloves for the majority of games this year.

[JHicks3636]

Whatley, 0-1 also, 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, foul, full, walk, and the bases are loaded with 2 outs

[TebowHater]

Stephan pitch count at 49 through 2.2 innings.

Get this guy with no blood, settle down, and chase their pitcher.

Announced attendance yet?

[12247]

Yep, its time to get started.  We need to help our pitcher who is throwing lots of pitches

[JHGiunta]

Those fastballs were perfectly placed. Dude never swung his bat or even thought about it. I definitely think they were on the black.

[JHicks3636]

Arledge in at .294, takes a strike, 0-2, 1-2, 2-2, strikes out looking
