Is the ump letting these fucks just step out in the middle of the windup? That should be an automatic strike iirc.

May 29, 20214 yr Witt is the kind of guy I would hate if he pitched for someone else. He's cocky as fuck.
May 29, 20214 yr Earlier in the season Witt would come out jacked up like a freshman who just tried coke for the first time. That got him into some trouble. He's toned it down just enough to keep the intensity but narrow the focus. Dude has a great future here.

Imagine a guy calling time and stepping out of the box except these guys aren't calling/getting time and they're doing it in the middle of the pitcher's wind-up in an attempt to coax a ball out of 'em by doing something bush league-ey.

They don't like it because unless you have time out granted by the ump, once the pitcher starts his windup, the ball is still live afaik. They can easily just call a strike automatically if the batter abandons the box. If they don't, I don't understand why not. Edited May 29, 20214 yr by wood

May 29, 20214 yr Who was it we played not too long ago that seemed to get every play on every ball that was rocked?

May 29, 20214 yr 9 minutes ago, NorthLoop said: Witt's gonna be a good Friday guy for us soon enough And DH him on days he’s not pitching
May 29, 20214 yr Just now, NorthLoop said: Witt or Nixon? Nixon went long last night. Stick with Witt I say.

May 29, 20214 yr Just now, NorthLoop said: Meh he looked like ass at the plate Not exactly a huge sample size.
May 29, 20214 yr Through three games, we are averaging fifteen strikeouts per contest. That seems like a lot considering we’ve faced the two worst pitching staffs In the league.
