Never throw the ball over the plate on an 0-2 count. Make him chase something out of the strike zone and set him up for later. You’ve got 3 balls to work with. Latroy’s mental error makes 5 for the team.

I said, “Please, Dex, don’t bomb one.” And of course he did, right off. Argh. Get the hook on Hawk, seriously. Sense of urgency, please, Walt. None of that “it’s early” crap.
Pitcher, or catcher? McKenry called a slider low and inside, and had to swat the ump’s shin guard to go set up there. Hawk didn’t shake it, and really didn’t execute the slider. I’d say shared blame on this one. McKenry should have been set up outside.
