radio says Castillo might be peeking

at the signs from Suzuki, or Suzuki’s set up outside.

So Gaudin buzzed him.

If you’re peeking, duck.

I think more pitchers should do that more

dont you? No way in a million years would some of these hitters be hitting they way they have the last 10 yrs if guys Like Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson amongst others were still pitching.

Rafael Palmiero

I think, said he wouldn’t have hit what he did, if he didn’t have the ability to peek and not get caught.

That pitch looked pretty damn good to me.

how does he feel about an “electronic strike zone”??

Giants Announcers

I kinda feel sorry for them. What do they have to talk about( a couple of young pitchers)? Their team is going to suck for 3 years at the very least. Plus they are in a division with a ton of young talent on the other teams. Im glad Im and A’s fan.
