Round 1:

Wieters strikes out.

Score: Price 1, Wieters 0.

Wieters 3rd K in 4AB's to start the year. Might be time to call him a bust.

You can't be serious.

 

[Jaypers]

No Jbone, he's not.


From BA's live blog:


5;13 PM: And confrontation number one of the evening goes to Price, who strikes out Wieters on three straight fastballs. Wieters took a 92 mph fastball on the outer half for strike one, then swung and missed at a 93 mph for strike two. The pitch was on the outside corner, maybe even out of the strike zone. Price finishes him off with a 93 mph fastball that Wieters took for strike three. Price was mixing in his changeup against the righty-hitting Montanez, but he went right after Wieters with his best pitch.

 

[jbone17]

Wieters will get him in the next AB. I am listening to the game to.

 

[Jaypers]

Ugh. Reimold hits a 2R jack off Price.

Ugh. Reimold hits a 2R jack off Price.

Reimold crushed the ball during spring training.

 

[jbone17]

From what the announcer said, it was a bomb lol.

 

[AKA Coastal]

Reimold has been in the minors it seems like forever. His cards still sell pretty well. Someone is expecting something from him.

 

[moxacaine]

i was complaining last year about Reimold not being called up.

Round 2:

Great battle. After a 12 pitch AB, Wieters walks.

Score: Price 1, Wieters 1.

 

[jbone17]

Wow, that was an epic battle between Wieters and Price the second time around. Nice walk for Wieters!

 

[Jaypers]

That might be the last time Price and Wieters face off today. He's already thrown 65+ pitches through 3, so unlikely he'll see the 5th inning.

You can't be serious.

Does anyone really need to answer that question for you?

 

[Jaypers]

Well that's it for Price. Guess they have him on a 75 pitch limit this time. At least he can't get the loss.

3.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4K.

Hopefully the next time he and Wieters square off, it'll be in the Show.

Just got back from the game...Price made him look silly in AB #1 and Weiters showed great patience in AB #2, fouling off some good pitches. Reimold CRUSHED the Price fastball over the left-field "Blue Monster" and off the new building in the back (with a 5-10 mph wind blowing IN from left)!

Definitely had price on a 70-75 pitch count tonight, as he was pulled with 2-out and nobody on in the 4th. Can't wait for Tuesday's game with Hanson for Gwinnett slated to pitch!
