Oh, and how about someone go talk to person before he throws 3 in the dirt. fricking tell him to quit junking curves and throw a fball at one of the corners!

The 3 in the dirt was by design. It is much easier to strike a guy out by making him swing at something unhittable rather than hoping you can paint a corner with a fastball which a lot of times with an avg pitchers catch way to much of the plate.

I agreed with the first two curves in the dirt, but with the count now at 2-2 and a batter who obviously seeing the curve really well I didn't agree with throwing a third in the dirt.
