That's out of here with a little wind. 

Wind was gusting earlier.  Dang.  That's two well hit balls for Gurwitz so far. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

That's why you keep throwing strikes. We are damn good defensively. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Johnston has to find a secondary pitch. Can't just keep throwing fastballs. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Not much damage. Johnston needs to throw that change more.

Just started watching this w/2 outs in the bottom of the 3rd however the ump has a wide strike zone but he has been calling it both ways.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Rand looks good. Need a sac fly now.
