The Giants have a threat in the bottom of the second. Buster Posey singles to start the inning, then with two out, Grego Blanco singles off the side of Doug Fister‘s head. The ball hit Doug’s temple, then went up in the air and landed in shallow center. Doug is staying in the game.
We have our strange hit of the night.
Update: Fister walks Brandon Crawford to load the bases. That brings up Madison Bumgarner.
Update: Madison pops out to short. For the first time, a strange hit by the Giants does not result in a rally. The Tigers and Giants are scoreless at the end of two innings.
Working tonight with the game cast on my computer. Seems like inordinate number of pitches inside the strike zone box are being called balls. I’d say close to 50% of the called balls show up as in the strike zone.
