Question for Black, Balsley.

Here is what the UT said about the homer Trever gave up to Molina last
night:

>Hoffman threw a low 1-2 change-up to Molina, described by Black as a good
low-ball hitter, and the right-hander >clubbed it 372 feet, into the
left-field seats. On April 8 in San Francisco, Molina swatted a knee-high
slider from >Cla Meredith, also with the count 1-2, for a home run that
beat the Padres.

Question: Are we going over the hitters and what they like, with the
pitchers? BEFORE WE PITCH TO THEM???Molina is good lowball hitter,
according to Bud Black? Then why did we throw him one? On two seperate
occasions???

>"I think I threw the pitches I wanted to," Hoffman said. "Sometimes you
don't like to tip your cap, but he went >down and got a good pitch. It was
a pretty good pitch. Bengie's a pretty good clutch hitter.

Yeah he's a good hitter, especially when he gets pitches he likes,
TWICE. Don't throw him a low changeup next time!!!!

>"I'm not going to second-guess the pitch at this point in time. I'm
pretty comfortable with what I threw. Just >obviously wasn't good enough."

You're comfortable with what you threw? You should have a sore neck
from from watching that pitch sail over your head. It obviously wasnt
good enough??? That ball is probaby on ebay by now. Learn what those
late inning hiiters like, AND THROW SOMETHING ELSE!!!
