But did anyone else see the entire stadium razzing the pitcher on the mound last night? What were your thoughts?


You completely miss the point of "Ball 5+"

It's only chanted after a 4-0 count.

Ball 5 = First pitch for next batter
Ball 6 = 1-0
Ball 7 = 2-0
Ball 8 = 3-0
Ball 9 = 2 walks on 8 straight pitches, etc.

The pitcher gets a standing ovation when he finally throws a strike.

I've heard it get as high as "Ball 15" before.

Ball 8 would be two walks not 9
