Ryan Theriot was knocked down by a high and inside pitch in last night’s Cubs/Pirates game. It was the typical up and in pitch. It wasn’t really that close to hitting Theriot, but when you see a pitch coming anywhere near your head you tend to get out of the way as...

Finally! Somebody in the organization says it. Ryan Theriot needlessly diving around the field isn’t hustling. Alan Trammel called it false hustle. To Theriot’s credit, he’s stayed on his feet much better this year. As a result, and this is no surprise, he...

Ryan Theriot has been just obliterating the ball since May 1. He has 3 home runs in the last 4 games, tying his career-high for home runs in a season in a 4 day stretch. I’m not sure if this will keep up, it’s not like The Riot was one of those guys that seemed [...]
