Hmmm. no Span. Could he be packing his bags for a trip to DC or Cincy? Bohlinger says it just a day off.
Was that a double given up by Blackburn on an 0-2 pitch?
Have I mentioned my position on giving up solid contact on 0-2 pitches?
It was more of a single, but your primary point remains.Quote:

I'm guessing gamecast's pitch location depiction isn't entirely, uh, accurate.
Given that this is Blackburn pitching, I'm just glad it stayed in the ballpark.Quote:

Macaroni!
It was a ball that Revere dove for and had it hit the heel of his glove. If Span had been out there he doesn't even have a chance to make a play on the ball and it ends up a generic single.Quote:

Moooooooooooooooose.
You don't see that much - an outfielder trying to throw a runner out at first.
I remember, at the end of Harmon's career, that sometimes worked - he singled to right field but couldn't get down the baseline in time to beat the throw.
How dare you speak of Harmon that way. Blasphemy.Quote:
