Hypothetical question.

 

1. Runner on first, one out, Florimon batting. It's a three-run game in the 7th inning. Would you:

 

a. Call for a sacrifice bunt

b. Give him a take sign until he either walks or strikes out

c. Let him swing away!

Guerrier fails again. This is how he managed to keep a decent ERA, despite pitching poorly, over the years. He comes out, gives up a couple of hits and runs, which count against the starting pitcher, not him! Then he gets yanked and unless you watch the games, you'd never know it. Guerrier has been doing this for years.

Yeah... he pulled up lame halfway between first and second. He looked fine going to first.

 

Maybe someone in the medical field can explain how one can get a bone bruise from running. I thought they were caused by contusions, like he had been hit by a pitch in the leg or something.

 

I got one on my foot running a marathon last fall. That puppy hurt...

His stats this year have opponents batting .265 with nobody on base, and .161 with men on. When the runners are in scoring position it's been .048. OBP and SLG run similarly. His career stats are pretty close to neutral in such comparison. Obviously these 2014 numbers will be up after this game. But let's be fair.

Polanco's first at bat: a 4-pitch walk.

 

Well, welcome to the bigs young man.

 

Mauer taught him everything.

I'd pinch hit with Polanco.

He'll always remember his first AB came against Guy Frieri

I do wonder if we will see bold roster moves come Monday (or sooner).

 

Florimon assigned to somewhere north of the Arctic Circle would be bold.

So, Does Jorge Polanco get his ML Debut today? Pinch hitting for P-Flo in the ninth, perhaps?

 

You are either psychic or a genius or both.
