Had Kepler been running, he would've ended up at 3rd, cause Kinsler would've been covering the bag instead of standing right where Sano hit it.

Or they would have had the shortstop cover second, since Kepler is left-handed.  I think it would have been a double play even if he'd been running.  Darn Sano, hitting the ball too hard.

What are you talking about? April 11, 1954 was the day that Chief retired at the ripe age of 50! That's the key to living a long life I hear..... 

If Chief was around to roam with the dinosaurs ... and he was ... he's a bit older than that.

I think Dozier just likes hitting home runs against Detroit. Maybe he'll hit another this game.

Were there bottomless mimosas at breakfast today, Boof?

You kids.  Bottomless mimosas are ok, I guess.  

 

I like the place with bottomless waitresses.

How would a left-handed runner impact which IF covers 2B? I'd think that the 2B would cover 2nd with a pull hitter in Sano at the plate to keep the SS on the left side of the infield.

I assume he meant Kinsler, not Kepler.

Hopefully Blue is consistent with his zone and Gibson gets those same pitches.  That said, Castro as a catcher is walking a very fine line with questioning the strike zone.

Are you saying questioning the strike zone is...the Danger Zone?!?

Whoever covers the base depends on the batter.  Sano is right handed, so Kinsler would've covered.

Fun fact: did you know the lyric is not "I went to the Danger Zone," but rather "Highway to the Danger Zone"?

Huh.

 

Next you'll tell me it's not "Pour some shook up ramen."

That gives the song (and the movie) much more depth and layers.

 

(I did not know that and its not like you did not hear that line 155 times during the song.  Were they any other lyrics?)

santana bunting here?

 

To answer my own quote yup, although it looked like for a base hit, but no doubt he was encouraged.

 

Actually I guess because it's DanSan, I am ok with it.  Anyone else and I would be annoyed as heck.
