[GCTF]

Shallow third.

 

It was so shallow even Dick didn't think it had a chance to leave the yard.

[nicksaviking]

I got a call. Dick or Bert is going to have a call.

[Guest USAFChief]

This guy's tough on lefties. A real Bastardo.

[glunn]

If RB were here, he'd say POOP.

 

Are you trying to get him in trouble?

[Guest USAFChief]

Are you trying to get him in trouble?

I don't know him that well.

 

ba-dum-tsshh

[mikeee]

No sissy stuff.. Got to get it with a base hit I guess.

[mikeee]

Or start drinking heavily...

[glunn]

Looks like the Wall had a very good start. And he picked up 5 Ks.

[GCTF]

Cool.

[mikeee]

Or both!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IdahoPilgrim]

someone go wake up Perkins.

[mikeee]

Now a homer for Arcia.... lol

[Squirrel]

Or start drinking heavily...

 

<hic> What?

[CairoCrown]

Theon Carroll: Go-ahead Run-scoring Machine.

[Ultima Ratio]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Doumit wasn't the problem there.

 

2 outs, average runner on 2nd, ground single to right not hit particularly sharply. Even Roberto Clemente doesn't throw out many runners in that situation.

 

Without another look, I thought Doumit was still playing deep (conservative knowing his liabilities), thus the ground ball was even slower to get to, and then the slow movement into a throw and weak throw. Not saying Parm or someone else would have got him, but with Doumit playing there, there's no chance, none.

 

Edit: The replay shows Doumit still playing very deep. Granted it's Howard at the plate. I still don't like it.

[glunn]

Solid clutch single by Justin. Now it will be in Perkins hands.

[Guest USAFChief]

Pretty tough AB there by Morneausie. With the payoff at the end.

Not to harp on this, but it was Ryan Howard, I think any RFer would have been playing fairly deep in that particular AB.

Perk's got the ol' "at'em ball" going tonight, so far at least. Knock on wood.

[GCTF]

That's a win.

[snepp]

Twins win!

 

 

 

 

 

/fashionably late

[IdahoPilgrim]

That's how you do it, folks!

[glunn]

Yes!!!

[Ultima Ratio]

You bet!

[Squirrel]

<hic> What?

[CairoCrown]

and Dozier heaves a sigh of relief.

[Guest USAFChief]

Winnah!
