Yes, the lower fences down the foul lines, as compared to Wrigley, seem to allow a lot more balls to bounce over the wall.

[Blueheart05]

Thome with another hit. 4 for 5

 

Aardsma looks sharp

Pagan with a leadoff hustle double.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

I like Pagan.

[Blueheart05]

Aramis doubles off the wall. He JUST missed it.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Aramis, I love you. Serious man crush.

[Jon]

Yay Ramirez. Hopefully he leaves for a PR, though.

[Blueheart05]

Come on Matt! No bunting

[Jon]

If Dusty told him to do that... :x

[Blueheart05]

Yay Ramirez. Hopefully he leaves for a PR, though.

 

Done

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Come on Matt! No bunting

 

that's fricking ridiculous.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Yay Ramirez. Hopefully he leaves for a PR, though.

 

Just so we're clear, you mean a Puerto Rican, right?

[Jon]

Ah, smallball. Mind-numbing smallball...

[JonnyRed]

I'm all for SAC bunts with a runner on first and no one out, but you don't bunt with a runner in scoring position with Murton up. What, did Dusty read some book on SACing your way to victory in the offseason?

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Love that 4 pitch walk.

[cheapseats]

I'm all for SAC bunts with a runner on first and no one out,

 

Why?

 

If it's close and late and Mariano Rivera's on the mound and Neifi Perez is at the plate, maybe you bunt with no one out, but it's generally a bad idea.

[Blueheart05]

Grissom walks on 4 pitches. Come on, no DP here!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Neifi = clutch

[Jon]

Yay Ramirez. Hopefully he leaves for a PR, though.

 

Just so we're clear, you mean a Puerto Rican, right?

Louisiana isn't that far, I suppose.

 

Oh, and it wasn't just a sac bunt. It was a sac bunt with Grissom and Perez due up.

[Blueheart05]

Wow, Neifi comes through...

 

Cedeno (in for Grissom) to third.

 

4-4

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Neifi = clutch

 

 

I told you so! :lol:
