[Mizzou]

Nice job on the hit and run by Pagan.

 

The hit and run is the stupidest play in all of baseball.

Why do you say that?

I hate the hit and run, too, but if the manager calls for it, it would be nice for the guy at the plate to swing at the ball.

Wilson grounded out to third, 5-3

FWIW, Tony LaRussa loves the hit and run. Much of his spring training drills focus on it.

[ChiCubsFan]

The hit and run is a beautiful play. As long as you have a good hitter at the plate that can handle the bat, it works most of the time.

Tony LaRussa often mistakes activity for achievement.

Pierre grounded out to first, unassisted

[Mizzou]

I wonder if Dempster is going to give up a grand slam or just a 3 run homer.

Barrett struck out swinging

False dilemma. He could do both, you know.
