My friend and I have a joke that Brenly has a big list of jokes to make during the season based on certain scenarios, and when he makes them he checks them off the list. Now, whenever I hear him make a lame joke (that thanks to Brenly still seems funny), I just say "Check".

 

Email the booth and ask if that's the case. :D

Good utilization of the "run and hit" (WTF Santo?). Come on Riot, do your thing.

 

Well technically that was a run and hit. A hit and run is what the players do every single at bat.

 

Earl Weaver made a distinction between a "hit and run" and a "run and hit."

 

A "hit and run" is what happens when the runner breaks for second and the hitter has to swing to protect the runner.

 

A "run and hit" is when the runner goes and the batter has the option to swing. In a run and hit, the runner expects to steal the base if the batter doesn't swing or doesn't make contact.

 

Weaver hated the hit and run but used the run and hit often.
