i love that sandberg quote about bunts. yeah, his 31 career sac bunts is what got him in the hof.

 

and how many times did he hit to the right side of the infield to advance the runner?

 

Answer - a lot

 

Thats not cool or glamorous though.

 

 

Ryno never cared about his personal stats, being cool or on camera - he just wanted to win.

 

what people who make these kinds of statements fail to grasp is that personal stats help teams win.

[CubmanPi]

Way to settle down Rich. Now the heart of the order (Lee, DeRosa, Murton :pukel:) will hopefully continue to remind Moyer that he's old.

ARRRRRR............Pirates killing the Cards 8-1

I don't think that is true at all.

 

I think the point he is trying to make is that in certain cases players like that forgoe the personal stats by laying down a bunt or trying to go the other way with the ball depending on the situation.

[Sammy Sofa]

Lee with his 2nd double of the game, 30th of the year, no outs.

[Bruno7481]

ARRRRRR............Pirates killing the Cards 8-1

 

Looks like the Buccos will be raising the jolly roger after the game if you know what i mean.

[Omar]

Lee with a double! 1 on, no out.

[CubmanPi]

DLEE!! is now 2-2, 2 doubles 8-)

i hate how espn changes the game just to see a-rods ab

and ryno didn't do either of those things very often.

 

and you can save your energy by not typing about how ryno used to move the runner over because i know that's what you're going to say.

[Omar]

DeRosa Ks. 1 down.

[Sammy Sofa]

DeRosa k's swinging for the 1st out.

Let loose with it.

 

Of course they do. Like right noe, DeRosa is down in the count, if he grounds out to 2nd base that will help Murton get his "personal stats" and a greater chance of scoring Lee.

 

Well, he just struck out, lol.

[jjgman21]

that swing right there is the perfect metaphor for why the Cubs don't hit soft tossing lefties.

[CubmanPi]

If anyone is listening to Pat and Ron tonight, this broadcast is why I love listening to them. Ron may be feeling his years now, but this team will never get old to me.

Wht your failing to grasp is that advancing a runner by grounding out to the right side of the infield doesn't help one's personal stats but it does help the team.

No, it really wasn't Miss Cleo.

 

:D

 

Its not my argument, just thought I'd convey what I thought he was trying to say.

[C.C.]

Murton K's here...

[cjbucks]

Nice AB Murt!

[Omar]

Murton takes 10 pitches... out in CF.

[TruffleShuffle]
