[Fred Hornkohl]

Scott struck out swinging

[Mizzou]

There you go Rich

[Guest]

back-to-back walks are awesome.

 

not as awesome as back to back to back walks!

 

Thankfully he didn't go there.

 

Perfect situation for a DP now.

[Derwood]

sorry that i'm late to the party here, but THAT (kendall's at bat) was why sac bunts were so damn stupid last night

[ZFan38]

Seriously GameCast and Gameday both have Ramirez in RF and Floyd at 3rd, whats going on?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Alright, just get the pitcher out please!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Quintero grounded out to third, 5-3 , Loretta to third, Wigginton to second

[UMFan83]

OK Rich, you walk the pitcher and you should be SHOT.

Lou's just mixing it up for the night.

Sacrifice Bunts are sometimes good ideas. If Luke Scott had bunted, there would be two people in scoring position with one out. He did not and they had to give up two outs just to get the runners over.

wooo

But with Kendall's abilities, it was a bad idea.

 

Well done, Rich. Wish he hadn't upped the pitch count with the walks though.

[Vanilla Ice]

Hill with 49 pitches through two, with Howry, Marmol, and Dempster all most likely unavailable. :shock:

[snoodmonger]

Yeah, that was momentarily shocking.

You're right, and had we had runners on 1st and 2nd, no out, last night it probably would've been a good idea. But you don't sac bunt with a guy who has only 1 GIDP since he came here, is hitting .289, and doesn't strike out very often.

[Mizzou]

Nice job by Hill to get out of that mess.

[Butterscup1679666578]

mmm pop outs. i cant get enough.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones flied out to right field

I realize that, I did not say it was a good idea with Kendall, I was saying that sacrifice bunts are not all evil.

D Lee walked

Derwood didn't say they were all evil either, but okay.

Just aim one of them at the Crawford boxes.
