Stupid decision by Blum.

 

Sac-bunt Blanco here?

 

Hank White is gonna knock it out of the park!

 

Had to get it off the ground first. :D

 

I'll take this result, though.

[Outshined_One]

Ah, nice. So, do bananas help you hit home runs?

 

Let's hope so.

Five minutes ago, anyone who predicted they'd be loaded up with none out for Big Z would have been banned.
