It was a good pitch to hit, and fundamentally the first pitch is often the best pitch when the bases are loaded. It was a good decision by Ramirez and he hit the ball really hard.
This is insane. Nomar is going to hit a double, Betemit is going to PH, Lou is going to go to Ohman for some unknown reason, and Betemit is going to single him in. Why are we going worst to best in the order of our relievers this inning?
He threw 12 pitches, and the bottom of the order is due in the 8th. Guzman and Ohman should be fine for it, Dempster could go for a 4 out save if we take the lead here too.
