We should be ok as long as he doesn't hit a dribbler to the mound.

A dribbler to second works nicely.

Pudge whiffs on a 93 mph fastball. Coste up. Michaels on deck.

Coste pops up to Loney down the RF line, two down. Michaels up.

On this day in 1966, Turk Farrell throws a CG win and has 3 hits, including a 3-run HR in the first game played on Astroturf.

Michaels flies out to the track in center and we go to the bottom of the 8th, 3-3.

Hawk wanted to give up a homer to Kemp so Ausmus wouldn't be able to double him home.

DVauthrin · « **Reply #119 on:** July 19, 2009, 06:13:03 pm »

Where was the pitch that kemp just crushed? I know Ausmus has had a good day, but I'm surprised they didn't pitch around kemp and go after Officer Brad.

Yeah, and he'd gotten away with a couple of those earlier that Kemp had fouled off. You could kinda feel it coming.

I was unaware Matsui tweaked his hammy in friday's game, so he may not have been available. But that doesn't change the fact Berkman was ready if needed.

inexplicable considering the previous innings' decision to walk manny (who'd struck out twice already) with runners on 1st and 2nd.

I take part of the blame. For 7 innings, I was following the game via the GZ on my computer, and I decided to listen to the game on the radio while following the GZ. When Loney hit into the DP, I thought it was ok to keep listening, but Kemp then hit his bomb, and Bourn and Keppinger struck out. I turned off the radio before miggy's at bat, but the damage was done.

If it takes all of us monitoring whether we scratch our butts with our right hands or our left, then this team is in a lot of trouble indeed.

That was a spot that called for his PH services. With that said, if Kaz was deemed unavailable for today's game, they would have had to put Quintero in at catcher, move Pudge to 1b, Coste plays 3b, and Blum slides to 2b. It's still a move probably worth making even if it forces you into that defensive alignment. But it does make Coop's decision more defensible, I'll admit.

True. Baseball is a game chock full of superstitions but acting that way as a fan might be stretching it.
