He broke, they pitched out, he ran back to first and a great hook slide to the outfield side of the bag avoided the tag, but he was called out anyway.

Randy Watson · « **Reply #12 on:** June 29, 2007, 08:58:03 pm »

Can Lee play first base? Berkman isn't Roberto Clemente out there but he has to be better in left than Lee. I love Lee's stick and his approach as a classic run producer, but Taveras' pop single that cost Sampson 2 runs a couple innings back looked like it should have been caught. And Lee's lack of hustle would not be as noticeable at first.

It fell 20 feet in front of Lee, who was coming in pretty hard.

I think it was just a bloop. Berkman wouldn't catch that ball either.

Agreed. It was in no man's land. Although there are plenty of occasions to call Lee out for dogging it, I don't think that was one of them

LonghornCDR · « **Reply #19 on:** June 29, 2007, 09:42:01 pm »

The pitch that hit the ump was dang close to the same location as the one that the ump called a stike against Lee.

ybbodeus · « **Reply #20 on:** June 29, 2007, 09:42:20 pm »

He weren't smiling when he made it, so.....guess so. The gods paid him back with the pass through pitch that struck his forearm.

LonghornCDR · « **Reply #21 on:** June 29, 2007, 09:46:49 pm »

Good to see Bekman consistently swinging well. He smacked the ball hard in his last three ABs.

Looked like ball four that Lamb swung at, didn't it? Tough one to lay off, unless you're Iceberg.

They're all tough to lay off when the zone is the way it is tonight. Strike two to OP was a good 6 inches off the plate.

Loretta didn't help him out, but he was WAY late getting to the bag. I think he gave up thinking it was going to be a hit. It cost a run.

I was coming home from dinner and listening to the game on XM at that point. Milo had Drayton in the booth, and Drayton's comment on that play was something like "McLemore didn't hustle over to the bag on that play." Given the way this season is going, I don't think I'd want to hear that critique from the man who signs my checks.

Frobie · « **Reply #36 on:** June 29, 2007, 10:17:13 pm »

MLB doesn't make it obvious. If you go to the recaps and click on the highlights, when the clip starts to play there is a URL at the top. It's all cut and paste from there. It's weird that once you direct link it, the URL is no longer at the top. It's only there if you click the link from an MLB page.

Pretty sure mine were in no danger of escaping my Biggio t-shirt and jersey. But you should've seen this trophy bimbo sitting in the diamond boxes for #3000 last night. When it finally occurred to me to take a picture for y'all, I couldn't get a good shot. Let's just say she was leaving very little to the imagination--very low cut top, extremely short shorts and stiletto heels. If she had gotten excited enough about the game during the few minutes she was actually in her seat and not in whatever exclusive party room they've got downstairs for the rich folks, I'm sure she would've been out of that top in a jiffy. I can't believe y'all have got me noticing this crap now. HH, check the TiVo, about 7-8 rows up, near the Astros on deck circle.
