Bourn walked, then stole 2nd. Matsui K'd. Berkman grounded out to Huff at 1B, Bourn to 3B. Longhaired boy WP and Bourn came in. I think the pitch should have been blocked by the C and been scored a PB.

BudGirl · « **Reply #12 on:** May 15, 2010, 03:26:37 pm »

bourn did it all

walk, stolen base, advanced on lance's out, scored on a wild pitch.

It wasn't easy, but if he had taken a better route so that he was at the fence waiting for it I think he could have had it. But it wasn't an easy play.

Bourn – infield single up the middle – Uribe gets to it pretty quickly behind second in the dirt, but Bourn is just too fast
Bourn runs on a 3-0 pitch (called strike) and takes second
Matsui – GO 5-3, Bourn has to hold at second
Berkman – flies to short LF, Bourn still at second
Michaels – walks (nice at bat, a couple fouls and works Lincecum to a full count before walking)
Pence - flies out to CF

wasted opportunity.

Blum pinch hits for Manzella – flies out to Uribe (caught just behind 2nd)
Sullivan pinch hits for Sampson – beats out infield single (sharply hit ball bobbled at third by Rohlinger)
Bourn – walks on 5 pitches
Matsui – strike one (low outside edge of the trapezoid), strike two swinging, ball outside (beyond the trapezoid), ball high, foul, foul, foul, foul tip in and out of Molina’s glove, ball inside and high, foul, foul, foul, foul, (maybe another one in here), flies out to LF

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #83 on:** May 16, 2010, 12:46:12 pm »

I was on the first base line in the lower section (103) for the game. Mills missed one obvious bunting situation. I would have had Keppinger hit for Matsui in the ninth, although he was playing the R/L percentages, so I can't fault him there, especially with a 15 pitch AB. I don't recall ever seeing a pitcher survive a 39 pitch inning unscathed.
