October 20, 200619 yr Author Here's something I don't understand. When its an obvious sacrifice situation with the pitcher up to bat, why give him an easy pitch to bunt? Why not make him chase a bad pitch or two? Not sure, it seems from the letters to the eyes would be the best place. Maybe he's on a pitch count...
October 20, 200619 yr Also, anyone else notice how much 'Larussa' sounds like 'Larue sucks'? :laugh: :laugh:
October 20, 200619 yr I'm not disputing the fact that it hurt baseball, not sure where that came from. However, I will dispute the fact that anyone is a die-hard if they no longer watch baseball because of the strike 13 years ago. IMO, casual fan is more suited... Not saying it's right or wrong, just not a die-hard. Agreed. It turned me into a "casual fan".
October 20, 200619 yr I can't tell you how many times I've had to tell people that a pitch that hits the ground and the batter next is NOT a dead ball and the batter does get first. Hopefully they're watching. You sure about the dead ball part? From OBR: 5.09 The ball becomes dead and runners advance one base, or return to their bases, without liability to be put out, when -- (a) A pitched ball touches a batter, or his clothing, while in his legal batting position; runners, if forced, advance; My experience in reading the rulebook is that if there is a caveat/exception, its noted. Since its not noted, I , too, would say dead ball.
October 20, 200619 yr Something stuck in Rolen's throat??? Hardly he just got robbed of 2 run HR. He is probably a little distracted by that. COME ON METS!!!!!!!!!
