vs Rays 5/12/12

Matt will never hit another homer from the right side, ever, ever.

Apparently I pulled a "Thorne" in re: identifying the pitch, but yeah. Brian was wild, then down-the-middle in the first but escaped unscathed. Second inning...not so much. Just a solo, though.

Don't feel bad. The pitch was that bad that it looked like a fastball.

It must be difficult to play 3B in this park.

It's the lights.

You know what makes it really hard to score in that situation? When you small ball your way into 2 outs, nobody on.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Sac bunt would have led to a man on 3rd with 1 out.

But I totally understand the reasoning for not sacrifice bunting, I just don't agree with it. I think getting runs early, even if it's just one, will help out a struggling pitcher.

However, I'll trust Buck, because he's right more often than wrong! I'm just some guy at a computer who likes to play Out Of The Park baseball.....

Heh heh heh.

[scOtt]

THANK YOU very much!!!!!

Error 5 followed by Error 1....I'll take it

[backwardsk]

Okay, second inning in a row with a guy on second with no outs. Got to make this one pay.

Oh, man, I definitely don't want to sacrifice bunt. I just want to stop stealing.

Definitely looked fast going out

Aren't we all! :thumbsup1:

Something's brewin'...

[Malike]

Make Earl Weaver proud!

[Don Quixote]

Please don't call a double steal. They'd get Jones and still have time to get Wieters.

[crissfan172]

For the record...I wouldn't mind a bunt here...if we weren't down a run already.

Just because Betemit is much better against righties and a DP candidate.

EDIT: I forgot we have a 6-man lineup today. Swing away.
