vs. RED SOX, 6/10

[ArtVanDelay]

Does Pedroia have any power anymore? It looked like he ripped that ball and it ended up being a dying quail.

I sort of understand, but that's an apples and oranges comp, IMO. Getting a single and getting thrown out stealing a pitch or two later is different than trying to take an extra base on one play.

I get what you're saying

It's from the baseball rule book, the chapter about scoring the game. 10.05:

A base hit is a statistic credited to a batter when such batter reaches base safely, as set forth in this Rule 10.05.

(a) The official scorer shall credit a batter with a base hit when:

(4) the batter reaches first base safely on a fair ball that has not been touched by a fielder and that is in fair territory when the ball reaches the outfield, unless in the scorer's judgment the ball could have been handled with ordinary effort...

Here, the batter has a hit, but got thrown out at second, so it can't be a double. Thus, it's a single.

He's actually slugging .455, though. 10 points above his career average.

[O's84]

Come on Chen, step up.

[ArtVanDelay]

Ugh Chen.

[Going Underground]

Bordick said Chen looked good tonight, before this inning started WTF

[weams]

Is that Stu Sutcliffe on your icon?

Yes. It is. Astrid took it. justD bought me a great book of her work.

[scOtt]

Didn't get good wood on it.

[Morgan423]

Thanks guys, these are awesome :laughlol:

[tntoriole]

Chen just can't stand success. Two outs and then total screw up.

[BMann]

Ugh Chen.

I wonder where the O's rank in Shutdown Innings After Taking The Lead. I'm sure it's my imagination, but is sure seems like we tend to give some right back fairly regularly.

[Going Underground]

Its real early but Im still unimpressed with Snider and his inability to put the ball anywhere.

He put the ball to second base.

[Chavez Ravine]

Well, that was almost a shutdown inning.......I am still on my 2nd inning buzz.
