Manny oles a ball into a run...their guy puts his face in front of the ball amd hustles to get it.  This team gets outhustled and outplayed every night.

Can someone describe the rundown?

Pickoff throw to first with Broxton running.

Mancini throws to Tejada, who runs Broxton back towards Mancini, who comes forward from 1B.  

Tejada throws to Mancini as Broxton approaches Mancini, and Broxton ducks around Mancini's tag (borderline call as to whether he was out of the baseline) and heads back to first, diving in just before Mancini's throw back to Aquino covering.

Hunter keeps bringing up that the run was unearned as if that makes it not count or something

Thank god for Jim Palmer.

What'd he say?

[tntoriole]

Palmer was really needling Manny's approach and not running out balls in the pregame and continues in the commentary. Jim is accurate but you know Manny has got to hear about it.

Critical of Manny's at bat.   He said that was a pitcher's pitch, and if it was what Manny was looking for, he shouldn't have had such a weak swing, and if it WASN'T what Manny was looking for, why in the world swing at it at all on 2-0?

[Yossarian]

meanwhile,... Aquino strikes out the side.

[Lucky_13]

Watch aquino throw a good game and promptly get optioned to AAA

[Il BuonO]

I like Aquino's arsenal.

[mrbig1]

Damn, Struck out the side.

mlb.com gameday showed the pitch quite a ways outside of the strike zone.

Pretty sure the rotation has openings, but you're in the ballpark.
