Why is Gardner running instead of their pitcher, who replaced Stanton in the line up?

There is a little known clause to the rule that if the pitcher was the guy who made the last out, you are allowed to use the previous guy in the order (before the P) as the ghost runner.

Torres is crusty dirty! He's going to beat us.

Great job Sulser!

Wynns on 2nd, Martin up.

If ever there was a situation that screamed bunt, this is it.

And if anyone on our team should know how to bunt, it should be Richie.   A speed guy who hits for a low average.

This year's Gleyber is a weak imitation of the 2018-2020 Gleyber....

IF you get thru the first half of the tenth... runner on 2nd and all, the advantage is YOURS!!!!!!!!!

And you can't run for him either, so Wynns will be our speedster on 2nd to start the bottom of the 10th.0

Amazing to me Elias has such transparent disrespect for the game that he'd put the team in that position.

OK, Jones on 2nd.   Pedro (or Valaika) will have to catch if we don't win it.

IIRC, Martin can bunt.

So…Why couldn’t they pinch hit for him?

Have you paid attention this season?
