Being Gutsy in the Bronx – 5/20

Yay, real-life team!

oh yeah, that too.

Cakes! What are you swinging at???

[VThokies]

I run the local kickball league and I don't want you guys forcing my players to make stupid outs.

The kick and run, one of my favorites.

Now if only we could take advantage of our LEFT handed hitters... :scratchchinhmm:

[OrangeJerseys]

I say both team's combine for 15 or so runs tonight, hopefully we have more after 27 outs.

The good thing about doing it with Nick and Roberts is that with Roberts, you still have a decent chance that he steals outright even if NIck takes it. I don't think you are forcing nick to swing at anything near the strike zone. Nick has tremendous plate discipline in being able to discern balls and strikes. If he thinks it's a ball, he is not to swing regardless of how close it is. I guess it's more like a run and hit.

But I do understand your point.

Fair enough, though that AB went 100% against your point. Nick swung at ball 4 on the H&R and took strike 3 the next pitch. Obviously anything can happen as a one off though.

Heyya Tex, how's that feel? Ouch.

[OrangeJerseys]

Take that T-bag.

[blid]

Guthrie had all his command on that pitch!

[Lucky Jim]

Nick's lost again. Two words:

Ben Grieve.

[Why Not?]

Heyya Tex, how's that feel? Ouch.

That looked 100% intentional.

[UMDTerrapins]

Thanks Guthrie!!! That felt good.

[Austin]

Wonder if the Yankees will retaliate? Tex seemed to take that one personally.

[El Gordo]

Wow MarKK's one a way from the sombrero.

Wonder if the Yankees will retaliate? Tex seemed to take that one personally.
