Infante 2-Run Single Helps Take Series Vs. HOU; Finish Road Trip 8-1

[MiamiHomer]

I remember Tommy Hutton talking about Dobbs saying when he swings at a first pitch it's because that's what he was looking for.

[Beef]

I was gon say maybe Hanley and Reyes took an educated guess about what they will see based on what they've seen in previous at-bats and previous games and want to take advantage of jumping on a first pitch.

That's also a possibility. But if they are knowledged as such they should not be popping out to 2nd or grounding out to SS.

[TealMonster08]

Of course. But what's more valuable? A run scored for sure in the present, or a run that may or may not be scored later?

An out is never more valuable than a single. Never.

What about 3rd and 2nd, 1 out, bottom of the 9th, tie game?

Give me the game-winning sac fly over a bunt single that doesnt score the runner.

/BUSTING CHOPS.

I was bad at baseball though, so Im probably wrong...

[BigGameFish]

THIS IS WHY BASEBALL IS THE BEST SPORT...unlimited possibilities, and the perfect infusion of probability, skill, and mental chess matches.

Enjoy the game tonight guys, hopefully as much as I enjoyed this exchange.

EDIT: On this note, I am convinced baseball was created by a higher power. 90 feet between bases is the most perfect measurement in all of sports.

Aw, I missed the you-never-played-baseball thing.

That's also a possibility. But if they are knowledged as such they should not be popping out to 2nd or grounding out to SS.

Hitting a baseball is difficult. Can't it be acceptable to know they just missed it?

If it was easy to square up a baseball, everyone would hit a lot higher than .500.

You asshole.

[MiamiHomer]

“Very mature,” Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said sarcastically when asked about the incident after Wednesday's game. “He's lucky I wasn't Hanley. I would have chased his ass all the way to Puerto Rico.”

--------------------
Lopez is actually from Nicaragua ehe.

[HUGG]

And if the roles were reversed, Ozzie would have probably loved it from his pitcher.

Consistency is the hobgoblin of small weewees.

You should just say your thing instead of doing this.

I wanna tell you something

[Bobbob1313]

Oh.

I like beards. I just never liked yours.
