Turds!

Rat farts!

Not even close. He's out.

Dang, that was a great throw

Agreed. Too bad. Who knew the tigers could play defense?

great play all the way around.  Nothing can be done, everyone did the right thing, they just made the play.

Slow delivery, fast runner on third, steal it........

Gotta slide wider there, Shane.

 

Come in Esco

Yup. No harm no foul really.

 

squeeze?

Squeeze-off.

 

 

Descartes was wrong,  I know I'm dreaming!

S'up, UR,... you're no Descartes.

 

You're just reminding us how great it is to regularly post on a board where a Descartes reference thing is ...awesome?

In Esco I trust.

My feelings on that play.

 

Squeeze-off.

had to squeeze there, suzuki not the guy to get you there

Who's up for the 10th?  Just in case, I mean.

 

 

 

So does Paul.

Rand or Ryan.  Still need to know, fortification purposes and all.

Hold on, let me check with my Mom.

 

She's upstairs.

The man with the beard.

Sure, i'll watch a 10th inning.

 

Why not?

The man with the beard.

The man with the beard owes us a run, IMHO.

A squeeze was logical. If it fails, you've basically grounded out and live to hit again. (The Twins rarely squeezed though, do they?)

At least we can't blow any more saves in this game...

McCartney. No Simon!

Molitor bunts in nonsensical innings, and won't squeeze with a bad hitter?  With one out, and little to lose?  Bad baseball.

No! Don't come up!

OK, here come the Red-bearded Wallendas...

 

How often are squeeze plays successful?  If that ball is hit a little softer or throw isn't on the money, Shane is probably safe.

Or it turns into a double play...

 

I know it's the right play to bunt the runner to third base with no one out however in this era of weak contact and strikeouts I don't even like that play. It's hard to score a runner from third without a hit anymore.

Nothing to lose?  

 

Squeeze plays are not automatic.  You had the winning run on third with one out.  There's a reason squeeze plays are rare.

Dribblers up the middle like that are just further proof you need guys that can strike people out in your pen.
