To get an early lead?
I must be completely confused about the concept of baseball, because it seems like a pretty good idea to me. You have a guy with the one of 5 lowest ERA’s in the AL on the mound, this isn’t Nick Masset out there on the mound, and we’re facing the Dodgers, not exactly an offensive power house. You get runs where you can get them.

by Grinder in Training on Jun 26, 2008 2:43 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

you're right.

in addition, it wasn’t like he sacrificed an out anyway (not sure why they called it a sac when it looked like he was bunting for a base hit). it was a good bunt that took a perfect play to end in an out.

he’s almost 2 years younger than danks was at this time last year.

do any of you expect alexei to regress during the course of the season?

his BABIP is at .311

"I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game though, right? "

by onlysoxfaninboston on Jun 26, 2008 3:20 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

unclear

based on his line drive rate, his present BABIP is higher than expected. but i’m not sure we have enough information about alexei as of yet to determine what his “true” xBABIP would be. i certainly would not rule out him being a guy who could expect to have a babip above league average like that, based on his style and skills.

i'm retired. don't reply to me. and get off my lawn.

Craptastic, but what do you expect?

On the surface, runners at 1st and 3rd, no outs sounds like it should score at least a run, but having the pitcher at bat in that situation, what do you really expect?

What I may have had him do would be to hack away there, hoping for a ball in the air, a run scoring dp, or a strike out, but that could easily result into the same situation as well.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

one doesn't need to register to be 'here' enough to get a feel for people

I’ve been reading since mid 05, never thought I’d comment. Heck, only reason I registered last? year was someone posted a screenshot of the blog and I saw that it kept track read/unread comments and posts.

I thought I had a good handle on everyone’s personality pretty quickly. After the downward spiral of august there wasn’t any doubt.
