An argument with my dad, he was awarded 2nd because of interference between 1st and 2nd. Then he can advance to 3rd at his own discretion. Well, he tried to advance to third and was caught out, so shouldn’t he be out actually still?

Because he's our fifth starter
With a ton of potential. Regardless of whether he reaches that potential or not, he’s our fifth starter. And he’s an above average one.
That, and he gets a bit of a pass because of how he was treated earlier in his career.

Also, he’s done pretty damn well for a 27th round pick. I was looking at a list of all the players taken that round, and I don’t think any of others have even made the majors, let alone been somewhat useful.

You can’t relly look at just 27th rounders in that situation. You have to look at all people drafted there or after because truly, that’s pretty much thought to be the same talent level.

I remember watching a Marlins game in their first season – which was 1992, I think? Or 1991. Anyway, there was a rain delay, the first in team history, and the grounds crew clearly had never practiced putting the tarp over the field. They were all falling down all over the place, one side of the tarp started blowing away, wind got under it and sent the middle of the tarp billowing up, and so on. It took them a good 15-20 minutes to get it over the infielder properly, as I recall. Comedy.

sac fly question
how come a batter doesn’t take an 0 for 1 if he hits a sac fly that scores a runner, but he does if he hits a sac fly that moves a runner from 2nd to 3rd base or 1st to 2nd base?
I realize the difference is that in one instance, a run scores, but they each advance a runner 90 feet, so why would they otherwise be treated differently?
just wondering.

Nothing weird about it in that at bat.

It’s interesting how both “suck” and “blow” are both used as slang terms for fellatio and for something being bad. As far as I know, though, “suck” isn’t a slang term for cocaine.

Funny thing, though: the Giants have won 4 of Sanchez’s 10 starts, and 5 of Zito’s 11. Not a big difference by that measure.

Compare runs scored in those games, Zito has had tough luck, but Sanchez seems to always blow a lead in his starts
