Seems to me he should get to go to third. For some reason. Make one up.

Well, that’s the thing. Either he’s out or he’s awarded 3rd, in my mind. I don’t understand how he gets awarded 2nd.

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.

My parents live in Florida. I’ve never been a big fan. There’s some interesting stuff, like the Everglades, but most of the state just feels very dully suburban and the weather in summer is unlivable unless you like oppressive heat, humidity, and regular torrential rain.

And the weird Uribe hate continues.
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.
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.

I look at it more like he needs to start showing me NOW why there shouldn’t just be an open competition between him and Bumgarner for the spot next year.

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
