July 30, 200322 yr I'm getting flashbacks of April. Just us looking bad at the plate and KC playing small ball.
July 30, 200322 yr One of these teams can play smallball better than the other....can you guess which one?
July 30, 200322 yr Author I'm getting flashbacks of April. Just us looking bad at the plate and KC playing small ball. Um, it's the 3rd inning. Calm down.
July 30, 200322 yr Bottom of 3rd: Tucker- single to LF Relaford- single to RF Mayne- out Runners advance to 2B and 3B Guiel- groundout to 2B Tucker scores, Relaford to 3B Randa- single... fielded by Alomar, Randa safe at 1st Relaford scores Beltran- groundout to Pitcher 2-0 bad guys going into top of 4th
July 30, 200322 yr Author inning over......2-0 KC, if we can't play smallball, time for some homers. Did we not have a successful sac bunt in the 1st inning? We just need to produce with RISP -- that's not exactly considered "small ball". "Small ball" is get a guy on 1st, steal 2nd, bunt him to 3rd, sac fly.

"Small ball" is get a guy on 1st, steal 2nd, bunt him to 3rd, sac fly. That bunt was ugly. Not saying it wasn't successful, I just doubt he meant to bunt like that.. I'll take it, but its really more luck than good bunting.
July 30, 200322 yr *sigh* what happen to Carlos trying to hit the ball the other way with a runner on first?

As would I, but when the game is on the line we can't rely on lucky bunting. We need guys who are sound bunters, so the Toronto incident doesn't happen all over again.
July 30, 200322 yr Everett shouldn't even try to hit from the right side...he is under everything..again, echoing my sentiments that Rowand should be in CF tonight.
July 30, 200322 yr This lineup sucks...Lee is hitting fifth and he hits .200 agst LH and Aaron is not playing... JM
