Ok, so if the other guy's HR was ruled a HR because it would have hit the yellow, why not Betemit's?

WilliamTheIrish · 04-10-2011, 01:02 PM

I am f'ing loving this. Keep swinging the lumber Wilson.

**Saul Good** · 04-10-2011, 01:02 PM

That could have been an inside the park HR if he'd run hard the entire time (and had ANY speed).

Agreed he earned the start...Aviles is a utility guy at best.

Lazy baserunning there, should have been at least a triple

OVER they yellow, pete. The ball has to go OVER the wall.

**Saul Good** · 04-10-2011, 01:03 PM

That is a WILD stat.

K, but that is not what they were saying about the other guy. Just sayin'

Sure-Oz · 04-10-2011, 01:05 PM

Hope Escobar figures out how to hit....love his defense so far

Demonpenz · 04-10-2011, 01:05 PM

Cabrerra is drunk

Demonpenz · 04-10-2011, 01:05 PM

Every team we have played so far is playing with their heads up their asses

Al Bundy · 04-10-2011, 01:06 PM

Cabrera....

**Saul Good** · 04-10-2011, 01:06 PM

Was there a play at the plate? If not, it was a good play by Cabrera. Someone should have been covering 1B.

I want to see if he's really turned the corner before we bring up Moose... everyone has assumed it's a fluke but since about the all-star break last year Betemit has hit like an All-Star. We will be doing very well if Moose puts up a .950 OPS. We'll have to find somewhere to put Betemit.
