Baseball 2008, Part The Third

Both errors were on throws but the batters were credited with infield hits. Thus, the errors allowed runners to advance but in neither case would the error have resulted in the third out.
Therefore, when Lily gives up the triple, all runs are earned because they would have scored regardless of the throwing errors.

 

Yeah, I was just about to retract my question. The Pittsburgh radio guys initially said the plays were scored as straight errors, not as hits and errors, which is why I was confused. Makes sense now.

 

Speaking of the Pirates, doesn't it just make a fan's heart beat a little faster when Nate McLouth is your No. 3 hitter?

 

That would be true, if McLouth weren't leading off.

 

Oh. I saw yesterday, he was No. 3 and Doumit was clean-up. It was an image that sticks with a fella.

 

Walking the pitcher to lead off the inning is always a good idea...

 

Hey, if you're the opposing pitcher, it's golden.

 

Motherfucker

 

And here's that .452-hitting NATE McLOUTH!

 

Jusssssst a little bit outside...

 

Carlos Gomez bunts for a single, steals second to open the Twins game.

5-5. BYH gently weeps.

 

OK, I'll say it.

Carlos Gomez is stealing a shitpot of bases.
