I might have missed people talking about this yesterday but here's the most over-zealous quote about speed I can imagine: quote:"I view him as a necessity," Yost said. "I view him as a guy like having Barry Bonds on the bench late that can come in and win a ballgame for you." He's talking about Terrance Gore.

IcePhoenix posted:Who was the guy on the Red Sox in 2004 that everyone knew was going to steal second and still went like 7/8 when used as a pinch runner? Oh yeah I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a roster spot or there's anyone in particular who would be better to carry, just...you know...Barry. I also realized the other night that Yost can pinch run for Butler whenever he wants to and just put Willingham in the next time the DH comes around in the order which is kind of nice. Obviously you'd rather not have two guys who are only going to be used as DH's (for this team) hanging around but it works out ok in that situation.

Matthews or Lefebvre? That's really kind of just Denny's style, which doesn't strike me as  personally but maybe that's because I've heard him my entire life. His world series call is certainly happy but he's not screaming into the mic or anything (although I guess an 11-0 game isn't exactly in doubt at that point).If it's Lefebvre I don't know.

I can't imagine how they're going to get Game 3 of the ALCS in tonight, it's been raining all day. It's supposed to switch over from steady rain to heavier rain at about the start of the game and last until midnight, then back to light rain until about 8AM. So if they do get rained out I guess they'll probably end up having to play Thursday afternoon and end up with two day games in the series?

FairGame posted:Per Matheny, Molina had a successful catch and throw session today, but has not swung a bat yet and will not be disabled. This makes some sort of sense but what the hell do you do if you replace him and the game ends up going on long enough that he comes to the plate? Just have him bunt no matter what the situation is or test out your emergency catcher or? e: Oops you guys are carrying three catchers I guess.

Just tired of hearing about the Shields trade or what? I mean the Royals aren't likely to end up like the Red Sox did when everyone was cheering for them.

FairGame posted:That and Jack Clark dropping a popup. Was just finding that. Man he misplays the hell out of that ball. Jesus this whole inning, Sundberg bunts with two strikes and does get the bunt down, but it isn't a sacrifice because they get Orta at third. Then Worrell crosses up his catcher and there's a passed ball at the worst time. John Wathan as one of the weirder pinch runners I can remember, although I guess he was fast for a catcher. e: Astroturf was the worst but watching that made me wonder just how many infield singles this Royals team could hit if they still had it. loving Aoki wouldn't even try to hit the ball out of the infield.

Huh, after watching that I wondered why Hal McRae was available to pinch hit, the game was at Kaufman/Royals stadium back then and as I remember it he was their DH pretty much all year. Apparently from 76-85 they just alternated years, you'd use a DH for all world series games in the even years and no DH in the odd ones. They switched to the current home game thing in 1986.
