Yep.
We ended up in a weird place; we had no one left to PR for Cruz. I think we were down to Sucre and Vogs. In a two-man relay they might get smoked by Frank Howard and Cecil Fielder. We needed a ball into the RF corner or one over the RF fence to score Nellie from 1B. Or we needed two hits. But even from 2B you need a ball in the corner or a ball over the fence to score Nellie. OK, a 4 MPH seeing eye dribbler single into RF might have done it. Maybe.
Venditte throws with both hands. Can he run with both legs?
I suppose Servais was playing to win on the road. Seager did have 64 XB hits before that AB and only 16 GIDP. Well, crud.
If you bunt them over does Kintzner intentionally BB Lind to set up a DP? Unlikely with Martin up next. Lind has all of two SF's all year. You go after him, high and hard.
I think Servais was choosing to go to war with Seager, rather than Lind.
Doc, am pretty sure that I said "Ground control to Major Tom" when Nellie hit that blast. As kids. you, Daddy and I watched Walter Cronkite announce Apollo launches that weren't that majestic. But what was it that J. W. Booth said (looking at his hands) as his last words: "Useless, useless!"
C'mon team...win 7 of 8.
