    Lol yeah, that was a strike. But worked out for the Tribe. Got the next out and have Cueto leading off. Always prefer the pitcher to have to hit (or practice a sac bunt) than be able to bunt to advance runners.

    No...that's baseball.

    DH sucks. Not looking forward to the NL adopting that rule in the near future.

    I understand not liking the DH. But you will adjust, and have a lot more fun watching your team bat.

    So? You could have seen an Adam Dunn KO. Or you could have seen a lucky base hit by Gomez. Ha ha!

    Anyhow, we get the top of the order up next.

    Sorry to agree, Justin, but I also see all of baseball eventually going to it.

    Sad. IMO

    Yeah really. "Oh look, my pitcher is up with runners on 1st and 2nd and 2 outs.... Wait, why's he flailing at the first two pitches well out of the strike zone? Oh my god, he just bunted with 2 strikes and it went foul"

    Dunn could have also hit 455 foot homer.

    exactly.

    As for the DH, i am pretty much neutral...it doesn't bother me either way.

    No. It is much more fun for me when a pitcher is able to smack a base hit....like Cueto just did.
  • justincredible
    Cueto. Boom. Deal with it.

    lol.. He's 2/21
  • BRF
    I think it's funny that I'm one of the few AL guys that doesn't like the DH.

    It's probably because I am old and remember watching and listening to the game in its pure form.
  • justincredible
    Our pitcher is on 2nd base. Like a boss.

    Ok. so youve only had fun twice when Cueto is up to bat this year. Poor odds.

    Oh, and Gomez is all over the place tonight.

    This lady is annoying.

    Mike Leake has a .300 AVG.

    Mlbtv must be on a hell of a delay tonight. Just now saw the wild pitch

    Cueto also leads (or is close to the lead) in sacrifices.

    Yes, she's awful.
  • sportswizuhrd
    Cueto and Valdez are 3/3. Whodathunkit.
  • justincredible
    Wilson Valdez is 2/2. My world is crumbling around me.

    That does nothing for me. I am angered when teams sacrifice. Giving up an out, when the odds say its the wrong play. So stupid.

    And is also one of the best at laying down a SAC bunt.

    There's just so much more that goes into the strategy of the game when you have a pitcher batting. When you go by playground rules and have an "all-time hitter," it takes all that strategy out.
