1 out vs. none is a different situation, obviously, but Soto is a great DP target and Lee is really hot.

Normally if someone recommended that a team intentionally walk a batter with the bases loaded
I would think they’re crazy. However that’s probably your best bet with Pujols. What a beast, I would love that man if he didn’t play for the Cards.

This.
He’s not “Maddux II” or anything. The ceiling is probably having a slightly above-average, 10-year ML career. Any pitcher that can make the majors can have a dominant start, and can be on with his command for a couple months. Wells will have rough stretches, too, we just haven’t seen them yet.

A fan JUST missed touching it on the big bounce-
it could have been a double.

A double and an ejected fan, that is.
If the one run doesn’t end up making a difference, I don’t really care. I’d rather not see anyone get ejected over it.

They'd get ejected for that? Really?

A fan in Houston was ejected earlier this year.
Remember Dome’s fan interference double? The guy who grabbed the ball was ejected from Minute Maid Park.

Interfering with a live ball is usually grounds for ejection.

Huh.
I thought the basket was big enough that you’d have to have really long arms to actually interfere with a ball that wasn’t going to be out anyway.

I can reach over it from the front row
but just barely. I do have long arms though… 6’3"

A little bit of sarcasm there.
I’m trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. It’s a lot easier to play it off when we’re winning.
