Gio Gonzalez can drive in these runs without resorting to bunt.

Squeeze != sacrifice

I don't hate squeeze bunts

Sigh. No runs here.

Safety squeeze != suicide squeeze, damn

C'mon Lombo!

Damn you Michael Bourn

PANatsFan · « **Reply #82:** June 03, 2012, 02:08:22 PM »

Morse needs to justify that applause yesterday.

Bourne is a bastard.

Scatbacks? Bob ... that is just ... gross

Poor execution Danny should have come home on the bunt

Bourn will look good in a Nats uniform next year.

That's not a Safety Squeeze, Bob.

That was just a sacrifice bunt.

A safety squeeze is when the man on third runs after the bunt is hit.

Perhaps . . .

. . . maybe.

Probably not, though Mantle's distance counts how far it rolled. The ball bounced inn the top of the back wall of Griffith Stadium (500 feet) and bounced down the street. It wedged under a car.

- Mantle also hit one to dead-center in old Yankee Stadium that hit a light pole or would have gone out. Probably longest ever in that stadium, which had a CF wall about 500 feet (or longer). Hit off of the Nats' Pedro Ramos.

Harper-Bourn-Werth, with Zimmerman-Desmond-Espinosa-Morse on the infield?

(And Lombo playing everywhere)

I think you have to trade Danny or stash him in the minors. Refusing to give up on prospects can hamstring a franchise. Doesn't Gordon Beckham suck at hitting?

Thank you, Gio. K Freeman.

Well yea, but I'm assuming Espinosa gets his act together the rest of the year. Replace him with Lombardozzi, whatever.

Beckham is hitting .238 right now which is better than Danny, and is actually hot in the last 7 games batting almost .450

That was a situation where having Morse in RF may have cost us a run

Nice dive from Desi to save a run.
