Dibble is basically laughing at Debbie.

Dunn hitting singles is like a Hummer oucjubg up groceries. It works, but it is not ideal.

I can't stand the spell checker on this ducking phone.

I'll take it!

Dunn got very lucky making a brain dead steal attempt. Lucky because the pitcher then balked.

How was it brain dead? Do you really think Duke was expecting it?

KyleScha · « **Reply #58 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:33:02 pm »

I dont think Dunn was lucky there, he did that intentionally. Seems like he knew what the situation was, his jump would have been so good that if Duke threw home i dont think they would have gotten him. If the 1B isn't covering first, its safe to run as soon as the pitcher flinches.

GburgNatsFan · « **Reply #59 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:34:21 pm »

If the pitcher had stepped off and thrown to 2nd, dunn would have been out, no?

KyleScha · « **Reply #60 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:36:18 pm »

Would that have been possible without balking? Obviously if the pitcher steps off you get back to first, but as soon as he lifts that front leg I dont see how he could spin around and throw to second.

GburgNatsFan · « **Reply #61 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:36:30 pm »

Okay. Maybe I missed that. I did not think the pitcher was going home yet. My bad. But I am still not sure he was.

PC · « **Reply #62 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:37:47 pm »

Getting out pitchers has been next to impossible for us.

KyleScha · « **Reply #63 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:38:30 pm »

I'm not entirely sure either. If Dunn did start running before first movement of the pitcher then I would agree with you he was lucky to an extent. Either way it lead to a run so I'm happy.

Game.

Buckle down, Livan.

When things turn bad on this team, they turn so quickly. Almost instantly.

GburgNatsFan · « **Reply #67 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:42:11 pm »

I think he balked because he did not throw the ball to a base... but I don't really understand the magic behind balks.

Okay, c'mon Livan, get it down...

PC · « **Reply #68 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:44:20 pm »

Innings like this is why this team struggles to win almost every night, no matter the opponent.

GburgNatsFan · « **Reply #69 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:49:27 pm »

Does 'ham have a good arm? He seems to be able to get the ball in pretty quickly... but it doesn't look like much.

PC · « **Reply #70 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:49:32 pm »

How could he possibly like the way he's throwing, Bob?

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #71 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:50:39 pm »

Would that group of kiddies that is chanting "Lets go Red Sox" kindly shut the freak up?

Thanks.

Please score.

Wait, we still have the lead? I could have sworn we just gave up 6 runs.
