odds of a Martin GIDP here?
... Bautista...(sigh)
Well so much for "manufacturing" runs.
They did. His name is Francisco Liriano.
Before that trade, they had Hutch in the minors.
They gave him extra rest and a DL stint to start the season. He also received extra rest around the AS break too.
What in God's name was Bautista just doing...
It was a hit and run called by the manager. He wasn't running on his own.
The announcers spent the entire Martin at bat (once is was 3-2) saying Gibbons should gamble and start Bautista because Martin is a good contact hitter.
Wow, that was some baaaad baserunning by Bautista but who thought sending him was a good idea?
I missed the pitch that Martin swung through so will have to watch the highlights later, but I have a bad feeling that pitch was intentionally a bad pitch because Jose completely telegraphed a hit-and-runBoy, was that ever horrible.
