Well played Mauer...

Astute observation. After all, you do need to score more runs in order to improve your chances of winning the game.

But you have to be careful, because you only have 3 outs per inning. You must manage them well, because you cannot score if you are in the field.

A vaild point. If you're manipulative, you can get two outs one 1 play, a two-outer per say. But that requires intricate metriculation (/reese davis'ed) of the ball.

Really, Joe, you're betting that Joba is going to be the 8th inning guy? What was your first clue, the fact that he is pitching in the 8th inning?!!!?!

I cannot take much more of this.

Yes, but you forgot about the fabled three-outer. Not only does this require intricate and intense metriculation of the ball, but it also requires luck. Luck is good in a baseball game.

It's like watching a FOX BCS game for AARP members.

There will be no speak of such cheeky shenanigans on the diamond.

Is there some big obstruction in LF that is preventing balls from going for a HR? I wish these announcers would tell us about it.
