Hitting .091…

I love it.

Imma smoke a cigar!

Man, he got a fat pitch there 0-2

Smoke, smoke…what’s in the plan?

Thinking that, HH. The pitcher never considered he might hit the ball.

As bad as he has been, Straw won that game.

So if they’d gone to the 11th, would Pujols as the last batter in the 10th have started off on 2d?

He got screwed on strike calls all night, including that AB.

But he moved the runner and beat the rap at first. Huge.

It was rojas iirc.

Threw him two good change ups…guess he though could throw the fastball right by him

The bust his ass down the line infield hit to the third baseman scored a run.

His hustle and speed. Yep.

I like that Garcia went up there hacking. He got three pitch’s down the middle and swung at all 3. He had the right mindset to win the game there. Nice job.

Great team win. Hope Straw learns to use his speed more at the plate, and I couldn’t believe Garcia got that pitch on 0-2. Glad he took advantage of it.

Pujols wasn’t the last batter of the 10th

Pujols singled and was on first.

Got that bad boy done in under four hours too.

Maybe I’ll crack open another bottle and enjoy a walk-off victory cigar too.

so would the last batter in the 10th who was not Pujols have started on 2nd?

Yes

That’s fucked.
