Tio Yordan!

5-3

A drive into the gap is my favorite kind of hit.

There’s something super exciting about a runner on first and a gapper happening.

Off the bat I thought “that ought to score two”…but it kept going

No reason to leave a runner in scoring position

Bigger Papi?

Totally. I love hit and runs and squeezes too, of course, but a gapper with guys on base is about as good as it gets.

Diaz walks.

A 3-run double in the gap is like an inning-ending play at the plate on defense.

WTF Diaz?

Lucky.

Forgot the outs

Still applies

I always have been partial to the squeeze play, and I learned its effectiveness in PONY League. Several of my HS teams used it to good effect, but in one very important game, we popped up into a double play. Did not deter me, though.
