MrRain422 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 With their loss last night to Cleveland, the KC Royals were eliminated in the AL Central. So they still have a shot at the wild card! Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Casey hit a liner to third baseman Joe Crede and then stopped running and pivoted toward home when it appeared the ball was caught before sprinting to avoid an embarrassing putout. Left fielder Pablo Ozuna charged and made a bouncing throw that just beat Casey. I wonder how many times that has happened. I remember hitters being thrown out by right fielders, but never LF.

MrRain422 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yeah, that's just embarrassing. That's why Little League coaches are always telling their players to run it out, no matter what play the fielder should be able to make. As a major leaguer, that's just inexcusable. Not that it really mattered in that game. What a mess. Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 You know, if it weren't for the fact that Boston is playing both teams ahead of them (I think), it would generally be easier for them to win the division than the wild card. It's hard to make up ground on two teams at once, especially when said teams have a lot of games with each other. Obviously if they go on some crazy streak and win 18/20 or something they should be in good shape, but yeah. Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) Joe Morgan just explained that bunting in Little League is harder than bunting in the Majors. His reasoning was that, since the mound is so much closer than in the bigs, the hitters don't have as much time to get squared up. I realize that Joe Morgan is not a smart man, but he has to recognize that the Little League pitchers don't throw as fast as the pros, right?
