Petagine went home to Venezuela for what they termed a serious family situation. He won't be back this year. Was in the paper today.

Back to back singles to start the inning. Guy can't get the bunt down. Fouls off the first attempt, then ends up trying anyhow with 2 strikes. Next batter, double play - inning over.

If Cleveland is better, why play AAA lineups? Why not try to knock them out and improve your own chances?
Guillen is the biggest fraud going as is his .500 team since June. I can't wait until they are knocked out (unless they're playing the MFYs that is).

Small ball backfired on the Sox twice yesterday but benefitted them once. It's a percentage play, and the case against it is often overstated.
2 of the top 3 AL teams in Stolen Bases are in the playoffs, and 3 of the top 6 in the majors. If Boston or NY miss the playoffs, only 1 of the top 5 in OBP in the majors will make it. Plus, a team with almost the same stolen base success/failure profile as this year's ChiSox won the World Series two years ago in the 2003 Marlins.
Sox steal another base. When it really counts, they're going to try some small ball tactics. New York has let up the 2nd most steals in the majors this years, so it makes sense to try.

Um...so you are saying the Sox or Yankees will miss the playoffs because of their offense? :wacko:

I think it has its place. But they're going against a Cleveland team that can't hit recently. Not that Ozuna is a particularly good hitter, but essentially giving up the at bat when you had a chance at a big inning might not be the best timing.
Wakefield. :angry:
