A scoreless Embring through the heart of the order -
I did not see that coming.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Prediction:
Pennington gets a hit and Baisley drives him in…Dale does something irrelevant

He's not a bad bunter, actually
Mendoza, however, is a bad pitcher and we gave him an out for nothing.

Honestly, if you don't think Barton can hit a ground ball
to the right side, he shouldn’t be in the game. That’s what he does when you DON’T need it. Pathetic decision.

its games like these
where i wish clutch hitting was a major attribute to a batter, rather than a small/insignificant one…then we could corner the market on undervalued clutch hitters, and we might win this game.
