Pitching duel, indeed. Holliday has singled for the A's, and that's it so far. Top of the third; here we go!

His form wasn't actually that good
He leveled the bat properly at the very last instant. And he bunted it a bit hard but “Panda” made the conservative decision.

I don't mind either system.
The DH means you don’t just have 8 hitters in the lineup (and a guy that can bunt over anyone that gets on base), but the pitcher hitting leads to much more strategy – your bench guys don’t generally rot on the bench, they tend to get a pinch hit opportunity quite often.

It's in their own hands.
They’re the best team in the group, but they’ve drawn against some pretty shoddy teams. Looking at their fixtures they should come through – assuming they can beat Hungary (who they play twice – and which would cancel out the 4 point gap between the two sides) and Malta.

Nothing wrong with Denmark or Sweden.
They’ll always give you a game. Just look at the recent England game vs Andorra – the first team (those that were fit) were out there because a) wins are priceless and b) goal difference is very important.
Like I said it’s the qualifiers for a major tournament, you don’t mess around.

Yeah, that wasn't meant as sarcasm
Both Sweden and Denmark have qualified pretty regularly for the WC recently. They’ve been more successful than Hungary.
I wonder how good a team you could assemble if you combined all the tiny countries: Andorra, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Malta, Luxembourg, San Marino.

A long time ago the strike zones were different
Not just because each league had its own crew if umps, but because NL umps used the inside chest protector that everyone uses now, and AL umps used the outside “balloon” protector. It was harder to bend down low with the balloon protector, so AL umps called a higher strike zone.

I'd like to see a Cabrera v. Renteria fight
Who would win?
My money is on Renteria.
