Good point except how often are you going to ask him to do that?
He’s up there to drive in runs not move them over. Or bunt for a base hit.

You have a point there.
Honestly, I just found it amusing when he bunted for a base hit.

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.

pitchers should be in the dugout watching the DH hit, IMO
Your 2009 Oakland Athetics: This time, it's personal.
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.
My goodness
That was one solid trip through the lineup.

Hey, is Portugal actually in any danger of not qualifying for the WC?
They’re 3rd in their group, halfway through.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
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.
Have their best players been playing in the qualifiers so far, or are they trying to skate by with the 2nd-line guys?
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
I've not been following them to be honest, but you don't
use second string guys for World Cup qualifiers. I just think they’ve not been playing well – perhaps the new manager isn’t up to much?
Well, I assume you don't put your best guys in for 90 minutes vs. Malta
Sweden or Denmark, though…
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
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.

These National League strikes below the knees are outrageous
What a freaking joke, what a bunch of yahoos.
how is it any different than the AL?
The umpires call both leagues, not just one….
There's no crying in baseball!
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.

He does that little lean back thing. Jeter has that too, though not to the
same degree. It’s awkward looking but obviously works for him. I’ve always thought Pujols’ stance looked uncomfortable.

Because Giambi can't catch the ball, Hannahan gets the error?
He already nearly grounded into a DP, mixed with a later strikeout, and now this. You’ll need to do better, my man.
I am Ray Fosse's infatuations with Clay Wood and high-definition television.
He's washed up, I've said this before.
He’ll hit the occasional homer and walk at a decent rate, but the bat speed has gone.
