Manufactured a run is good

 

Hope Reyes is OK

 

Hutch is going to have to be at his best if we want to salvage a game this series.

Great base running from Reyes made up for the most disgusting AB i've ever seen this year from Melky.

 

Melky is a very good hitter, but he is not patient and swings at garbage, seems worse with runners on. So you take the good with the bad as he gets a lot of hits.

I remember a few yrs ago Weaver was singing along with the Texas crowd to "Hit the road Jack!" all the way back to the dugout after getting lit up for 7 runs. Classic moment!

Reyes hurt?

 

On somewhat of a hit and run he stopped at third, saw that he might have time to make it home after the 2B threw the ball to Pujols, hustled down the line, and slid into home (with the catcher far enough to not touch him), originally looked like he had some discomfort around his hips, went to talk to the trainers, but seems fine now.

Of course.. I think he's at his best in non situational type situations. No thinking,just hit.

Can Navarro please call a breaking ball with 2 strikes?

 

?? HE did to ibanez 3 times and he walked him...............Hitters tend to look BB with 2 strikes, nothing wrong with staying agrgressive.

They built it because Exhibition Stadium was a disaster, especially with flooding at a Argos game causing people to demand a dome. Do your research.

 

Plus, it's cold in April and September/October.

Here's the reason:

The main impetus for building an enclosed sports venue came following the Grey Cup game in November 1982, held at the outdoor Exhibition Stadium. The game was played in a driving rainstorm that left most of the crowd drenched, leading the media to call it "the Rain Bowl". As many of the seats were completely exposed to the elements, thousands watched the game from the concession section. To make a bad experience even worse, the washrooms overflowed. In attendance that day was then-Ontario Premier Bill Davis, and the poor conditions were seen by the largest TV audience ever in Canada (over 7,862,000 viewers) to that point.[13] The following day, at a rally at Toronto City Hall, tens of thousands of people who were there to see the Toronto Argonauts began to chant, "We want a dome! We want a dome!"

 

That's why we have Skydome/Rogers Centre.
