A left-hander pinch-hitting against another left-hander?

How delightfully absurd!

2001 or 2002 when Podsednik was debuting with us. Had like three hits in the game and Pineiro pitched a gem. That was a good game.

I used to read this guy from high school's blog.

He once wrote about how he met some clients at Safeco despite how none of them like baseball, they had great seats, they left in the seventh inning, etc.

If I recall correctly, this was the game when Lopez had a walk-off hit against Boston … 2007?

Anyway, it made me really loathe the guy for being everything I hate.

by katal on Aug 12, 2009 10:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

I once read some quote to the effect

That the knowledge of the game is inversely proportional to the cost of the seats, or something to that effect. It made me laugh, because I believe it to be true.

The best part of that double play is that wasn't even a wimpy GIDP.

Johnson actually got the ball in the air — it’s not his fault.

So Wak isn't a great manager. That proves it. He just isn't.

He’s good. But he will never be great unless he pulls his head out of his ass an pinch hits.

by SethGrandpa on Aug 12, 2009 10:15 PM PDT reply actions  

Wait, how does this prove that at all? Rob Johnson didn't GIDP, he did nothing wrong.

He hit a line drive on the screws and ran into shitty luck. Be rational.

Yes, that's correct

I jumped the gun when I said you’d need to find a 1-0 game. I suppose the final score could be anything really, it would just take a lot of scoring in the ultimate inning.

Assuming no scoring until the final half-inning, you’re right: the final score could be any [1,4]-0
