In those situations, we should put Bradley behind Rob Johnson to catch passed balls.

So in baseball, when you substitute running for another player

you are then permitted to assume that player’s place in the defensive field in the following innings as well as their place in the batting lineup from that point forth.

What I am hoping is that we don’t score now, and that Kotchman’s spot in the “batting order” will come up again, permitting Langerhans to bat, and then he can hit a “dinger”

On the center field view of the play at second, looks like the ball hit dirt first before going into Hardy’s glove… I don’t think that call was blown after all.

However, the umpire is standing on the pitcher’s mound side of second base… how the fuck would he see that?
