Leonard Zelig Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 03:23 PM) Im still laughing at JJ hardy The ball was at the cutoff man pretty much as he rounded third, that was hilarious.. Well, you gotta do what your coach tells you in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) If it wasn't for a dumb error by the 3rd base coach we'd see men on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs. Not a good choice to keep Thornton in the pen for that at bat. Meh, ide be willing to guarantee if Jenks throws the hammer Thome K's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 The Twins 3B coach figured there was no way Pierre could throw the ball far enough to make a good relay play. Pierre's throw was actually pretty good. Teahen threw a strike to AJ. Hardy was a sitting duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other guys, mainly Bobby's chunky butt, need to get the job done. After seeing Thome hit for us for 4 years you'd think Ozzie would have realized there was no chance at all that he could hit Thornton. And we just saw what he did against Jenks.

Friend of Nordhagen Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) I couldn't see the third base coach in the shot, did Hardy get sent, or did he run a stop sign? Anyone know? Couldn't tell if he sent him, but I did see one interesting thing on the replay. Just after Hardy rounded third, and Teahen turned to look at home plate, the third base coach JUMPED INTO FAIR TERRITORY, right at third base. It honestly looked like he was trying to trick Teahen into thinking that he was the runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The at bat was over. Why make a pointless guarantee? That's like me guaranteeing Jenks would've given up a hit to the next batter if Hardy doesn't get thrown out at home.

Ya, but you have nothing to back that point. There's a difference between guaranteeing something because we've seen it many times and guaranteeing something because you have a hunch. We've seen Thome quite a bit, and I'm with Tru on this one. He's probably a goner if you throw him a breaking ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High fastball or breaking ball in the dirt and he's flailing. Fastballs middle-in and on the outer half, on the other hand, he normally hits hard. And he did.

I am guessing that wasn't the pitch that was called... I am sure if he called for the fastball, he wanted it up. The higher the better, but Bobby just missed his spot.
