Aided by the hit and run call, Kennedy might have had it if he didn’t have to cover second

Also on that team

the leader in SB, SF, HR, 2B, and H’s was….?

is Hank Aaron too obvious an answer?

Nope!

Terry Francona’s father was also on that team. What a collection.

by theBrouhaha on May 9, 2009 4:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I couldn't think of anyone else who was likely on that team

but I also wasn’t sure if you would ask a question with a straightforward answer like that

by SuckaMD on May 9, 2009 4:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Want to guess one more?

One of the pitchers from that team (1967 Braves) appeared with the 1987 Blue Jays. Who was it?

Re-watching it on the DVR

Ball looks about at the white lines marking the lefty batters box. Combine that with the camera offset and it coulda been.

was a good throw....no chance....they let the throw thru and it was on the money...he'd have been out by 5 yards

by Tom Dakers on May 9, 2009 4:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

true

but it looked like Snider got a slow jump on the hit, which is why they held him. If he had gotten a better start, he should have been able to beat even a good throw

by SuckaMD on May 9, 2009 4:37 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I don't know....was picked on one bounce in shallow right....I didn't think he had a shot

Downs has now appeared in 15 games

which is more than any other closer in the AL. Only Francisco in Texas has been in 14. Downs pitched in 3 of 4 games and had 3 days of rest (Wed-Fri). He needs work? Can’t handle 4 days of rest after pitching 3/4? I find that rather unlikely.
