Virginia Giant Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Feel free to agree or disagree * Bunting for a hit is cheap and unprofessional no matter the circumstances. * Same with the intentional walk. * Any home run hit should be run by the batter like Mickey Mantle. * A fly out at the warning track is still an out, even if it does score a run. * Sliding into first is faster than running it out, and even if it isn't, it energizes the team. * Hit em where they ain't. * 0-2 with runners on, put the ball in play. * Hit the cutoff man.

Virginia Giant Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 if sliding is faster how come you never see marathon runners at the olympics slide at the finish line head first? Because with the shorts they wear and the track they run on they'd look like shredded meat after the first few races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
