Clark instead of Jackson
That'll be because Clark is hitting .600 against Young. Er, in five at bats.

Okay, all three of his hits have left the yard, but none of them were in Petco. If he hits one out tonight, I'll be mollified, but otherwise, expect venom to drip from my lips.

I notice
The BaseballReference.com preview actually has Hernandez 2.0 listed as the starter... I'm not sure I'd really want that, though his last outing was by no means so bad.

Helped by Cameron's gaffe on the basepaths, and Gonzalez swinging at a 3-0 pitch out of the zone, and popping it up. Nice to know it's not just us who do that. Still, that gets Davis's ERA down below four. It's been a while...

Good question
I think he still gets the RBI even though he didn't get a hit but I could be wrong.  Anyone?

by batster on Aug 30, 2007 11:59 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

In more detail
The official rulebook of Major League Baseball states:

    (a) The official scorer shall credit the batter with a run batted in for every run that scores
    (1) unaided by an error and as part of a play begun by the batter's safe hit (including the batter's home run), sacrifice bunt, sacrifice fly, infield out or fielder's choice, unless Rule 10.04(b) applies;
    (2) by reason of the batter becoming a runner with the bases full (because of a base on balls, an award of first base for being touched by a pitched ball or for interference or obstruction); or
    (3) when, before two are out, an error is made on a play on which a runner from third base ordinarily would score.
    (b) The official scorer shall not credit a run batted in
    (1) when the batter grounds into a force double play or a reverse-force double play; or
    (2) when a fielder is charged with an error because the fielder muffs a throw at first base that would have completed a force double play.
    (c) The official scorer's judgment must determine whether a run batted in shall be credited for a run that scores when a fielder holds the ball or throws to a wrong base. Ordinarily, if the runner keeps going, the official scorer should credit a run batted in; if the runner stops and takes off again when the runner notices the misplay, the official scorer should credit the run as scored on a fielder's choice.

Of course.
Bases loaded walks always count as an RBI.

It would be childish and immature
And that is the official SnakePit line.

But it's a free country. :-)

Though after that last inning, I'd wait until the final out...

Why
was Davis left in so long - he cracked 100 several batters back, and he was clearly gassed this inning.  (Surely we have enough arms in the pen to hold an 8 run lead, in Petco.)

Because, oh... by the way...
Lyon and Peña are BOTH cashed these days.

True
and we need them for close games anyhow; but if the B-team can't hold a lead that big in a pitcher's park, then what the hell are they doing in the majors?

They're probably keeping him in because..
tomorrow they probably expect to use the bullpen quite a bit.

And breathe...
You know this team doesn't win games by eight runs. What do we have, three this year?

by Jim McLennan on Aug 31, 2007 12:47 AM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Confirmed
Three wins by eight runs or more, compared to eight such losses.

Well
that was a distressing half-inning.  Middle of the order (plus a PH) coming up.
