Nice, Victorino with a great hustle play to stretch a single into a double. Bell knocks him in, 2-0. Lets get this inning over with so this game becomes official.

Floyd doesn't get the bunt down.

I was so pissed the other night!  The local news I was watching ran out of time last night so they couldn't show the Victorino take down at home plate the other night.  They talked about it real brief, gee thanks.  Sick of all the Michele Wei stories.  Show more Shane!

For as often as these pitchers CAN get the bunt down, there is no use bunting with one out.  Better off telling him to never take the bat off his shoulder asnd take three pitches.

Man on 1st and 2nd and none out?  Bunt to set up the sacrifice fly.

Man on 1st and 2nd and one out?  What's the use?

Bases loaded - Utley's up.

Floyd doesn't get the bunt down.

I think it's pretty asinine that Floyd looked so helpless trying to lay down a bunt.

From middle school, to American Legion, to high school, then the rinky-dink college I pitched for, when you weren't throwing at practice, you were working on bunts. Granted, it is a skill, and some people just aren't good, but Floyd looked like someone explained how to bunt to him in the dugout, and it was his first attempt ever.

They've stranded what, 6-7 guys tonight?

Since they don't hit pitchers in the minor leagues, I wonder how much practice the pitchers actually get for bunting.

Great pitch by Floyd to get the inning ending K on Beltran.

None.

Yep.  Beltran was definitely not looking for a fastball down the middle.  Amazingly enough.

That pitch had some good movement on it and slightly painted the outside corner of the plate.

Tarps are coming on the field from the sudden downpour. At least this one's official.

[Rome]

Ahahahaha.  It started raining cats & dogs 30 seconds after the end of the 1/2 inning.

Official game!  W0Ot!!!!1111!
