Bad Baseball

Bad baseball, very bad baseball....BAD BASEBALL...catch this...you are a big league team...the Padres...you are leading in the top of the 9th...up one, 5-4...your leadoff guy gets walked...you pinch hit your normal starting 2nd baseman...all good thus far...obvious bunt sit, right?  Nope, not SD...your 2B has struck out 10 of his last 16 at bats....and you don't bunt...you try a hit and run...of course, he makes no contact...the runner is nailed at 2nd easily...then your 2B batter goes out meekly...of course, the next batter up singles sharply to center...oh yea, would have been an insurance run...and...he then gets picked off trying to steal...OMG!

So the Pads bring in their closer, Heath Bell, to erase the utter stupidity of the offense...and he does his job...and wins...BUT, it's bad baseball kids....VERY BAD BASEBALL....
