King Felix- IBB to Choo to load the bases and face Hafner?

VizquelCollector.com · Aug 15, 2010

Grand Slam. Now hit the showers Felix.

I LOVE when a team walks someone intentionally to load the bases and the next batter hits a grand slam. That must feel incredible, you know?

Nice job, Hafner.

Was Hafner the go-ahead run? I'm all for loading the bases to create a force situation and face a weaker batter if you're not putting the go-ahead or even tying run on base.

with no run support 1 or 10 runs scored against you is about the same. . sad

The Tribe was up 2-0 at that point, bottom of the 7th with 2 outs. I get the strategy, but my point is I love when the "weaker" batter hits a grand slam. Jason Nix rubbed a little more salt in the wound with a solo shot off their reliever.

Agree or disagree.

Travis Hafner without steriods is no better than Morgan Ensberg without steriods. Discuss.

I'm obviously biased, but I don't have to be to understand that this is ridiculous. Ensberg's statistical dropoff was much more pronounced than Hafner's has been. In addition, Hafner has never been linked to steroids. Ever. That's not to say he wasn't taking something, but I don't believe it was steroids (and he's denied taking them, for what that's worth).

That said, walking Choo to get to Hafner was the right call. Sadly, Hafner is still just a shell of what he once was.

It has certainly seemed that way the last 2 or 3 years.
