But they did everything they could to lose it.

Leaving the bases loaded twice in the late innings? Yikes.

WTF, self?

is derrick robinson

bunting his way on base, or routinely beating out weak grounders? because i’ve seen on gameday a couple of “singles on ground ball to pitcher”s regarding d-rob.

If it bounces more then once, or bounces moderately high, might as well just hold onto the ball.

I might also,

but that depends on UNO hockey. They’re playing game 2 of a best-of-3 playoff series tonight (after winning last night), and if they were to lose tonight, I’ll have to go back to Omaha to cheer them on for Game 3.
