9/1 GDT Huddy @ Rox

RBI for Blanco....6-2 Giants that was a big run

I would love to see the butcher block right now from Huddy

You mean butcher boy?

An almost forgotten skill is the swinging bunt, often referred to as a “slash”, a “butcher boy”, “slug bunt”, or other name. Whatever you call it, the action is pretty much the same: the batter squares as if to attempt a sacrifice bunt, then pulls the bat back slightly and swings at the pitch. The goal is to chop down on the ball and hit it over the head of, or past, the charging third baseman or first baseman.

It’s possible you’ll never see this play at the Major League level in your lifetime, but it can be a deadly weapon at the high school level on up. Any player on the team can learn it, and be effective, simply by practicing it on a daily basis. It should be part of every player’s batting practice routine; for example, make the slash be the last two or three swings of every session.

Got one run in. Not the optimal AB, but could have been worse.

 

[Stokes1931]

Stamos lives!

 

[Band of Brothers]

Craw on fire ...double and RBI. 7-2 He is back.

Doesn't matter what is actually called. He will continue to call it the Butcher Block, because, you know, he's doing his own thing and all...

Looking more and more like five and dive is a best case scenario

Kruk and Kuip talking about the Movie Paint your wagon. Great flick. There is a song on that soundtrack called .."There's a coach coming in "that I like that is perfect for the PA guy at the yard to use when the pitching coach or manager comes in to talk to a pitcher.

If it is the opposing pitching coach, I prefer "Another One Bites the Dust"

Morneau and Arenado SPOM and FPOM.

Huddy says, "Thank You!"

 

[calsnowskier]

Did Pagan call off Panik? He looked like he wasn't expecting to be on the hook for that ball.

This is Colorado. You have to adjust your shitometer.
