He was 0-3 going into that AB. Meaning the Spanks already gave him 3 chances for the hit. And now he comes up in the bottom of the 8th with runners on 2nd and 3rd. Are the Spanks supposed to groove one to him there? Does the fact that the strategy was sound for that game situation mean nothing?


I hate the Spanks just as much as the next guy, but stfu. This is a non-story.

Intentionally walking a guy with no home runs and two doubles on the season is bold. Especially with two outs.


Miggy wasn’t given an intentional pass at all last season. He now has 236 IBBs for his career, ten back of Griffey Jr for 8th all time.

Walking him puts a force at every base and leads to a favorable L/R matchup.

You can argue the strategy of the play if you want. I wasn’t watching the game and the results of the game has nothing to do with anything in my life, so I don’t really care. But trying to make a case that the Spanks somehow did him dirty is ridiculous.

Never said they did him dirty.


Results aside, I think it was a dumb move. There were two outs and the slowest slap hitter in baseball was at bat.

Precisely. This isn't Miggy from 2012 lol. If there was one out.. ok fire away. But you can't sell me on playing for the force there.

Ummm..no, dipwad.....it's because I don't closely follow the tigers or the yankees.
But if you really think 66 is "old"....then that's your problem.

The dude prolly weighs 280.


Like you need to have the force at second in play.

(Even though he had an infield hit yesterday. Which was hilarious.)

66 is the new 39.
Get with the program, dude.
And in the old days, 39 was a village elder and ready to take the “long walk”.


Well. It was nice knowing you, friend.

The average liberal can subtract 10-12 years off their life based on all the stress they suffer with too, so…dude is lucky to be alive.
