In a close game, you'd hate to let Ellsbury get on second where he can easily score on most singles. But, if the pitcher gets too distracted, the batter gets on anyway.<BR/><BR/>But, that's the beauty of speed on the bases - creates all kinds of problems for the defense!Roosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791799560386548665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865472811324227620.post-47705367194858471752008-06-19T13:10:00.000-04:002008-06-19T13:10:00.000-04:00What you said about the pitcher focusing on Ellsbu...What you said about the pitcher focusing on Ellsbury and letting Pedroia get on base struck a chord with me. I've been thinking other teams, when they let Ellsbury on, should just ignore him and consider it a run the second he hits 1st base. I mean, all the pitchers are losing it over Ellsbury. Wouldn't writing him off be more profitable to their game? It was fun, though, and I hope you're right about us clubbing the Cardinals.gingerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405622389890404919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865472811324227620.post-89217413300861183752008-06-19T12:24:00.000-04:002008-06-19T12:24:00.000-04:00FW - I should have gone in to teaching!

Took a 5 minute walk over, they came by 10 minutes later, and walked back. It was a lot of fun - smiles everywhere.
