Batting disorder
Now baseball is supposed to be a non-contact sport. Shields of the Rays doesn't seem to like Mr. Crisp very much. Now getting to the batting disorder. Last August Tony LaRussa of St. Louis tired a little something different. Genius or pure luck you decide. He had first tired this in 1998. This time he had his pitcher hitting 8th. Joel Pineiro, his hurler, drew a walk, the ninth place hitter this day was Adam Kennedy who promptly hit a home run. The La Russa called in his second basemen, Aaron Miles to pitch. He pitched a perfect inning. The next day starter Adam Wainwright, hitting 8th, homered. On the next day St. Louis set a record by getting 10 consecutive hits in the 5th inning. During that uprising two players, had a pair apeace. Pitcher Braden Looper ( equaling his seven year total prior to 2007) and Miles hitting ninth. Our slugger up there is pitching tonight against the Cubs, if we win, it is a sweep of the Cubs. It is really hard to believe how well the Rays are playing. Thsere defense is leading the majors with a .986. A strong defense will win out most every time. Be careful out there. UC 157--Larry
