But I would think he'd probably have a better chance of striking our Hart than McGehee. Hart strikes out more. I don't know that Byrd should have been so far back either, it took him awhile to get to the ball. Again though, I think logic dictates you play no doubles, you respect McGehee's power. Just a shitty situation all around.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't know that this was a case of Byrd being too far back or not. It seemed to me the ball was really slowly hit. It took forever to get out of the infield.
You are probably right about it being easier to strike out McGehee, but there were 2 outs, so any kind of out would work. Walking mcGehee left no margin for error, and Marmol need a big margin.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
