We must have gotten a new plate umpire for this "second" game...he's been calling a tight zone since the eight or nineth.
Garner has been great recently... lets hope this is not one move too many (even though T. Miller has been nailz since the all-star break). Great job Sampson.
Pujols bats 0.089 in HRs and 0.151 in extra base hits. Rolen bats 0.294 with hits. You pitch to Pujols everytime. It's different in the 9th or in a situation where the game is over with the lead runner, but there's no way you can put the winning run in scoring position where Rolen just needs a single. You take your chances with Pujols getting an extra base hit and if he beats you, so be it.
