props for bobby korecky (which is one of the cutest names ever)
on monday night, bobby was called from the bullpen in that insane game in which we used almost every player we have. he pitched well, eventually getting the win. the moment that got the most cheering of the night, though, was when that little guy got up to bat in the bottom of the 11th. seeing as twins pitchers don't bat (unless we're playing an away game against a national league team), he hadn't batted since 2003. but then...bobby korecky became the first twins pitcher to get a hit in an american league game! go him!""When I got the hit and started running, I thought, 'This is great,'" Korecky said. "Then I realized the right fielder could possibly throw me out if I don't hurry up here. I would have never heard the end of that, so I just tried to hustle to first base and go from there."" - mlb.com
yay, bobby!

pitchers get so excited when they get hits - they're cute :)
it was a bright shining moment. he ended up getting batted over to 3rd base, and i was so hoping someone would hit him home so he could cross home plate, but nobody did.
but really, the first twins pitcher EVER to get an AL hit? cool.
they've only had to bat 6 times in an al game since the dh rule went into place in the early 70s
(i'm so smart :) )
i don't think you can say i'm an obsessive nerd about HP anymore... ;)
:D :P
