Score some fucking runs thread

[MAD]

Getting on base is a skill.  A player doesn't "forget" or "remember" how do that when runners appear on base before he steps to the plate or when the game goes into the later innings.

True, but there has to be some players affected by the mental part of the game.  "Shit.  We aren't scoring runs and I'm up here with the bases loaded and no one out.  It's all hanging on me!"

Ump: "Strike three!"

Player walks back to the dugout.

It's like Crash Davis said: "If you believe you're playing well because you're getting laid or because you're not getting laid or because you wore red silk panties -- then you are!"

That has to be true for some players.

Some guys like seeing the bases loaded. It's fung, mang, since they know the pitcher will have to be a little more careful, maybe not rear back as much.

I humbly submit Corey Snyder and Robin Ventura as models for this type of hitter.

I believe the former Chicago Cub and later Cleveland Indian you were looking for was Pat Tabler.

Pat Tabler.

OPS'ed .821 with RISP, 1.198 with bases loaded...

MAD, I think Morph is calling you out for not remembering that Tabler was a Cub.

Hmpf.

Does Morph remember how upset Pat Tabler was when new GM Dallas Green acquired Bump Wills on the eve of the Season Opener in 1982?  Heading into Opening Day in Cincinnati, Junior Kennedy was slated to be the starting second baseman, with Tabler as the backup.  The Wills acquisition meant Tabler had to start the season in Des Moines, and the kid wasn't happy about it.

In any event, I didn't bother to mention Tabler's ex-Cub status as I don't recall him doing anything of significance with the bases loaded as a Cub.  No, he developed that reputation with Cleveland.

Well, they scored 5 today and had the tying run at 2nd in the 9th.  Of course, this was the day that Ted Lilly didn't have his good stuff.  Damnit.

• Reunion time?: And now for another potential Cleveland deal to watch: For all the weird talk in Chicago last week about some kind of fictional rift between Mark DeRosa and Lou Piniella, we've been hearing that the Cubs have kicked the tires on a deal that could bring DeRosa back to Wrigleyville.
