Get in Rizzo. By the way, Risso is my cup of tea on the brexit thread too!

Enjoying it so far?

He should have been struck out though. Maybe it really is luck changing time!

Very much so. Not a clue how they know whether it's a strike or not. I guess it's a bit like off side in Rugby.😳

Then again that should have been a K as well. Daft taking him out I reckon.

The strike zone is roughly between the knees and letters on the jersey and the width of the plate. All educational Johnno

That's why I wouldn't have put Lester in. They may get away with it but a pitcher that can't throw to first is crazy.

And as I hit enter there's 2 runs that wouldn't have scored, certainly not like that, if you don't have Lester on the mound.

If they lose this it will be all down to that change as momentum has changed. IMO as bad a decision as us leaving Pedro on in 2003.

What gets me is, if I as an, at best, enthusiastic amateur can call it beforehand regarding Lester, why can't the manager? It's as though he was determined to get Lester in.
