As far in as Inge was when he fielded the bunt, there's no way Kubel was going to successfully move Morneau over - and (at least, in my opinion) there's no way Inge got that far in without tipping his intentions long before Kubel put down the bunt.<BR/><BR/>Instead, we got Morneau forced out at 2nd, and then we got Rabe thrown out at 2nd attempting to steal (in an effort to get a runner to 2nd with one out, which is where we would have been with a successful sacrifice). And then, of course, the single that followed that would've scored Morneau from 2nd weas wasted.<BR/><BR/>The Tigers deserve a lot of credit. They are relentless - and (hard to believe it, given where they were just a year or so ago) far too good to beat if you botch bread & butter baseball plays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-1154212056320734382006-07-29T17:27:00.000-05:002006-07-29T17:27:00.000-05:00Liriano also leads the league in K/9 (by a hefty m...Liriano also leads the league in K/9 (by a hefty margin), slugging against, on base percent against, and hits/9.
