Major League is on ...

"swung and driven towards Central America. Tomlinson will need a visa to catch that one..."

 

"Lou! Charlie Donovan here. How would you like to manage the Indians this season?"
"I dunno Charlie, I'm gonna have to get back to you. I got a guy on the other line about some whitewalls."

 

"That's all we got, one goddamn hit?"

"You can't say goddamn on the air."

"Don't worry, nobody is listening anyway."

 

"Postgame show is brought to you by...ah christ, I can't find it, the hell with it."

 

My question is this:

Assuming WM Hayes was the leadoff man, what the hell is Lou doing batting Jake Taylor second? A 38-year old catcher with bad knees is not exactly prime on base material.

 

Two outs when the play happened, right? Is it possible two guys hit between WMH and Taylor?

 

Also: We're all geeks.

 

Jesus H. Christ. Would you people stop fucking up every fucking line of the movie.

This guy here is dead.

MOST of these guys never had a prime.

Don't try again. You already hurt yourself.

Charlie: Lou! Charlie Donovan here. How would you like to manage the Indians this season?
Lou: Oh, I dunno.
Charlie: What do you mean you don't know? This is a chance to manage in the big leagues.
Lou: Let me get back to you, will ya, Charlie? I got a guy on the other line about some whitewalls. I'll talk to ya later."

 

And shouldn't Cerrano have been called out for carrying his bat around the bases with him after his homer?

 

One of the no-name guys hit a warning track shot before WM Hayes. And I think Taylor was in the on deck circle when Mays was at bat.

 

First time I saw the movie, I almost shit at the conclusion.
I had a long-running feud with a local baseball coach who tried to squeeze guys in from second, or tried the double squeeze, runners on second and third, all the freaking time.
I blasted him when he tried it during a playoff game, runners on second and third. The batter homered in the first inning, a 400-foot shot. Homered in the third inning, the ball was still going up when it cleared the fence. So in the fifth, same batter, same pitcher. He tried the double squeeze with disastrous results.
I blasted the guy for over-managing. There were other instances, too.
I was hoping Jake Taylor had been out at first.

 

Did your Jake Taylor call his shot, then bunt? That's the key.
