Is there a more exciting play in baseball than a well executed suicide squeeze bunt?

[KitchenWitch]

:D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. I suspect there isn't, my dear KW...

But they happen so damn fast that it's almost impossible to see clearly what's happening...

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

2. I was totally on the edge of my seat.

The Twins executed one perfectly tonight!

:D

[mopinko]

3. a triple play?

can only remember seeing one.

[KitchenWitch]

4. I think the triple play and the suicide squeeze are both very exciting

and I would be at a loss to decide which is more exciting. I guess the unassisted TP would probably be the apex of exciting baseball plays.

[mopinko]

5. well, you get to see a lot more

suicide squeezes. dh is obsessive about scoring when attending games and says he doesn't remember ever scoring a tp, and he has seen a lot of ball games.
me, i just drink beer.

23. I saw one. I'd put it over the squeeze just because of the game-changing thrill of it.

A team goes from runners in scoring position with no outs to the dugout on one swing. That's pretty pumped up.

6. it`s a lost art in baseball

a suicide squeeze bunt and a infield triple play..that`s baseball

[Dr. Strange]

7. How about that one...

where the naked cheerleaders come running out onto the field? I forget what it's called. I love that play!

[Robeson]

8. "suicide squeeze bunt"....

...that describes exactly how I feel after just spending the night in GD P...:freak:

[KitchenWitch]

9. Yah, but yer a freak!

:D

[Robeson]

14. Freak hell, I'm a Super Freak!...

10. After a big go-round with a couple of folks over there, I feel like:

TAWANDA!!!!!!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Robeson]

11. Hey SeattleGirl, I caught that from one of your antagonist over there....

...you have to admit, it's never a dull moment....:crazy:

[SeattleGirl]

13. That's so true.

I've pretty much kept myself in check while over there, but tonight, I had just had it when I saw that total LIE of a thread. So, out came my inner Tawanda.

Damn, no wonder I feel a lot better now! :7

[Robeson]

15. My tongue is bleeding, from all the times I've had to bite it...

...in that forum....;-)

12. I like a straight steal of home,

but it's hard to argue against a suicide squeeze.

[pokerfan]

18. Our local A club

won their league championship series with a straight steal a few years ago.

[pokerfan]

16. Nope

No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there.

Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!

He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!

Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

[KitchenWitch]

17. STOP RIGHT THERE!

I gotta know right now.

[pokerfan]

19. What's funny

is the Seinfeld episode with the Phil Rizzuto talking keychain just aired here about two hours ago.

[KitchenWitch]

20. ROFL

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. For my money, it's an extra-base hit with the bases loaded

Don't get me wrong — I adore the squeeze, the double steal (Dodgers pulled one on Opening Day) and the hit-and-run, but when somebody cranks one into the gap or down one of the lines with the bases loaded, you've got 13 guys in motion and quite a few possible outcomes.

'Course, there's somethin' to be said for certain home runs, too. :D

22. I wish I could find the clip but the Kirby Puckett homer in the 6th game of the 1991 WS

"And we'll see you tomorrow night!"

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Y'know I didn't see a single pitch of that Series?

I was wrapped up with designing, building, staffing and managing a 20,000-square-foot haunted house. :D

[KitchenWitch]

28. That must have been fun.

:D

We got 30 inches of snow two days after that series was over.

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. It was HUGH fun

And I didn't really care about the Series that year — I mean, Minnesota and Atlanta?



Imagine my chagrin afterward when it was hailed as Teh Best Series EVarrrr. :(



Oh — gonna PM you a story about that haunted house that I think you'll appreciate. :D

[EFerrari]

24. No. But if you tell my boyfriend, I'll deny like NIxon.

:)

26. Sometimes a good triple can be.

The hit, the run, usually a fielder chasing a ball into a corner or to the wall, the rounding of second, the suspense of whether he'll go for third, of whether the throw will make it. And the play stretches across half the field, while you watch and measure and guess.

[ashling]

27. I would brefer a lemon bundt

but that's just me :shrug:

[riverdale]

30. Straight steal of home
