So Michael Bourn of the Astros decided to get in the act last night and stole home. I note that Bourn's was not a straight steal as it involved a double steal with a throw by the catcher down to second base followed by a throw back home to try and nab Bourn. While entertaining, this is coming on the heels of the Ellsbury and Werth steals of home and the "steal of home" thing might be getting just a little old now, thank you very much.
I have consulted with Computer Boy and Skate Kid and these are some things that we are "not tired of" that we would like to see in baseball games.
1. We would like to see more runners from second base attempt to take two bases and score on a sacrifice fly. If you are thrown out, well you tried.
2. We would also like to see more inside-the-park home runs. Just don't stop running. Make them throw you out.
3. How about more pitchers who can throw with either arm like that guy in the Yankees farm system who can negate any switch-hitting batter advantage? We can train em young.
4. Let Bernie the Brewer bat in a blowout game. Sign him to a one-day contract or something. Sliding down the slide after home runs is fun but I bet he would rather bat. He lives at the park after all. At the very least, give him a water slide.
When we get "tired" of these things, we will think of more stuff.
