three more baseball games

we didn't make it to a major league game today, but we watched sam play three games.  craig said coaching third base for six hours was way too long.  sam got out of his mini-slump after hitting a double and then going on to get more hits including two bunt hits, one an rbi single and the other a suicide squeeze, one of the hardest hitting feats in baseball.  with a runner on third, the batter bunts while the guy on third goes.  he is usually two or three steps from home when the bunt happens.  the reason it is called a suicide squeeze is because if the batter doesn't pull off a good bunt, he's hanging the baserunner out to dry and he usually gets out.

we never take enough pictures of craig so we took some candids of him coaching.  look at the air he gets on that last one.  and in one he looks like he's really telling someone to slide.  i hope they were safe. 

we were so busy with sam's games on saturday, we didn't make it to an mlb game.  we did meet our friend, keith johnson, for dinner saturday night at the cheesecake factory.  keith was just promoted to be the manager for the angels aaa organization in salt lake.  we had a lot of fun talking about baseball with him.
