Rocker goes yard...two run shot

[jdbulldog]

that makes 11 HR's which equals his total for all of last season. Yeah I know it should say Rooker....unable to edit that part. Rocker is appropriate for him anyway.

Damnit Poole! Swing the bat. 3 fastballs down the middle.

Rucker.* Yardball.

 

[Shamoan]

If our opponents just walked Rucker every at-bat, they would like have a 10-15% or better chance to win.

I wonder if that baseball looks like a beach ball traveling like a bubble in the wind to him?

That pitch looked like it was supposed to maybe be a slider that never moved. Surely to goodness he didn't throw Rooker a fastball over the plate in the 10th.

Cannizzaro made a nice move sliding Rooker up to the 2 spot. He's got a little protection behind him so he's seeing some good pitches.

ETA: Rooker said after the game he was sitting on a slider at 2-1 and he got it. Said he didn't think FIU pitcher would throw 4 straight fastballs and he was right. Dude is just a great hitter.

Cannizzaro after the game called him the best hitter in America

FIU lost that game when they allowed Mangum to get on base with no outs. Otherwise Rook would have never had a chance to swing the bat.

Conventional wisdom says you don't put a runner on second with no outs in a walk off situation but I might have just broken that rule with rooker. They essentially walked a run in on purpose earlier in the game because of him.
