Al Hrabosky does color commentary for the Cardinals on FSN. We've talked about him before. Tonight, with the Cardinals behind 5-1 in the bottom of the ninth to the Reds, with 2 men on, and 1 out, Juan Encarnacion came to the plate. This is not encouraging, since Juan's career OBP is like really shitty. Either way, he has some pop in his bat, so a home run would be nice, right? Al Hrabosky doesn't think so.
"Juan has scored a run in the last 7 games; if he can drive in these 2 runners and put himself in scoring position, he could extend that streak...."
Or, you know, if he hit a home run, he'd score without having the next hitter drive him in (Adam Kennedy...). Wait, what's that, AL?
"A 3-run homer is a rally killer in this situation."
God damnit. A home run...is the best possible outcome of an at-bat. Always. Juan Encarnacion and Adam Kennedy subsequently failed to reach base, and the Cardinals lost. At least neither of them went yard!
