MyBuddyI'm amazed how "baseballically" correct the Haas card is:
Bases loaded, with less than two outs, sharp line drive single to left field, run scores.
Bases loaded: Obvious, four Haas pigs running bases.
Less than two outs: Less obvious but some definite clues. 1 -- Haas pig sliding into home (as memtioned with other card, sliding into forced base does you no good). 2 -- Chorela skeleton catcher attempting tag, not an inning ending force at home. 3 -- Pig running from second to third still very close to second. If there were 2 outs, he would have been running on contact and been much closer to third.
Sharp line drive to left field: Once again, pig running from second had to hold up to see if the line dive made it thru infield. While pig running from first got a bigger jump since the ball was on the other side of field. You could also make the arguement that the pig running from second was trying to draw a throw to third, allowing run to score more easilly.
Run scores: Obvious, Cholera skeleton late with tag. All other skeletons either dismayed and/or frantic. Scorekeeper marking run on scoresheet.
Now what the groundhog manager is telling the on-deck batter, I don't know ... (I have to get out more often)
