Scoring a run.

Since Halladay is quite capable of stringing some 8-10 pitch innings together, making the ‘30’ number pointless.

Fielder in particular seems like he's toned it down a little this year

I don’t really have a problem with the untucking, or Beast Mode (that’s annoying, but I don’t hate it), or even the bowling ball thing.

The thing I hate the most about Fielder & Braun is that they’re good hitters.

Eh, I don't that the Brewers, but Nyjer Morgan is pretty clearly a jack ass.

Which isn’t the worst thing in the world, but sure is annoying and pretty much impossible to root for.

The other guys I can pretty much take or leave. I always kinda liked Corey Hart. I find Fielder interesting as a player because of the way he’s built, but I’ve found him a bit off putting at times too.

If for one night only

can Furcal go without giving away an at-bat by trying to bunt for a base hit.

Doubt it.

It’s more of a gut feel thing, looking at the 1b/3b positioning. It’s actually a high percentage play for a hit if you pick your spots.
