On a roll with the posts! 2 in the same 2. 2 more to go today.
Day 4 - LEARN.
Remember that 18 inning game I just mentioned? (Those of us who were there will likely never forget it...) Besides learning that it is possible to sit in the wind and survive an 18 inning game, I learned something new about baseball at the game.
Until Saturday night, I didn't know that you could make a pitching change in the middle of an at-bat. I knew you could if your pitcher on the mound got hurt, but just "because you no longer like the matchup or whatever the reason was?" Didn't know that. Saturday I saw that happen. I didn't score the game (I might have run out of ink in my pen! And pages in my scorebook), so I don't remember the full circumstances. But the Nats had a guy on, and someone up at bat. First pitch the runner steals 2nd base. And then the Giants made a pitching change. At least I think that's what happened. So, you're never too old to learn something new about a sport you love. Especially in the playoffs.

PS I checked the play-by-play. It happened in the bottom of the 8th inning.
