I'll get the link to the video up as soon as its available.
Tonight (6/26) the M's won because the pitcher was intentionally walking Carlos Peguero in a 1 to 1 game in the 10th inning.
It sounds like a cheap way to win a game until you look at Dustin Ackley's performance in that inning. First he hit a double...then he took 3rd on a fly ball that 75% of runners wouldn't try and 90% of those would get thrown out on... Then he was alert enough (during an intentional walk...not the first pitch out of it) to burst home even though the catcher deflected it a bit and the pitcher covered home immediately.
Just wondering if this was a first because I'm guessing the announcers had to have time to look it up too, but they didn't. Its a vague situation. Something I thought I'd never see.
