Big ball wins again
In the battle of “big ball” (home runs and extra base hits) vs. “small ball” (sacrifice bunts, stolen bases, etc.) last night’s World Series game three was a clear win for big ball once again.
Small ball loses: In the bottom of the first, Louis Castillo tried to sacrifice bunt Juan Pierre over to third. Castillo got two strikes for his pains, and eventually struck out. Pierre scored later that inning on a base hit. In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Marlins tried small ball again; this time Juan Pierre got thrown out trying to steal second base to end the inning. And in the bottom of the seventh, the Marlins sent pitcher Josh Beckett to the plate to bunt the runner over to second instead of pinch hitting; the bunt was successful, but the runner ended up stranded at second.
Big ball wins: All of the runs in the game involved extra-base hits. In the bottom of the first, Juan Pierre scored for the Marlins on a base hit after doubling. In the top of the fourth, the Yankees’ Derek Jeter doubled, eventually scoring after two walks and a hit batsman. In the top of the eighth, Jeter doubled again, and scored on a single. And in the top of the ninth, the Yankees got four runs on two home runs, a solo shot by Aaron Boone and a three-run back-breaker by Bernie Williams.
