I'll add this too -- it was AWESOME watching a guy going after the ball rather than waiting for the perfect pitch, and, NOT trying to hit it out of the park. A bloop single is still a single on a team that doesn't produce many hits at all. Even Duane Kuiper made mention of this. I hope Yaz2 keeps it up.
