A small-ball run to take the lead.

There is something I don't get. BB just said that it is ironic. That
the best way to hit home runs is when you don't try (on every bat).

Ironic? I, a fan, have been posting that for a long time. Why is BB,
a Major League player, manager and announcer, calling it ironic?

I have to believe that he spoke as a D-backs spokesman, rather
than as a baseball expert.

At least he said it.

Colorado's version of Jake Lamb, McMahon, playing 1B today, as well as the D-backs
version of Jake Lamb -- Jake Lamb -- playing 1B today, both took anemic swings and
struck out. Jake swung like he was hitting a golf club. And not on a putt.

Whatever happened to 1B being a "corner" (power) position?
