Sorting Out The Rundown
There have been some questions about play that ended last night's game. It was a very, very bizarre play - a passed ball on a strike three to Pat Burrell. I think the confusion started when Burrell started to run to first base. He cannot advance in that situation with the bases loaded. At third base, Jimmy Rollins did a great job - I give him a lot of credit for his baserunning on that play. Michael Barrett had a lot of different things he could do. Probably the best thing he could have done was just run Rollins all the way back to third base and at worst, go after the next hitter with the bases loaded.

Bob,
When the Cubs face half-speed lefty ("flippers" I call em) why can't the hitters move up in the box to get to the breaking balls before they break much?
