Eric Gagne did an amazing thing yesterday (1 Viewer)

[Flash]

Astros 8th inning, he loads the bases with no outs, and gets out of it with no runs scored.

All with only 8 pitches.

To be fair he really didn't load the bases. A bunt hit that Hall should have made a play on, a HBP that Berkman faked, and an error by Prince that at worst should have been one out if not two. But to think the whole inning was 8 pitches is crazy. I would be really mad at Pence for swinging at the first pitch witht eh bases loaded and no outs.

Efficient.

True, but it's still a great job of getting out of a jam which was basically my point.

The bases were loaded with no outs. Two pitches later the inning was over and both of those pitches were changeups.

I agree with "amazing" here.

What's amazing was that I thought "he saved a game or didn't bring the gas can with him from the bully."
