Doing it Hall

Talk about a good couple of days - one night after hitting a pinch-hit, walk-off home run against the Reds, Milwaukee Brewers inflielder Bill Hall laid down a walk-off bunt in the bottom of the tenth inning (having already hit a game-tying double in the eighth) to clinch a 10-9 win against Cincinnati.

It's been a hell of a couple of days in Milwaukee - in the space of two games they've had a player hit for the cycle, a walk-off home run and a walk-off suicide squeeze (both by the same guy!) and, to cap it all, the biggest comeback win in franchise history.

Call me crazy, but I'd rather see a walk-off suicide squeeze than a walk-off home run. I guess I'll always be a baseball fundamentals kind of guy...
