If at first you don’t succeed in giving up a HR to dead CF … throw a better meatball to the NEXT batter!

Nobody said a word.
Why?
Because he busted it out of the box, looking for at least a double, NOT taking a marginal HR for granted.
You DO that?
You get credit if you don’t decide to go for 2nd.
You dog it?
You get NO credit, just disdain.

But.
Well.
He didn’t.

He dogged that into a single.
