So you never struck out or popped up trying to hit a fly ball in this situation?

I would agree in principle but it seems at the major league level they've gotten away from that. They're terrible at moving runners and situational hitting. Just ask anyone who's seen 162 Blue Jays games.

Good game in NY so far. I see that both Jeter and A-Rod are in their usual post-season form
