Damon's an Idiot
Damon once again was on second for Ortiz, but this time David bounces back to the pitcher. Wang looks Johnny back to second, then throws out Ortiz. Damon, for some reason, decides to head for third and is put out in a run down. Why he tried that:
- With two out.
- With Manny coming up.
- After he retreated to second.
Is beyond me.
Update: Jerry Remy makes a good point. On the replay, it looks like Damon thought the pitcher threw to second. Wang made a motion like that, but threw to first.
Maybe he's tryin' to get the ol' chants goin' :) Did Millar give him a pat on the back for that piece of brilliance?
