Guess Who’s Back?
All indications are that Manny Rameriz has finally showed up. And, if the last 10 games are of any importance — .400 and 10 RBIs — I think we can expect a little bit of Manny being Manny.
After walking David Ortiz in the 8th inning, G. Mota of the Cleveland Indians had to pitch to Manny with 2 runners on. Why put 2 runners on in a tie ballgame and possibly the best right handed hitter in the game today coming to the plate? Well, the greatest clutch hitter (aka David Ortiz, aka Big Papi) had a homerun earlier in the night for his 9th on the year.
As is usual with Manny, he has great power to the opposite field. All three of his homeruns this season have gone out at right-center. Although his homerun was not a 500 foot shot, his stance and trot from home plate certainly made it seem like it was. Oh well, what can you say? Manny being Manny…
