Jim Palmer's prescient words

Beautiful moment in the Birds' 10th after Nick Markakis stole second. Kevin Millar was at the plate with one out, and the count 1-1. With first base open, and Aubrey Huff on deck, up in the MASN booth, Jim Palmer wonders aloud: "Now what do you do? Do you walk Millar, with his numbers (against the Red Sox reliever Snyder) and pitch to Huff?"

Guess Terry Francona wasn't listening.

Two pitches later, the game was over -- Millar taking it into the seats.

Ba-boom!

Jim Palmer is a great baseball mind.
We're lucky to have him in Baltimore,
and he was a pretty good pitcher too !!
