Anectdotal Nonsense

Last season I was watching a Mets-Rockies affair when non other than Byung-Hyun Kim came to bat. Well there happened to be a runner on second, Clint Barmes. (You may remember Barmes as the fellow who got badly injured last year carrying Todd Helton's deer meat.) Well as Kim is not really a fantastical hitter, he was called upon by manager Clint Hurdle to bunt over Barmes. Kim lays down a bunt right in front of the plate, unlikely to move over the runner. As you may have guessed by now, this is not the exciting part of our story. Instead of running down to first base, as is customary in baseball, Kim just stands there. He does not move, he simply waits to be tagged out by our hero, the catcher. Barmes has no idea whether to run or to stay at second. This leads to my all time favorite statement by an announcer, exclaimed by Keith Hernandez:

"What the hell is Kim doing?!"

Absolute brilliance on Keith's part.
