Lineups:
All right. I'm just hoping for less than 3 walks from Daisuke.
Oh. And a win.

All right, Oki.
Here’s question someone better than me can answer, though I think the answer is no.
On a fielder’s choice GB like Ibanez hit, where the situation did not change at all, does the runner at 1st, which has changed, still belong to Daisuke? I’m thinking not, like I said, but…would also seem strange to pin a run on Oki after getting a GB if Ibanez had come around to score.
