poppysox Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 This would be a great win for having our poorest battery and a far cry from our best lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he misses it Sanchez is out at home, or in a run down. 1 out, 1st and 3rd, your chances of scoring are much higher letting the batter swing away (Cordell had been killing the ball all game too if you want to make a situational argument). Just because a call works or is dramatic and fun does not mean it was a good call. That said, it was absolutely dramatic and fun, so we may as well go lock up the W now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppysox Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 This was a win in a game most felt was looking pretty doubtful. Two games under .500. This game was won by the second tier guys. Great game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't how it works: Let's say Steph can shoot 20% from half-court, which is amazing and also a bad shot. He shoots 4, misses 4. All 4 were bad shots. Now he shoots and makes a 5th. You don't sit there and say it was a good shot because it worked this time, gotta give him credit. He made a bad shot I did some fact checking of myself, however. In this case, I will admit there is some room for debate. For the situation (1st, 3rd 1 out) the run expectancy of a squeeze is negative (so you are expecting to score less runs than if you did not do it). But, some people have argued that, at least with a good bunter, your run probability (chances of scoring a single run) are a touch higher. So in the bottom of the 9th of a tie game, probably a good call. With 3 outs left to get, it really is opinion probably, and how highly you think of Colome. 7th and earlier, it is no bueno. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked thus it's a GREAT call. It's about results! It worked. Ricky take a bow. A-plus move there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked....I like it. Cordell can bunt...I like it. If a guy can't bunt...I don't like it. It has more advantages when you have their backs to the wall like the situation tonight.

It was the same bunt happy slow pitch softball shit that he always does... It's okay to do something like that every once and awhile.. but he does it all the time. Just because his squeeze worked once doesn't take away from the fact that his strategy is epically horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
