Goober Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 So glad Collins didn't waste a swing in that situation there. Needs to save his energy so he can swing later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we didn't lose the runner on 3rd, the next 2 guys made no contact. True, but they totally play it different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the contact play was not on, then I don’t think signs have anything to do with it. With no contact play on, Yoan could have just stupidly reacted to what he initially thought was a ball hit slow enough to allow him to score. I guess this discussion is dumb though. I’m not even saying I think that’s what happened. It was likely the contact play. I just found it amusing that everybody reacted as if they KNEW, when in reality, nobody knows for sure.

It was most likely the contact play, but there’s a chance Yoan just decided to run. Old man bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the contact play wasn’t on and Moncada didn’t wait to see where the ball went before running? That is also bad coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is also bad coaching. I disagree. There has to be some level of instincts on the base paths. If Jose hits a dribbler (I’m talking very slow, swinging bunt style), then Yoan should take off. If you wait to see where it goes, then it’s too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
