I googled and looked to find the % of leadoff walks that score and came up empty. I have to believe that someone has studied this.

Interesting. My guess was that it didn't matter how the leadoff guy reaches first.

but is thrown out at 2nd.

 

 

No knock on Sandy at all, I didn't see the play and have no idea why he went for two, whether it was his or another's decision or this was legit -

 

but this getting tossed out on the bases is happening too much

 

there is a fine line between aggressive base running and stupidity

 

we can't keep giving away 2-4 outs a game

Bottom of the 6th.

 

-Sanchez with a base hit right up the middle.

 

-Crawford with a tailor made DP ball to Jose, but a high throw doesn't get Crawford. 1 out.

 

-Rolls flies out to Maggs.

 

-Baldelli flies out to Maggs.

 

I tell you, Schoeney has been awesome so far. All the right picthes. He hasn't been getting the 1st pitch strike often, but he's been effective.

Sandy figured it was gonna be caught, because the second basemen called it, so he stopped running as hard while he was getting into 1st base, then noticed that no one caught it and turned on the wheels again. If he hadn't slown down, then 2nd base was his.

Pro-Valentin - it was Crawford running to first so he rushed the throw.

 

Con-Valentin - he's done this, (run it to the bag, from fairly far away, and then throw it too high to first) a couple times already this year.

 

Oh well, still ended up being another good, effective inning for Schoenweis.
