dyuen Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 08:11 PM) I love running our 3 hole hitter into outs when our hot cleanup hitter is up. followed by our hotter player of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Because when we have big time power hitters coming up, dudes who hit lots and lots of HR we should be stealing bases with no outs. That just costs you runs in the long run. f***ing stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Aggressive base-running in front of power hitters = stupid. Should be 3-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 08:13 PM) Was it you that said Rios is bad at sliding into 2nd? Yes. He slides feet first and with his body VERY high every time. There's no room for adjustment with a foot first slide, if the throw beats you you're out. When you come in tall like that you're just making it easier for the fielder to get the glove on you when there's a high throw. There's just so much more to be gained by going head first, you're low and have more maneuverability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 What's going to affect us the most. Ozzie giving the steal sign constantly or Buerhle giivng up 7 hits ove 3 innings? I think it's just the manager trying to make things happen and hopefully MB can settle down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, Rios just goes when he wants. That is not a sign. They showed a perfect angle, he was beat. I'd be the first to get upset if he was safe but he wasn't. I hate Ozzie's super aggressive philosophy, Rios never steals this much but Ozzie emphasizes it. Before the season he actually went to Rios an told him to go nuts on the basepaths and it's costing us runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the season he actually went to Rios an told him to go nuts on the basepaths and it's costing us runs. Well, when the opposition's broadcasters think he was safe, and Alex thinks he was safe, and the angle showed the throw dying and his foot getting in, I'll believe he was safe. The angle from behind the base showed the glove not actually touching him till his foot was down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another friend of mine watching the game on extra innings says he was safe. I honestly don't care. It was close enough that the call could have gone either way, I saw it as safe on my 50 inch Samsung broadcasting the game in HD but really means nothing in the end. There's seriously no reason to be running in that situation, I said the exact same thing in the exact same situation during the Cubs series, it's silly. Especially with Rios who puts himself at a disadvantage as a base stealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
