caulfield12 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 04:17 PM) Dude, the A's suck. You're declaring Cespedes an All Star caliber player because he poked a bloop RBI single to CF? He has all the tools, yeah. He's going to K a lot, but he is also going to put up 30+ homers and 80-90 RBI's in that huge mausoleum of a stadium. He could also get 25-35 steals. Declaring him an All-Star has nothing to do with that AB at all. I never said the A's were good, dude. I said about 10 times before this series they shouldn't let Cespedes beat them.

Jake Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Suicide squeeze was the perfect call and I, too, would have assumed that a player that has never really been a middle of the order hitter could execute it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going to strike out otherwise, and then you have Escobar trying to knock him in... I think that was a brilliant time to call the squeeze. Morel simply doesn't deserve to be on a major league ballclub right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the squeeze, way too much of a margin for error. In the 7th inning, if you can't rely on your hitter to make contact, then you should have someone ready to ph for him.

I was watching from home. But letting Gavin start the 8th at about 120 pitches was awful. The squeeze is what it is...but the Cespedes hit is the difference in the game right now. Pitching to him there was Ozzie s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
