Absolutely terrible strategy this inning. Also means you can't hit for Flowers if you want to.

 

I don't hate the hit-and-run on 1-0 there. The probability of Alexei grounding into a double play there was really good...3 ground outs tonight now.

With Ramirez, Flowers and Hudson hitting, you weren't counting on a run there, but DeAza's always clutch.

 

Just not our series so far. It's the Blue Jays. What new?

 

That would be 11-28 now? or 11-29?

 

 

Actually, losing these two games isn't the end of the world. It exposes our weaknesses again. Things were just going too well to continue like they had been, so the devil's advocate position is that losing first place might be what our team needs to get back going again and realize there are some obvious areas for improvement.

 

Nobody would have ever expected the Indians to go 5-0 against the Tiggers, either. Especially in DET, now.

I think it's time for Lillibridge to find work elsewhere. Total waste of a roster spot.

 

And to think that, according to a random Jon Heyman tweet, the Mariners wanted to pay dearly for him in the off-season and we wouldn't part with him. Classic sell high situation

He's fine as a 9th inning defensive replacement and pinch runner. However, he needs to make sure that if he tries to advance a base in these type of situations, there's no doubt he'll be safe. That is the third time, by my count, he's been caught stealing in situations where it was inexcusable. I don't understand the decision making with running for AJ that inning in a 2 run game that inning, especially with the possibility that he could have come up to bat in the 9th in a big spot in case a few more runners reached.

Was there ever a specific player named?

 

We heard all offseason how Lillibridge was the most inquired-about player on our roster.

 

 

The other side of it is at that time, we didn't have Fukudome and he was probably our best back-up to Beckham and Morel falling on their faces, too.

 

But yeah, whatever the return would have been >>> 10X Lillibridge's value now
