Chris Sale Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sox and Hawks both winning 2-1 late. Let's see if both can keep the leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) Ground ball + hit is greater than k. So the play makes sense No it doesn't. A hit and run is best used when: a) the batter is someone who does not frequently strike out, b) at a time when the count won't disadvantage a hitter if he takes a bad swing and c) with a runner fast enough to take second base even if the batter does strike out. The Sox didn't have a, b or c. And why do you think a ground ball or a hit is more likely than a K? Genuine question, just briefly thinking about it without running numbers I'd be really unsure about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 With that bomb Soto's OPS is now almost 100 points higher than Flowers'. I was also looking at the one thing Flowers has done well this year (pitch framing), and Soto is right behind him in that. Basically there's no reason Flowers should get more playing time.

Genuine question, just briefly thinking about it without running numbers I'd be really unsure about that. Run the numbers. You are wrong.the 2 bad things are a K and a line out in the infield. There is more than a 50% chance that doesn't happen. Edited June 11, 2015 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Sale Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Stupid call, should have been a dropped 3rd strike with a passed ball and Shuck on 1st. He walked him anyways, but watching the calls rack up against the Sox is awakening my inner meatball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:42 PM) Run the numbers. You are wrong. I'm not wrong about the hit and run. And I just said I'd be unsure about groundball/hit v K, not that it's wrong. I'm simply asking why you think that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Sale Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:48 PM) It wasn't a hit and run If it was, it means that Soto isn't taking signs, which opens another set of manager concerns. That being said, you're right --- probably was just a double play avoidance tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
