I hate this thread.
Let's not pick on Beckham or Quentin who went 0-fers. Let's pick on teh guy who managed to get on third and had a brain fart. Sure, he was on base twice tonight, with two hits, which is two more than Beckham or Quentin, or 1 more than Rios, Thome, AJ, or Alexei, but let's get pissed at Scott Podsednik.
His OBP is only the THIRD HIGHEST ON OUR ENTIRE TEAM of those who played tonight.
But screw him. You're right, he's worthless...
That was the single dumbest play I have ever seen by a professional baseball player considering the situaton. How you get picked off 3rd is beyond me. The play was not even close. Yes Q went OFer however if Pods doesnt get picked off we are talking about Q with the game winning rbi on that deep fly to center. His baserunning follies continue to happen. At some point youd think he would take a step back and actually think on the base paths.
