To get to the earlier point of this thread the home run mentality works if the hitters are hitting them and not slumping to a .150 clip when they are not hitting them.

Jeesh Nix, don't dive or anything. Wouldn't want to get a rash on that elbow...

I'm thinking about heading out to Dodger Stadium tonight in my Thome jersey

Nix is a butcher,he's just terrible,I can't wait to see Getz again at 2B

He didn't. Beckham missed the sign.

He still got caught. No excuse not to run under the expectation that Gordon might miss.

nice

Buerhle will be a nice solid number 4 starter next year.

Okay, Buehrle. Pitch Morneau away

You didn't play baseball in HS did you?

It's not that simple. It's not a pitch he would have normally run on as he initially thought Duensing was throwing over to first. He only went after he knew the ball was going to the plate and that was WITH the expectation that Beckham would at least freaking swing.

 

 

lol

What? He got caught stealing. Scott can't just prance in to second, he needs to run flat-out. It's hit and run, not run tentatively, and hope like hell the other guy does his job

who do you like for our ace going foward?

I’m sorry, is this going to be an “I was more of an amateur player then you so, I’m holier than thou” type thing?

Umm, yeah, it is "hope like hell the other guy does his job." Thus the HIT part of "hit and run."

I could REALLY use a win out of Buehrle today.

Given CQ's injury history, I think before this year we shouldve explored his trade value a little more. Couldve gotten Crawford straight up.

Peavy, Buehrle, Floyd, Danks, Hudson looks awfully pretty.

not run tentatively

 

There is a difference in a straight steal and a hit and run. The hit and run you are looking into the batter as he is suppossed to swing and the runner is to pick the ball up. There is also the late break to not get picked off on.

I guess Ozzie thought Getz needed a day off

2-0 and lexi fakes a bunt.

 

genius

No it's a "you clearly just demonstrated you have no idea what your talking about" moment so I figured I'd ask. Cuz if you had, you'd know that a hit and run where the batter doesn't swing almost always results in the baserunner looking foolish.

Assuming Pods has a good read on the pitcher, he's going from when the pitcher hits the windup. Caution exists prior to the pitch, after that you have to hope the other guy does his thing.

If Peavy pitches to his history, Floyd and Danks progress Buerhle is the best number 4 in baseball. This is not a slam on Buerhle.

Did you actually watch the play?
