southsideirish71 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:13 AM) I was sitting in the stands last night, and as soon as Gavin threw the wild pitch...I said, 'Ok, now walk Castro'. Why would you pitch to this kid, who has been very good, with the worst 3rd place hitter in baseball, in the on-deck circle. Of course he was going to get a hit. 1st base was open. What the f*** Ozzie? Well the answer to your question is the same one when people asked, "Why did we just pitch to Miguel Cabrera or any other slugger who destroys us with a base open." The magic 8 ball is a fickle cat, its wisdom however is beyond question. Your logic is not welcome here move along, nothing to see here.

I find it funny that we are worried about pitching to Starlin Castro when we have gone after much more prolific hitters late in the game.

Paint it Black Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 An intentional walk, in the what, 3rd inning? It's no question you still pitch to him. Game wasn't on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 We losat the game-time to move on. Worrying about what might have been or not have been is waste of time. I would think anyway that you don't intentioal;ly walk a guy like Castro that early in the game. Now maybe Babe Ruth but not Starlin Castro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorStSox Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hold on... Floyd throws a wild pitch so you want him to walk the bases loaded? WTF kind of logic is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
