The pickoff's a little harder on the other end, eh, yadi?

Trying for the dive was the right move with crisp backing up the catch

But if he doesn't dive

Ryan doesn’t get to 2nd.

by Tackle Box on Jun 22, 2008 3:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

If Coco has an arm

He wouldn’t have got to second either.

by Evilfrog on Jun 22, 2008 3:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

So you trade a 60% chance at an out

for a similar chance of allowing the runner to second

I made it up

the point is that the out is worth more than the base, not the percentage

They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...

Especially when the advancing on the throw thing was only possible because Ryan has whells

They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...

by Valatan on Jun 22, 2008 3:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Not necessarily

by diving (which is always a risky play) you allow the runner to get to 2nd which kills the DP.

by Tackle Box on Jun 22, 2008 3:47 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

and Coco has a shitty arm.

he wouldn’t have been able to do that on Ankiel no matter how fast he is.

by Tackle Box on Jun 22, 2008 3:47 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Nice huste, Ryan

With Barton's speed

i wouldn’t be too upset if he bunted. considering the conditions

Ryan is a double-hitting machine today

now your question shifts to Miles, who has had a couple of bunt and get ons this year

they want him to bunt

But he knows he is now a homerun hitting machine.

He can't hit it high enough

to get it over the monster.

by Tackle Box on Jun 22, 2008 3:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Cough...

That was absolutely perfect situational hitting.

by mynameistyler on Jun 22, 2008 3:41 PM EDT   0 recs

Come on miles

at least a productive out.
