    Nitpic: the Twins left 10 runners on base, not 22. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/tigers-vs-twins/2020/09/06/631254#game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=box,game=631254

    Personally, I would not be sad to see a different every day left fielder next year. Just too many really, really indefensible decisions. Poor day from the bullpen, too, but none of that was intentional. Running through a stop sign, and not knowing the ground rules and giving up on a ball in play...those are intentional. Pretty bad loss, all in all.
  3. USAFChief
    I agree, except you can't excuse Rosario's non-playing of a ball in play, just because of subsequent events. Later being "moot" is unkown and irrelevant at the time.
  4. USAFChief
    They're not playing left field for the Minnesota Twins. Besides which, you NEVER assume, play it out.
  5. USAFChief
    1.) Never assume. Play it out. 2.) It didn't go out of play. Obviously. 3.) hits afterwards make zero difference to the play at the time.

    How the (((( does Eddie not know the ground rules?
  7. USAFChief
    Nice hustle, Rosario. I'm so ******* done with Eddie.
  8. USAFChief
    Who didn't see that coming?
  9. USAFChief
    Well, shucks.
  10. USAFChief
    welp. Another 4 run inning, please
  11. USAFChief
    Seriously??
  12. USAFChief
    meanwhile, a hearty "THANKS!" to Lloyd McClendan and the DayTwah Tigers for putting the rule 5 meat into a tie game and leaving him in there for 4 runs.
  13. USAFChief
    29 pitches from Garcia to retire 1 hitter.
  14. USAFChief
    First...nice job Rook! Second...FFS Eddie.
  15. USAFChief
    Arraez!
  16. USAFChief
    Heh. Who had 1-9-5 put out on their Twingo card? Yeah, me either. Helluva throw, and nice tag too.
  17. USAFChief
    I wouldn't let Hill face Schoop and Cabrera.
  18. USAFChief
    Why an 0-2 fastball in the zone?
  19. USAFChief
    Took 1 pitch for Hill to be back in trouble.
  20. USAFChief
    There we go. Dont stop now, boys.
  21. USAFChief
    Mize's WHIP entering this game: nearly 1.7.
  22. USAFChief
    If Astudillo just catches the throw hes out by plenty.
  23. USAFChief
    Let's get some early run support for a change. Half a dozen or so.
  24. USAFChief
    I'm pretty confident a ground ball to the left side wasn't Buxton's goal in that AB. He beat it out, great, but that's a rarity. His goal, I'm sure, was a line drive single to the OF. Failing that...put the ball in play.
  25. USAFChief
    I would almost never pay any attention to "run expectancy." No two situations are equal, and using a composite average to evaluate specific situations doesn't appeal to me. In this specific situation, I was glad to get the game tied over 1st and 2nd, 1 out, no runs in, and the 2nd half of the lineup due up against a pitcher throwing well. I dont think there was much chance of the two runners advancing to 2nd and 3rd, either. The most likely outcome is Cave keeps running and is tagged out on a slide at home. Even if he pulls up, the catcher can just run him back to third, make one throw, and no other runner will risk advancing. BTW, its not by accident or mistake that Cave WAS running on that play. You teach runners in that situation to go on a ground ball, forcing the defense to make a decision. Worst case scenario is Cave retreats to 3rd, and they turn a DP anyway.
