As is often the case, not only does the starter, who shouldn't have been in the game, give up runs, but he doesn't even keep the bullpen out of the game.
I think he made the right play. If he steps on first, they likely don't get the runner at 2nd. Now he's in scoring position, DP not in order. Close call, but I think that's the way most first basemen play it.
I completely don't understand Baldelli in this game. You have a dozen relievers out there. Gibson has NOTHING. You could really, really use a win. You're already playing with a lineup that is almost certainly gonna struggle to score. You can't let Gibson keep making this game harder.
stop. That decision was made by the bench before the ball was hit. They were positioned to try for 2. Not to mention, there's no guarantee they even get Turner at home, and there's no way for Schoop to know they won't get 2.
