Cardinals (Matz) vs Brewers (Civale): 9/3/24, 6:40pm

Sal's obviously way stronger than the average person but has to be one of the weaker MLBers. Or maybe it's just lack of leverage from his height. He just almost never produces good exit velocity.

[adambr2]

Do you even have a better statistical chance of scoring more than 0 runs in a particular inning with a runner on 3rd and 1 out than a runner on 2nd with 0 out? Surely there has to be a stat nerd here who knows the answer to that. 

[adambr2]

Blue Jays blowing it. Again. 

[RightFieldCoder]

Great job. Let's walk this off.

[adambr2]

Ok. You've got a fast runner on 2nd. Just win this now, please. 

[HarryDoyle]

Please don't attempt to bunt.

[Brewcrew82]

Pinch hit Mitchell for Hoskins. Bunt 100% needs to be the play here against Helsley. 

[markedman5]

Way to go Joel! 
Let’s win this thing now!

[BCF]

Brewers pen been solid last few games

I gotta ask again, do you even have a better statistical chance of scoring a single run with runner on 3rd/1 out versus runner on 2nd/0 out?

I would imagine it depends who’s up with 1 out 

[HarryDoyle]

Schwarber hits an Adames.

[adambr2]

Blue Jays collapse complete, Phils gonna win again. Schwarber just homered for the 3rd time. 

[BCF]

I don’t like the bunt in that spot

I don't think bunt is the auto play in the situation where you have a guy on 2nd 0 outs and just need 1 run to win.  Speed and contact really stresses a defense no matter what, would rather get 3 cracks at putting the ball in play one time for a hit that wins the game.

[yourout]

Not sure I would have bunted Ortiz.

[HarryDoyle]

Turang is overmatched here. We'll need Chourio to walk this off.

[adambr2]

Reason #10000 to hate the sacrifice bunt.

Me either...Not with Turang facing a lefty right after that.

[yfinn6]

No hope for Turang in that situation. 

[Bulldogboy]

No chance Turang is coming through there.

[BCF]

Now they walk Jackson your best hitter. Stupid move 

[Bulldogboy]

And so it begins for Chourio. 

[yourout]

Might need a walk or wild one.

[Brewcrew82]

Sigh.
