If they get back in this one its on RR. You don't let the pitcher make the decision on staying in the game. Lets hope Saito can get a dp and we can get out of here.
Yeah its not going to be Kemp or Reyes. The only way a guy on a non contender seems to win is if their is no worthy candidate on a division winner or if a player is head and shoulders above everyone else. Clearly that is not the case this year.
A guy who can hit a little and play outfield, 2nd, 3rd and SS is very valuable. Depends how much he would cost but I'd love for him to replace CC or Wilson.
Once the ball got by him he is never going to stop a runner(even a slow one) from getting to 2nd. He did what all outfielders do in that case....you make sure not to misplay the ball into a triple. You are making something out of nothing.
So RR didn't want to waste a pinch hitter there? Why not let Yo try to hit one out if you are going to go that route? Or Wolf? Come on RR.......use your head.
If you are going to have the squeeze on why wasn't the guy at first running? That would have got the job done as well.....there is no advantage to not sending both runners. Stupid
