I'm away from the TV. Is the bad baserunning on Pence for not scoring?But man that was terrible baserunning.
Oh geez, Pence is having (very) short term memory loss. He stepped on second base as sure as a Brogan on a cockroach and then forgot that he did.Holy horrendous base running
He hesitated going around second on the shot to right, then he thought he missed the bag, so he went back to tag it and then only got to third on a double.I'm away from the TV. Is the bad baserunning on Pence for not scoring?
Pence thought he missed the bag about a third of the way between second and third and went back to it. He wound up on third when he should have scored easily.I'm away from the TV. Is the bad baserunning on Pence for not scoring?
A tall, caffeinated, pirate on meth.Hunter Pence is like a caffeinated pirate
Heard one on the radio today: He's the guy you expect to find behind those paintings where the eyes follow you across the roomHunter Pence is like a caffeinated pirate
Cueto versus Lester. It should be a close one.I'm calling it. The Cubs do some Cubs shit in game 5 and the Giants advance.
Bunt on Lester, make him throw the ball to basesCueto versus Lester. It should be a close one.
The very same front office that Moneyball took a swipe at when Lewis portrayed Beane as picking Sabean off on a trade. Since Moneyball, the good face Giants front office has three world championships, playing in front of sold out crowds in one of the best ballparks in the MLB while the A's have simply been happy to make it into the playoffs while playing in a multi-use concrete piece of crap in front of small crowds.Didn't know Tidrow was in the Giants front office..................
And run on him.Bunt on Lester, make him throw the ball to bases
They'll be tight as a drum if they have to play a Game 5. Of course, He Who Invented Baseball will find an incredible way to keep them loose.I'm calling it. The Cubs do some Cubs shit in game 5 and the Giants advance.
But it has nice grass, except for those unsightly chalklines every 5 yards when football season starts...,while the A's have simply been happy to make it into the playoffs while playing in a multi-use concrete piece of crap in front of small crowds.
A great front office, Righetti and Bochy adds up to 3 WS titles. And yes, it's a great ballpark, a jewel really; that shithole in Oakland, not so much.The very same front office that Moneyball took a swipe at when Lewis portrayed Beane as picking Sabean off on a trade.

I don't understand why teams don't bunt and run on him. It makes no sense to me. Shit, just take off to second once he gets into his set.Bunt on Lester, make him throw the ball to bases
Good call, I don't think he blinksHeard one on the radio today: He's the guy you expect to find behind those paintings where the eyes follow you across the room
Absolutely. Also, when players are tight and they stop doing all the little things you gotta look towards the manager.So is that a fundamental error by the Cubs?
Unless it's the Red SoxAbsolutely. Also, when players are tight and they stop doing all the little things you gotta look towards the manager.
I would not expect such an error from a team being guided by a Historical Mind.So is that a fundamental error by the Cubs?
And how many posts asking why Moore was still in there?If a Red Sox pitcher had started an inning against the top of the other team's order by throwing seven consecutive balls ... how many runs would the other team score?
is there some "unwritten rule" BS as to why teams won't bunt like that? maybe we should ask the genius Joe MaddonI don't understand why teams don't bunt and run on him. It makes no sense to me. Shit, just take off to second once he gets into his set.
I'd be asking why he is still in there for this atbat.And how many posts asking why Moore was still in there?
I'm guessing for Russell and Heyward, then the pen for BaezAnd how many posts asking why Moore was still in there?
Can't be. I seriously don't get it--the dude cannot throw the ball overhand to a base. Bunt, run, bunt, run.is there some "unwritten rule" BS as to why teams won't bunt like that? maybe we should ask the genius Joe Maddon
While it was too harsh, that FO also went on to give Barry Zito a small fortune following a 3-year trend of crashing peripherals.The very same front office that Moneyball took a swipe at when Lewis portrayed Beane as picking Sabean off on a trade.

They're dead.So this is not nearly Giants bullpen proof
but what would I know.I'd be asking why he is still in there for this atbat.
