If there was a pitcher on our staff who would do something like that, it's John Lackey. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l8HHPrQuj08/UFHoFiGMxWI/AAAAAAAAC4U/CZP4l20VFx0/s1600/john-lackey.gif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find one at the moment. I didn't see it on TV, I was driving with the game on the radio. It just made me angry cause it was the top of the 9th inning with 2 outs, Phillies down by 4 runs and the guy stole home plate. They just didn't want him to get the shutout Edited May 29, 2016 by BowlCity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just didn't want him to get the shutout The shift was on so Galvis was halfway down the line. Howard swung at a pitch in the dirt. Montero looked him back (kind of), there was no one at third defensively, and threw to first. Valves, who was maybe 40% of the way home, broke for home and beat Rizzo's throw but not by much. It was a poor percentage play and had no effect on their probability of winning even with success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can make my decision on the play regardless of the sport. :D Edited May 29, 2016 by troutman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutman Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I just watched it, It wasn't that close. Plus the guy said it was more of a sacrifice which I would agree with. Don't let a rally start especially late in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let a rally start especially late in the game. The guy's run was meaningless, and even an infinitesimal chance of being out was a bad percentage play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just didn't want him to get the shutout even though I wanted the shutout, I wouldn't respect any ballplayer who laid down to give some other team an accomplishment. The players respect each other for busting ass, too. It's your job to break up a nono or a shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a smart baseball play (though it was fairly low risk.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hammel left after 2 innings...issue with his knee. Hope it's nothing serious. Did he injure himself on the mound? Grabbed his leg in pain while throwing warmups before the 3rd inning. They're saying it's a hamstring cramp, but they'll check it out more later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know we're going to lose to a team like yours and we need someone who can skull-f-ck the Mets. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
