vs. ATHLETICS, 5/07 DH Gm.1

If worst comes to worse, do we burn Worley today?

I think that's kind of a hindsight call...wouldn't really expect the runner on 1st to tag there, and it was a really close play at 3rd

He didn't do a good job of setting himself up for throw, can't assume anything.

Rickard in French means miss the cutoff man.

Who starts on Wednesday?

Only if he is a warlock.

He also did a terrible job of setting up for the throw. No momentum at all behind it .

Right. Really poor footwork. It took him like 3 steps to unload the ball after catching it because his feet were so poorly positioned. An earlier release would've nailed him.

[scOtt]

Thought Wieters would never get there. Yikes!

That's what I'm wondering. Who else is our long man in this 1st game. TJ is gone.

Runner on 1st is always gonna tag if throw is going to 3rd.

With all due respect, if you throw form RF to 3rd base you ALWAYS expect the runner to advance. Thats why you throw to the cut off man.

Maybe the throw was a bit high, but if you throw directly to the cut off man, chances are you wont get either out.

[capyy]

Wright isn't pitching that bad. Some unlucky hits and not getting much help from defense. Hits against the shifts, bunt single.

Pitch count isn't that high.

[Malike]

Rich Hill is a force of nature. Unstoppable.

Nobody would care if he got the out at 3rd. As it stands he missed getting the out by a split second and everyone has a vendetta against Rickard.

I agree. You'd give up 3B to keep the runner at 1st. Kind of a gray area to me. He almost had him at 3rd. Quicker release...

We probably would burn McFarland first
