Cuz the risk is not worth the extra base when you're trailing by 3 runs. Just ran themselves out of a 2 on and 1 out situation. 

Witt Jr. Has stolen 20 out of 24 bases before that try and was actually safe until he overslid the bag. Rutschman has struggled to throw out runners this year and it took a pitch out and he still was safe until he overslid the bag.

Personally I don't think they should start playing matchups offensively until the 7th inning unless it's a key situation and the platoon difference was huge and you gain a defensive advantage. And certainly not in a 4-1 game. 

I agree with that, I do think it's too early to play matchups because McKenna will now have at least 1 or 2 PAs vs RHPs.  But I was specifically responding to a post that said "you can't tell me that McKenna is a better matchup than O'Hearn even against a lefty".     So I completely stand by what I said as a valid response to that post.

Did the throw beat Witt?  Or did we catch a break because Witt over-slid the base and came off?  The throw was to the third base side of the bag.

You've really seen him be good at it?

Shouldn't have overslid the bag then.

He's got a 4-1 lead and as at 72 pitches. I think it was too early. Maybe you don't let him face the tie run at the plate, but you got to let him see if he can get the next guy.

Hey, Tony. I don't see the button that allows me to upvote comments, but I am signed in.

I was just responding more towards the entire situation vs your accurate stat post.

I feel they wanted Irvin to leave with some confidence after his atrocious start to the season.

I was about to speculate the same thing, but still think it was a bad move.

Did I say he made all the wrong moves?  Or that some of his moves are frustrating?  And even head scratching.  Besides,  even with the good record, that doesn't mean management or the front office is perfect and doesn't make mistakes.   Even the best teams should constantly be trying to get better and improve by making smarter decisions and replacing non-performing players. 

Write this post about all 30 managers in the MLB right now, because not a single one doesn't make fans frustrated. Ever....Ever. It's never been done in the history of baseball. It's really easy for us to manage from the comfort of our couches.

I'm not sure you get baseball. lol Why would he not try and get in scoring position with two outs? 

It was one out.

I think so.

Hyde manages every game like it’s a playoff game. This bullpen will never be rested.

Mateo is so lost right now.
