GDT 6/24/14 TWINS @ ANGELS

[Inside Pitch]

huh?  cron's baserunning is typical of every angel player the last 5 years not named trout.  it has nothing to do with disar.

 

Good lord man, situations like that the third base coach is telling the baserunners what to do before the ball is even hit.   Preston Gomez used to have different signals unique to every player, when he had two men on he would go through two full sets on signs to make sure everyone was on the same page..

 

If Disar isn't managing the basepaths then why have a 3B coach?

There is almost no value with 2 outs to risk a runner advancing to 3rd and to compile of the mistake you have your best hitter coming to the plate. I don't know why there is a giant hole in their baseball fundamentals but it seems never to get filled with knowledge.

 

This isn't little league, you don't send runners simply because you think they can't make two plays in a row: a catch and a throw and tag.

 

Yeah, that's a play you have to be 110% sure you're gonna be safe to even begin to justify.

 

And given that it wasn't a deep flyball and it's CJ Cron running, well....

[Blarg]

Not only that, EVERYONE KNOWS you NEVER make the 3rd out of the inning at 3rd base.

 

Well, that is a little league saying.

[Itchynut]

WHY DID THEY JUST GIVE HIM THE BASE!!!

[martinpa25]

OMG a closer that actually closes!! Hooray LTBU

it also increases the risk that the guy at third gets thrown out before the guy crosses the plate.  

[worldofx]

Thank Trout for Joe Smith.

[Itchynut]

Constantly ahead of hitters....good things happen.

[bloodbrother]

Ok, stop tinkering witht hings and leave Smith as the closer. He was fine when he had the gig earlier and he got the job done today. Just stick with him

[moccasin]

Nice! Not pretty but still a win.

[Lou]

4 back

[Bruce Nye]

[tdawg87]

CJ picks up the win! Good job Ceej!

[Sherlock31]

Light that baby up!

 

and you know what? CJ picks up a win...........

[CaliAngel]

I almost got transported telepathically to a different time and place after it appeared we would have a 1-2-3 ninth.

 

Thank god with that basehit our closer brought me back to reality.

 

VICTORY!!

[Jason]

A 13 pitch 3 out save. What a concept

Wilson gets the win! He really earned it.

so disar said no matter where the ball is hit tag and go to 3rd?

[Docwaukee]

[JAHV76]

Phew. That was a nail bitter.

[AngelArcher]

Angels with the win!!!! Smith with a save. All is right.

[Docwaukee]

[CaliAngel]

CJ had 6 0-2 counts

 

The key is to not throw a salami after you have that count.
