he does that in the 1st inning and they still score a run... maybe you didn't see the stat where Victor Martinez has struck out 39 times all year...let's not even mention his .975 OPS so runners on 2nd and 3rd...pitching a 3-1 count to a guy who doesn't strike out what's the best case scenario? He grounds out to 2nd base and a run scores? he pops out? Hm, seems pretty un****ing likely with this guy. Or...you do the smart move, put him on 1st, and start a new count with a less accomplished ML hitter where the best defense in baseball now has a chance to get a DP and get out of the inning without any damage. This is baseball 101. 101. It's not even baseball 102. |

I'm just going to assume our resident moron Pete doesn't realize how ridiculously good Victor Martinez has been at hitting this year.

We weren't walking Bonds, but it was still the correct decision. Runners on 2nd and 3rd 1 out, and arguably the best hitter in the league at the plate. I don't give a damn if its the 1st inning, that part should not matter.

It's one thing when the starting pitching is sterling and the bats suck. It's another when they are both sucking in concert. This is a ****ing disaster
