WTF? What is UP with our baserunning?

We need some t-ball coaches or something, because we are missing some serious fundamentals.

I'd rather have a guy try to stretch a double with 2 outs, than a dumbass trying to tag to 3rd with 1 out.

Those two plays were of equal stupidity. One play being dumber than the other, does not make either palatable.

I disagree. One guy taking a chance to get into scoring position with 2 outs and a guy already in scoring position taking a chance to get to 3rd with 1 out is different, too me anyway.

I'll sum it up by paraphrasing Bob Davis' radio call:

“Line down the right field line, it is…FAIR! Let’s see if he can get to second, the throw is gonna be close….and he is….out by a wide margin.”

Callaspo ran the bases as poorly as Bob Davis follows the game.

Top 4th

Choo flies out to right
DeRosa grounds out to shortstop
Francisco walks
LaPorta singles to center, Francisco scores, LaPorta to second on the throw home
Shoppach flies out to center

1 run, 1 hit

Bottom 4th

Butler strikes out (looking)
Guillen singles to left
Jacobs strikes out (swinging)
Teahen flies out to left

0 runs, 1 hit

"Ball is hit to right..." *Crowd holds their collective breath.... and collectively sighs after Guillen barely avoids falling on his ass making a routine catch.*

Guillen or Jacobs must be gone for next year, neither should be playing the field.

[Nightfyre]

He's not actually going to run. They just wanted to get him dirty.... Well shit.

[VonneMarie]

Why the **** did he hesitate? You ****ing dumbass!!!!! You ****!

[VonneMarie]

Dumbest ****ing team ever!

I put Callaspo on Koontz. He should haveheld him.

That was ridiculous. It must be difficult comprehending this defense of you're a pitcher.

Let's see. If I induce a two out pop up to short RCF, I can count on my RF waiting for my CF to put in max effort, who will however, miss the catch. My RF, will allow the ball to get past him by just a few steps, whereby the runner at 1st, who will take off with pitch, will round 3rd as my RF, throws the ball to the cutoff man at 2b, who seems to not understand English, or nobody tells him to throw home, so when he finally realizes that the runner isn't breaking stride, throws too late to the plate.

Our pitching staff probably all have daily appointments with Greinke's shrink.
