Ugh we are stranding runners big time.  

Damn. That wasn't close 

Sheesh. That was a play

Wtf was that?

I'm ok with that.   Still have a runner at third... and it took a perfect throw, tag.   Marsh nearly got in there.

Leaving too many on. Hope it doesn't hurt them like game 2

Flukey play.  Not sure I blame Marsh for being aggressive, but they do have guys on 2nd and 3rd with multiple guys that are just slaughtering the baseball coming up.

Did he actually get tagged before touching the plate?

Just imagine when they start hitting better with RISP

5 guys left on base the least 2 innings. 

crap Turner. They were up 4-0 in game two as well

With Turner coming up and harper after him i wouldn’t have been aggressive. If it was jt coming up I’d be more understanding

Right... but by going, they ended with runners at first and third instead of second and third... same number of outs.   I'd rather err on being aggressive there.

 

 

Need to get the ball out of the infield though with RISP.  🤦‍♂️

 

So... despite a 4-0 lead and Wheeler dealing, we are NOT satisfied.

I was wondering the same thing. They didn't challenge it so there must not have been enough to look at.

Yes, on the chest... barely.   Was VERY close.

Going to bite them in the ass. Mark my words.

The angle from the first base side showed the tag.

Nah.  I'd rather not.  

Well, one cliche I have to say…when you get a ton of guys on base, you are going to end up stranding more guys on base and will remember the ones you don’t bring home.

Theyve definitely stranded a lot, but they’ve had relentless traffic.

This offense is amazing at scoring as long as there is no one in scoring position

Yup. If this team got to hitting with Risp more consistently they’d blow teams out. They’ve managed to win during the playoffs and really been underwhelming for the most part with runners in scoring position outside of a couple of at bats (stott GS and a few other circumstances)

It was definitely closer than I initially thought. Probably too close to overturn though

I bet it will

Hitting with RISP is a perfect analogy to red zone offense.  We are still working on those things in Philly.

League must ban it!
