uhhh, successful sac bunt? I know you hate 'em, but there are times when they're necessary--very few times, mind you, but times nonetheless
posted by Gardens35Good 2-1 ballgame, tough loss.
Hand has been spectacular this season, but an all-star closer can not give up a home run in the 9th inning with a one run lead...he just can't.

They may be successful, but I’ll argue till I’m dead they are still the wrong play. And I’ll have math and 100+ years of data on my side to back me up.
Giving the other team a free out is just never going to be the right move. Ever.

Lol, I see where your passion lies, but I'll take a MLB coaches decision to sac over yours every time. Every. Single. Time.

Only if they are “new school”. I mean we are talking about guys who are so stubborn they thought the fastest guy had to lead off for 150 years. They hate the new numbers game of baseball, because it shows most of them are idiots in certain respects. Bunting being chief among them.

I just looked up the Phillies prospects. Gross. Especially if Brohm is off the table as reported.
11 innings in a row with no runs
B4 tied

I'm not a metrics guy, given my general disdain (not every instance) for PFF, but you're 100% correct and I'd consider myself pretty old school.
Bieber dealing, so far....
How can the ball clearly come off the knob of the bat, yet still be a hbp? Fix the rules
Bieber doing really well. Will he go the distance?
Meanwhile, the offense has now scored 2 runs in the last 18 innings.

Not many old school left. Even guys if guess old school are huge on the analytics and the new waves of thinking
And the Tribe has now scored 3 runs in the last two innings!
Bieber comes out for the 9th with a 4-0 lead.
Wow!
One hit CG shutout.

Hell yea Biebs! 1 hit. Will us young folk ever see a no hitter for the Tribe?
Shane Bieber- 9 innings 1 hit 10 K's 1 walk
Bieber Fever
Down with The Biebs
Party at George Bell's
Go Tribe
Bieber going to be the next in line for Tribe to receive CYA votes, I think.

If it’s any consolation, the teams were not good for at least the last 4 of them.

Quite surprised they haven't had one with the past talent they've had. Last night would've been fitting since the last one (Barker's perfect game) was tossed against the Blue Jays.
thought I'd dust this guy off
