Just got home. Very disappointed in our coaches/third base coach in particular. By my account cost us minimum of three runs. Stealing second with Madrigal up and 2-2 count. Grenier thrown out on ball three. Then next pitch a ball.....Double steal with pitcher in trouble with no outs and two on?......Larnach sliding in to first, ball dropped and Grenier still standing on third?. It is easy to armchair in baseball. Understood. I have said several times, our coaching staff is not having a good year at all. Todays decisions cost us big time. Even on defense on bunt coverage the decision to leave Armstrong covering third on a bunt thinking we could throw out the lead runner at third? Really? ASU hitter bunts down the third baseline far enough so runner is easily safe at first while third baseman is covering third? Not sure who is making the calls but ouch! Nathan Burns was the best looking pitcher today. Let him try to start next Saturday and give Fehmel a rest. Madrigal is a stud. Gretler improving his hitting at the right time of the year. Gambrell is still the key to how deep we go. Mulholland can't be a factor if he doesn't pitch. Still would like to see him get a start. Feel free to disagree. Have to call it like I see it. judging by Casey's reaction when Grenier was thrown out at 2nd, Nick missed a hit and run sign. that would make more sense. I agree with you a steal in that situation would be a major mistake. yesterday just wasn't our day. "the sun doesn't shine on the same dog's ass everyday"- Jim "Catfish "Hunter. cleaning up the baserunning, finding some timely hitting, getting some mojo from the bullpen... This could be a better than good team if everything pulls together. Getting a national seed is important but getting hot at the right time can make the seeding irrelevant. |
