Well.. Guess maybe Cohen was right about Detz's b*nting

[57stratdawg]

couldn't get one down there to put us in position to tie it up.

 

[Will James]

Since Cohen knows this.... Why were we trying to do that?

 

[engie]

damn if you do...damn if you don't**

With the way Stanek made Rea look first AB, I don't like ****ing them over there anyway... But hopefully Rea makes them pay right here anyway...

 

[engie]

And the sac ****(successfully) would have been the right move there. My Rea instinct was wrong**

Assuming Rea isn't walked. I don't like trying to **** with people that can't. Especially if the coach says he can't.

Agreed... Especially someone that gave you a pretty good AB the first time up against Stanek. His 2nd inning AB would've been a double more often the not...

Detz 3 hole cuts down on Renfroe IBB's AND gets Detz hittable pitches.

This assumes they won't walk Renfroe to get to Rea -- which they will. Renfroe is so hot right now that teams are going to put him on regardless rather than let him beat them...

Detz is getting hittable pitches either way right now -- and he's starting to again be the guy I thought he was(last AB last night notwithstanding)...

 

[Will James]

My point is..... They won't walk Renfroe with Detz on 1st, which will occur more often. Renfroe won't get walked as much.

They wouldn't walk him with CT on first either(whose OB% is disappointing right now)...so that goes both ways...

I'm getting closer and closer to thinking Pirtle just might need an opportunity in the 2-hole...

I thought about that earlier today myself
