The pitcher was rattled throwing balls. Rhymes is a double play master hitter. Why is maneri not having him make the pitcher throw a strike??????

Terrible defense and they give that team the game who did nothing offensively

Not mention we are swinging for the fences in a ball park that doesn't give up home runs

It was stupid. You either make the decision to play small ball or not. frick riding the fence.

We needed a good bunt laid down there in the heart of our lineup. Then a single base hit which we got from Moore who's Mr. Clutch.

Terrible call by PM.

Because 2-0 pitch will be the fattest pitch that a hitter will see most of the time. Why wouldn't you swing at a 2-0 fastball down the dick.

A walk is just as good as a hit. Rhymes is a ground ball hitter.
In that situation you make that kid throw a strike or you bunt the guy over

That's what UCLA did and they won

The hit and run worked well for UCLA with a double play
Bs. You bunt the guy over and tie that game
