You don't know that. And maybe they would have only scored once. That completely changes the way we would play the bottom of the 9th.

I understand we had very little timely hitting this weekend. But you can't say our defense in the OF was good this weekend either.

Yes I do know that.
First off the man that scored on the triple would have gotten to third given that the ball was well placed out in right center field. Cotton then balked. He would have scored on that.

If you want to say he wouldn't have gotten to third on the single to right center and he was on second at the time of the balk, that's fine. He would have moved to third base on the balk. The guy that was then batting hit a fly ball to the outfield that would have been a sac fly had there been a man on third.

The run would have scored regardless of whether that was a single or a triple. Now, I will give you that they probably only would have scored 1, but they undoubtedly would have scored a run that inning.

No, the outfield play was not very good.
