Executing a hit and run doesn't automatically mean a base hit. If it did then every coach should just call a hit and run every single time there is a man on base.


It was just a huge, failed gamble. Odds of it working were slim, and the DP was too much of a possibility. I would bet Coach wouldn't do it again.

How are the odds of a hit and run working slim with one of the best contact hitters on the team?

You hit and run to stay out of the double play. You don't very often see a double play on a hit and run, so to say a double play was too much of a possibility there is just dumb.

Some of the things you people say is so comical.

We may never know if he would in that exact situation. But we do know this ... Mainieri has never asked Raph to bunt in that situation in 2 years. Nor Katz and Bregman. I'm not convinced asking a player to do something he has never done before in that situation is right, either.

Whatever his decision, he would be blamed if it didn't work out. Life of a head coach, I guess.
