Don't make it sound like that dude was easy to hit off of. He has a .81 ERA for a reason. The pitch was very well located and had a ton of sink on it. He is a ground ball pitcher. Unfortunately the ground ball went right at someone and their second baseman made a very good play to turn the DP.
No im not saying he was easy to hit off of, which is why I didnt say he served him up a tailor-made fastball that should have been smoked to right field. Im only criticizing Rhymes' approach. It's a hit and run, he should be looking for a pitch to put in play to the right side and he got one, a sinker like you said, which should have been even more favorable for him to get the job done. He pulled it, which means his approach wasnt to hit the other way, which it should have been. He didnt execute.

Well he really shouldn't be "looking" for anything. He's swinging regardless. The only thing he should be looking for is contact.

Obviously he would like the at bat back I'm sure. But give some credit where credit due. Their second baseman made a very difficult turn on that ball to actually turn the DP. If either one of those guys is safe we aren't even discussing this because we tie the game in the 9th inning. It was a nice defensive play.
