All Rhymes needed was contact.


Which he did.

Rhymes was hitting ground balls. That is perfect for a hit and run.


Rhymes has hit into an incredible amount of DP's in similar situations.

It isn't like he swings and misses a lot. So I would say the odds of it working were very good.


no, he hits into a hell of a lot of DP's.

No dipshit, I am saying to hit and run on a 2-0 pitch with the best contact hitter on the team when the pitcher has to throw a strike isn't a bad call. Had the ball been fouled off, PM would have gone right back to the bunt on the 2-1 pitch.



Sounds like you are over thinking this. Baseball 101, move the runner over, tie the game on a hit to the outfield. He gambled and lost.

Do you know why it's a good idea to put a hit and run on to stay out of DP?

I'm not over thinking anything. A fastball coming with my best contact hitter. I don't mind him taking a swing with the runner in motion which 98% of the time prevents a double play from happening.

Well certainly the gamble didn't work out.
