So maybe it was a hit and run?


Nah, you don’t & can’t call a hit & run with 2 strikes

Was just a straight steal he happened to swing at

Ideally he either makes contact or walks. Terrible call with milazzo up because he isn’t good at either of those results

A 3 ball hit and run

Paul is counting on Milazzo not striking out. He expects the batter to put any strike in play.

If the pitch is a ball the batter doesn’t have to swing and takes his ball 4 and there is no chance to throw the runner out because they move up on the walk (runners were on first and second).

Calculated risk by Mainieri. It failed miserably.

Milazzo walks a lot and as a catcher he should have a great idea of where the strike zone is. He is a double play candidate so starting the runners on 3-2 with a fastball likely is not a bad play.
It just didn’t work in this instance, but it’s not a terrible call.
