re: Milazzo cost us in both phases yesterday

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

Was just a straight steal he happened to swing at

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.
