The only situations where you don’t walk Jones is if the next batter is named Ohtani or Judge. If nothing else, it takes pressure off your infielders.


I dunno, I might even do it then.

Setting up a force at all 3 bases is huge in that situation.

Can't belive DVH did that.

Why not walk Jones and get to Josh Pearson? I posed this question to my son during the game. I said , "they are going to pitch to Jones. I can't believe it. I guess DVH thinks he as a better shot at striking out Jones than he does Pearson."


Pearson, possibly the most clutch LSU hitter ever?

I'd take my chances with Jones every time in that scenario.

People would be surprised how often players forget number of outs, which bases are occupied. Batters forget the count. Pitchers forget the count. Umpires forget the count. It happens.


In my ball playing days which was at shortstop 99% of the time…...I always thought through the situation and what I would do if the ball was hit to me.
