That's basic baseball.

It's also basic baseball you shouldn't steal 3rd with a left handed hitter up with 1 out in a fairly close game.

I didn't say that. I never said the absolutes you just used.

I'm not trying to put words in your mouth.

Your exact words were "There is virtually no point" and "There is no reason".

Regardless, my point is that there is big difference between having a guy at 3rd with 1 out and a guy at 2nd with 1 out.

Mitchell up, 2 outs...

Strike, 0-1...
High, 1-1...
Outside, 2-1...
Low and inside, 3-1...
Strike, 3-2...
Mitchell thought that was ball 4...
High, walk, runner on 1st, 2 outs...

I wouldn't call that basic baseball.

Nevertheless, I agree that we shouldn't have done it.

Now listen here, you Ole Fart!

Like I said, I didn't use the absolute.

"There is no reason".

Absolute but right after that I explained the reason. I guess I should of said "no reasonING (behind it)" as the risk far, far outweighs the advantage in the situation.

And I explained that. My point was the risk was too great making it a dumb decision.

While I didn't disagree with Mitchell going there, I think it's time to give up running on this guy.

Amen to that!
