Ok, rephrase. Had Cresse grounded into somthng akin to what Raph did, runner on third, with two down. Then an out. What reaction would the rant have been?

Percentages say ss covers 2b when lhb at plate. Who was your coach?

I'm not reading that shite. Tell me why you disagree? The pitcher was no where near the zone. A hit and run risks the chance of raph being forced to swing at a bad pitch and either hit the ball in the air, or swing through it and get Katz thrown out.

A runner on second is in scoring position, a runner on first isn't. Also, was there a runner on first? I don't remember. If not, no risk of a DP.

Stanford, bottom of the 9th, tied at five with runners on 1st and 2nd Skip allows a 1-12 Cresse to swing away with no one out. Where were the skip haters???
So much fail with this.
1. Game was tied
2. 1 out
3. RISP
4. Cresse is a true power hitter and probably never bunted in his life.
5. No one bunts the leading RBI guy with one out and RISP

What would Skip do? 2-0, infield drawn in, the defending ncaa batting champ at the plate........... Hindsight is perfect, I agree with the green light

I did, between pages 11 and 25.
But a 2-0 count with a contact hitter at the plate and an opportunity for runners at the corners and no outs is why you choose the hit and run over the bunt with one out and runner on second.

6. That was Rosenblatt
7. The ball could still leave TDA with those bats.

And we played gorilla ball...no one bunted

Last night? Probably what most coaches would have done and what coach PM started to do...

Right call for the situation...just really bad luck. You have to expect a strike thrown in that situation from a pitcher who throws strikes.. Only reason he was 2-0 in the count was just missing painting the plate with first 2 pitches.

I can say that if Skip would have called a hit & run and Rhymes hit a sharp ground ball to 3B, he would not have thought that he failed.

The problem with the hit and run is that there is a much higher chance of something going wrong.
Posted on 6/17/13 at 6:00 pm to RATeamWannabe
There were no outs when Cresse was up.
The other poster should be asking why he didn't bunt Fontenot with a runner on first and nobody out. And Skip's answer was Fontenot could have hit a ball in the gap and won it there.

Good gamble. Didn't work out. That's just baseball.
I like the hit and run there with Raph up and 2-0 count.

Wow just wow. He wasn't even close on the first 2 to rhymes and Katz hit one that a lefty would have been jumping out of the way of.
Why not trust your best contact hitter to work the count? Maybe he draws a walk. Maybe had the bunt still been on he would have missed outside again. As a guy who used to pitch a hitter showing bunt sometimes gets you out of rhythm.

Premise was based on the situation. Get your shite right.
Posted on 6/17/13 at 6:02 pm to UpToPar
There is a higher risk/reward, for sure. The situation made it a possibility. It didn't work. Anyone saying its a terrible decision and never should have been considered is only looking at the play in hindsight and/or has no idea how baseball is played.
