re: One too many base running mistakes tonight

Yep. Especially with the pitching situations they had to make the most of their chances to put runs on the board. Dropping game one sucks but hey the best is yet to come and they only squeezed by their weakest pitching of the series. I Think they are quite ok.

Kramer's delayed steal was an obvious mistake.

The game was over when Mainieri didn't pull Reynolds after the initial walk period. Smith needed to get to second because he was the tying run.

It was a ball in the dirt read. He executed it horribly wrong. You are supposed to run as soon as you read that the ball will hit the dirt...before it actually happens.

Bush not covering a base, on the foul ball out to Kramer was a mental mistake.

Unless Smith was waved to second, it was a mistake. I call it a mistake because the whole play was in front of the runner, which usually creates shorter distances for the throw from the outfield. Also, if I remember we were down 4-2, and while the run was important, we still needed two to tie. There was only one out and that put out made it much more difficult. BTW, Smith looked safe to me. The tag looked high on the chest while his hand was on the base.

He overslid the bag and was also tagged, so regardless of replay, he is out

Smith was trying to get into scoring position with 1 out in a 1 run game. It's an incredibly important base, and he was "out" by an incredibly slim margin after the center fielder took a great route to the ball and made a perfect throw.
The reward absolutely justified the risk.

You are right.
It took an absolutely perfect throw to get him, and he was still probably safe.
People just like to see results and judge things off of that.

You think pitching on Friday and Tuesday is having 4 days rest, so you're an absolute fricking moron and I wouldn't expect you to understand.

This is 100% correct. The ball was very deep in the gap and it took an absolute perfect dime of a throw to NOT even get Smith out.
It's amazing how dumb our fans are.

All to familiar with this team, Kramer can make some great plays, but he can be so frickin stupid at other times, seems like he has no situational awareness at times, that stuff kills you in games like this.
Walking 3 batters doesn't help any, we got our back against the wall now.I hope they can respond

His hit made it 4-3, so no were not down by 2. He was the tying run. He was trying to get in scoring position with two chances to drive him in and tie the game.

I didn't mind the attempt to get to second base by Smith, it took a perfect throw and still it looked like he could have been or was safe. He would have been the tying run.
The biggest mistake tonight was not making the pitching change was one batter way too late. Reynolds gave you three great innings. As soon as he walked that second batter I would have immediately pulled the plug, it was obvious there were control issues. He did have some nice pitches that didn't go his way unfortunately but you still got what you needed out of RR.
You then bring in Bush right out with a bases loaded and a tighter strike zone. As a result we ended up giving them one too many runs that was the difference

I agree, the Smith play was the right play, you dont walk 3 batters you probly don't loose. Krob running on that ball in front the catcher was stupid. No way he was gonna be safe I'm not hating on Kramer just seems like these guys make fundamental errors way to often in close games we shoulda won 3-2, No we got our backs against the wall,

Another thing people are over looking is Kramers awful throw home on the foul pop out. Had absolutely no chance in making a play on the kid going home and it allowed the runner on first to go to second which allowed him to score on the ground rule double. Without that awful I'll-advised throw home they only score two that inning.

Kramer's steal had no chance. If you are going to steal, don't hesitate. What a bonehead play.
Posted on 6/27/17 at 7:48 am to BTRDD
It wasn't a steal. He was reading the ball in the dirt and trying to advance on what would have been a wild pitch. Problem is that the catcher caught the ball and Kramer had no chance. Horrible read and not a good decision being down by two at the time of the play.
