So he watched a ball that almost left the yard, and he doesn't even hesitate in leaving Gordon in there. Gets lucky it's not 6-5 with a man at 2nd. And this after the bone headed play by Gordon to get him into this mess. None of that mattered to Joe.
If it was so clear, then could you please explain to me why the runner felt compelled to run back to first base?
We are winning games by smoke and mirrors, let's be brutally honest here. A grand slam by Caratini (is that the first of his career?). Flimsy starters that by some miracle are getting through their starts without totally blowing up. This house of cards will eventually come tumbling down. We need reinforcements to get here quickly. We could really start to see a rough patch starting this Friday and continuing on with our division rivals with the Rangers and Mariners series right around the corner.
