What is up with all the cursing these days.....man.....so annoying .... Just using my opinion Buck, but I would bet money that the chances of scoring from 2nd with average speed are better than the 30% chance that Tejada gets a hit with 2 outs. WWOOOOO HHOOOOOO Doesn't matter we win. DD
I know there's no point in arguing this now since the game is tied...but based on where the runner was when the ball was being released, he probably would have had a near zero chance of scoring. We saw the ball was high, and even then the catcher had enough time to come back down and make the tag. If it was Bourn on base or the pitcher was coming to bat, then sure take a chance and send him. But you have a slow runner approaching 3rd and you're All-Star SS on deck. Give you're All-Star the chance to win it. And as I type that Tejada did just that!
**** YES!!!!!!! i don't want to overstate it, but that's one of the bigger regular season wins i've ever seen out of this franchise. way to ****ing go fellas.
Not that much more speed... not enough to sacrafice a potential hitter (if you go to extra innings) and you don't even know if Michaels can play first base. All moot at this point.
