I have no problem sending ross in that situation. Bobby tried to get something going with this dead offense. Why is nobody concerned with Sweeny watching a 3rd strike down the middle to get Ross thrown out?

They're not carrying 13 pitchers right now.

 

True but that just happened and they have not pulled in the extra bench players to have a "full" compliment of bench players right??? Don't they have the same number of bench guys at least today that they had when they had the 13?

Nope.

 

They have Youk, Repko, Shoppach and Spears in the bench. They were only carrying three bench players when they were carrying 13 pitchers.

 

There was just no need to substitute Ross in that situation. He's not as slow as it's being said here. It was simply a perfect throw with a FB right down broadway that Sweeney should have caught up to.

Maybe we are assuming the hit and run was on and it was not....don't know which one to think more likely...Sweeney missed the hit and run sign...Ross on a straight steal?????

Shields will be out for the 9th. Maddon isn't stupid.
Oh, he's stupid. The only question is whether he is that stupid. Taking him out would be very stupid.

Did you not realize that Sweeny struck out?

Saw Sweeney strike out but I thought it looked like a pretty feeble effort...not sure what he was doing there.

I fear this is true.

 

f***.

 

Come on guys. Give Albers a chance. He is good enough to be our next closer.

 

Seriously though, don't give up any runs, Matt.

Reguardless of the situation, Sweeny needs to swing the bat on anything close. Not only to prevent the K but protect the runner trying to advance. It was poorly executed and as a result we get burned out of an inning.
