Ells is fast enough why not a straight steal instead of a sacrifice?
I was thinking the same thing. If he steals second, then try sacrificing him to 3rd.

This. Ellsbury should be trying to steal here, if he gets to 2nd, then bunt. At least IMO.

Farrell has shown his true weakness as a manager tonight: Handling the running game.

 

A700 has been talking about this for a while. The amount of base running mistakes his teams make is ridiculous.

What kills me is that you do see umps get on the 3rd base side of the plate to make that call. Umps should be as responsible for being in position as players...maybe even more so.

He sucked at it while with the Blue Jays too. His blunders have actually been mild compared to the s*** show he ran with the Jays.

No dip s***, The fact that he f***ed up put us in the position to get screwed. Umpires blow calls all the time.

So? IT SHOULDN'T MATTER. Then umpire f***ed us just as much as Nava and it shouldn't be fine just becasue "umpires blow calls all the time".

If he straight steals with Ellsbury and THEN sacrifices Vic, that groundout probably scores the run. Oh well, all up to Papi now.

Agreed but in all honesty there have been many base running mistakes before tonight. The combination of Farrell in the dugout and Bird Brain in the 3rd base coaching box is deadly.

f*** me. I f***ing hate losing to the Rays, especially due to a mental mistake and a terrible f***ing call by an ump. So f***ing frustrating.
