Oh come on...you don't give up outs this early in a game...that just does not make sense when the guy is already in scoring position.

At third with one out. Scores on a SF.

You still don't give up outs to try to score a single run this early in a game. Late in a close game in a situation where your opponent may simply not have enough outs left in a game to come back from your one run is when you give up outs like that. Early in games, you want to give yourself the chance to rally and outs kill rallies.

Runs have been scarce in this series though. Sometimes managers will play smallball earlier if they expect a low-scoring game.

Let's forget it and have YOTN ban him if we win.

I assume you are all listening to this discussion on Buch. In other words as I have said for a long time now...they had f***ed up Buchs return five ways from Sunday way back in the period right after June 8th and here we are...late August and Schill questioning whether Buch can even be a factor in the post season at this rate.

Without Clay, hypothetically I hope, I'd have to pick Lackey as the guy for a do or die game.

 

Lester has been lights out his last two. If he has one more good one vs the White Sox, which he should have, I'll agree with Schilling.

In all fairness, I doubt anyone really takes Schilling seriously anymore. If they ever did

I want to see Lackey purely because him being the first choice for such a game would be unthinkable little more than a year ago.

No way to justify bunting there....Schill won't even credit Farrell with having done it because it is such a bad idea instead insisting that Vic did it own his own...that might in fact be right...why don't you do it early in games???? You just saw why. All it takes is one base runner and a dinger and the game is tied just like that. You don't kill the chance to rally early in games....no game situation that makes that work unless you can dream up bringing back Sandy Kolfax to face Bob Gibson in a game for all the marbles. Neither team might score a run in eighteen innings in that game!

I wasn't referring to his pitching.

 

I think he adds a lot. Would feel better if he worked for the MLB Network rather than ESPNFL.

What does the FL stand for?

He's always had a reputation for being kind of a loudmouth. There are few former players I take seriously as analysts. Most of them are boring or criminally stupid.
