2014 MLB Postseason Thread

If the Royals score, was the Athletics bunt stupid since they need more runs ?

Nope. If you're in extras, especially in the playoffs, you play for the run and hope it's enough.

The answer we were looking for is, yes, it was.

Lol if they don't get that run this game would be over? You aren't making sense but I guess that's par for the course.

 

[elcheato]

Oh boy, personal insult? I've ruffled some feathers.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Is that really anything different than what you've been saying?

 

[elcheato]

Since I'm not making sense per usual I'll head out.

The odds of Hosmer getting to second on a sacrifice bunt is much better than the odds of him getting to second otherwise. That's the point! Having multiple base runners doesn't matter if you're playing for ONE run. The only thing that matters is getting that lead guy to home.

Like I wouldn't bunt in the first inning or anything. But if you need a run, it's smart.

but it lead to royals giving an out which in turn basically gave kansas only 2 chances of driving in the winning run.

Well would you rather have three chances with him at first where you either need an XBH/two hits/hit and walk/etc to win it

or

two chances where you only need one hit?

I still don't get how I'm the one throwing personal insults when you've been yammering about how my opinion's of baseball are "dumb" for weeks

Props to the Royals! I love seeing teams who haven't done anything in so long finally do something good. Their fans deserved it and they fought back every time they got down. For a team with primarily no postseason experience, that was phenomenal!

Kansas City is beating Oakland.

 
Looks like i was the only one to believe, shame shame shame lol.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Steve Simmons was picked last on the school yard and now takes that out on professional athletes.

Having 3 chances of driving a run in is better than 2. Getting a base hit with a guy on 2nd doesn't necessarily get you a run.

 

[snipezo]

Haha Bautista is such a douche. Worry about making the post season first instead of attacking journalists.

I would guess it does most of the time? Obviously given the speed on second. Hosmer isn't slow. You have an extra chance to drive in a run but you also need two bases (a double, 2 singles, w/e) to get it. It's smarter to just move the runner up.

I give you credit lol.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

 
But he won't.

 
You know i have to get on you about Lester and the getting rocked part, but dont worry, Shields did just as bad lol.
