Re: Baseball
This is what pisses me off about baseball today. 1st and 2nd, nobody out, down by two runs, 9th batter up, Otahni on deck.
Why aren’t you sacrificing the runners over in that situation?

Re: Baseball
I think a sacrifice in that situation would be even more stupid than it usually is. You'd waste one of your chances to get a hit to score the tying run which is already at second base.
In the best case you just move the runners to 2nd and 3rd to move the runner representing the winning run up a base, but then Ohtani would just get walked, both to set up the double play and because you dont want to face him. You're taking the bat out of his hands, and now you're in a situation where its much more likely that a groundball ends the game. The odds of hitting into a triple play are very low, it was just bad luck.

Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Re: Baseball
They were down 2…the tying run was at 1st…

Re: Baseball
Depends who’s coming up. Also might just be letting his team play balls out since they already pretty much clinched everything. Plenty of high-octane offenses in the recent past that did not like to sacrifice.

Re: Baseball
That makes it more justifiable. Id downgrade it from stupid to just dumb then.
