@aaronsnearly@chifanpatt2@670TheScore I don't know if I'd count blowing a 4-run lead and then barely eeking out a win in extras to be an igniter, but who knows, maybe.
With the bases loaded in a 6-3 game, Brewers had Jesse Winker ready to pinch hit, and Cubs countered with Anthony Kay. Brewers then brought out Jahmai Jones, who cleared the bases with a first-pitch double.
It's a tie ballgame in Milwaukee.
@ValarM961@MLB@BwittJr More away teams have won than home teams. So it doesn't really matter what your opinion is at this point, the alleged "advantage" has been rendered a moot point.
@Marce11Ozuna@R6qFd26@Oliver_Phi@MLB@Mastercard He's definitely not 2nd in OBA, which mean "On Base Average", which is the same as On Base Percentage. Considering he's at .305 right now, no way he's second. assuming he meant xwOBA, which means Expected Weighted On Base Average.
@R6qFd26@Marce11Ozuna@Oliver_Phi@MLB@Mastercard Being a finalist has no bearing on whether they'll be selected as a reserve. The starter finalist voting is a popularity contest voted on by fans.
@R6qFd26@Marce11Ozuna@Oliver_Phi@MLB@Mastercard I would absolutely stick with my team, but I wouldn't unequivocally defend them like they're the best team with the best players on Earth like you're doing either.
@DigitalNuggetz@Marce11Ozuna@Oliver_Phi@MLB@Mastercard Damn you really have no loyalty…you telling me you would leave ur team if your team wasn’t that good? I mean the cubs aren’t that good either but yea money can’t buy a good team🤷
@lucas5176098183@SamTurner1836@BleacherNation "Hey, it's a tie game and there's a man on third. The opposing team's best hitter is coming up. He's hitting .350 with 40 HRs. The guy after him is hitting .120 with 0 HRs for his career, but I'm going to pitch to the best hitter because the other guy could possibly hit a HR."
@lucas5176098183@SamTurner1836@BleacherNation These are people who live and die baseball. That's clearly not the case with you.
It's called strategy. If managers needed to consider remote occurrences, then intentional walks wouldn't exist at all.
@Marce11Ozuna@DigitalNuggetz@Oliver_Phi@MLB@Mastercard You could of rephrased this as “at the end of the day idc because I was wrong and am giving an excuse so I don’t seem as dumb as I am” but sure good talking with u
@lucas5176098183@SamTurner1836@BleacherNation It loses its respectfulness when you defend dumb decisions by the manager.
Read the thread. EVERY other fan is saying the exact same thing.
@lucas5176098183@SamTurner1836@BleacherNation Like I said, yes, he can get the out. That still puts a two runners in scoring position with 1 out situation. You need to maximize your opportuny to get outs. That is done by loading the bases.
I hate debating idiots who don't understand baseball.
@DigitalNuggetz@SamTurner1836@BleacherNation Bell HR and then you guys: "why he walk Naylor?" or some thing like that. You know everything.
Alzolay can easily get the out. Didn't happen. Bad luck. Move on men.
