So basically, the argument FP is making is that Henley should send Adams because of the low odds of Stras getting a hit. That argument only makes sense if there is a reasonable chance of scoring. You would have to be blind to think that Adams was going to score there unless the Dodgers defense failed to make routine throws. We actually know the odds of Stras getting a hit based upon his stats. It may not be high, but it seems higher than the chances of Adams scoring. That is one reason that send is stupid. The other reason is that if you can pretty much bet that you are giving up the third out at home, you may as well let the pitcher bat to turn the lineup over. If he wants to talk about low odds of the pitcher getting a hit, he should factor in the low odds of scoring when he leads off the next inning.
My point is that the rule is complicated and really I wasn't so much talking about this one play.
Sanity. FP is covering for his buddy Sendley.
Ron Darling took up for Hendley also. Are they friends? Different points of view obviously.
Darling is a moron
TBS announcers said it was a good send. Ron Darling. Because two outs.
Need to turn over the lineup.
Doesn’t look like they will have any more scoring chances today so hoping for a bad throw there was the best odds.
I would be curious what Darling had to say.
Two outs and pitcher up so you take a chance.
I know Adams is slow and I know he had just been hit on the foot but he surprised me with how slow he is. He was Jason Bergmann slow
This is MLB. With a slow runner those guys take their time and nail him just about every time.
Please email Ron.
Didn’t see it but assume he got a bad jump also.
Apparently the key to Robles hitting is to hit him in the two hole
He did. I think he assumed it was going to get caught.
Two outs. He should have been going.
