2011 Playoffs Thread

I just had a moment of clarity. Theriot will ground into a double play.

 

Even I don't think Theriot is bad enough to do that.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Hypothetical, say Theriot reaches via a walk and loads the bases...would you IBB Pujols with the bases loaded up 2 to force in a run, just so he doesn't beat you?

Not a chance.

Bob Brenly once called for an IBB of Bonds to force in a run and it worked, but that wasn't a playoff game

 

No, a base hit would win it then. With Pujols a hit would only tie it.

If Theriot wins this game somebpry dies

[mookie]

[expletive], he was productive.

Berkman's hitting the ball too well.

I believe that was Buck Showalter?

[abuck1220]

yeah, gotta walk him.

[Brian]

remember 2 hours ago when Albert had his last at bat as a Cardinal?

[Soul]

Walk him now though

[Derwood]

Smart move to get the out at first, though it looked like he could've nailed the runner at the plate there

[SouthSideRyan]

DO NOT PUT THE TYING RUNNER ON BASE YOU [expletive]

[kujay]

I wouldn't walk him.

[Guest]

GUESS WHOS ON DECK...WHO? ALBERT PUJOLS! I hate these guys...

You get Theriot out, and then you walk Pujols. No question.

 

Pujols has been basically neutralized for the large majority of this series. Berkman has not.

 

 

Yea...... I'd consider that a sample size issue and wouldn't think twice about who I'd rather face.

the tying runner is already at 2nd

[kujay]

Berkman is too hot.

[Cubswin11]

I know you play to get the sure out there, but Beltre may have been able to get the runner at home.

That's the winning run.

[Outshined_One]

Technically, it still is his last AB.

Winning?

Yeah and he had a 4-5 run lead.

I remember when that happened a month ago.

If this is Pujols' last at bat...

[shnsajax]

Pujols making the last out would have been epic.

you're probably gonna lose eventually anyway if pujols ties it. i'd have walked him.
