Pinch running for Rizzo with Heyward up? I don't like that one bit

[Brian]

and Rizzo can get thrown out at home by Melky just as well as Szr

[Andy]

Why are we yanking Rizzo in a 2 out tie game with absolutely no chance at getting a hit

[UMFan83]

Why the hell would you remove your best horsefeathering hitter right before extras when you are counting on a guy with a .630 OPS for the year and quite a bit worse against lefties?

 

There is like a 10% chance Szczur for Rizzo matters eleven if Heyward gets a hit, and at best a 20% chance he even gets a hit.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I would be interested to see a statistical analysis showing the benefit of a marginally faster runner at second with 2 outs vs. losing potential extra inning at bats from your best hitter. At face value, I never like it, but I don't doubt that it may be the statistically right thing to do.

Now do the odds of Rizzo getting another at bat that matters.

Removing Rizzo is Dustydumb joe

[BigSlick]

Come on Hayward, just duplicate that double from earlier

It sure feels wrong, but like you say, who knows.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Please walk him.

[Brian]

guh

[UMFan83]

horsefeathers you heyward

 

Worthless sack of poo

 

(Except in the field you coo)

[TMan92]

Man he is absolutely awful

[soccer10k]

Such a good AB and then he swings at ball 4.

[bcl412]

I wish he didn't swing. Oh well. Hope they don't walk off

[Schwarber Fan]

Oh well, the melky walk off will suck but hopefully Bryant isn't concussed.

[Ski]

Good horsefeathering job Heyward.

[TruffleShuffle]

well, at least heyward gives some good at bats before striking out or grounding out.

[UMFan83]

Ok now that you tied it you can absolutely not lose the game. Nothing worse than watching those fans celebrate.

[David]

anyone know who is pitching this inning? i can't even remember who pitched the 8th lol (oh yeah, CJ) Edited July 26, 2016 by David

[Irrelevant Dude]

I wish he didn't swing.

Ever.

[SpongeWorthy]

Isn't it cool how we are now a franchise where the pressure of a big contract and media scrutiny can render a player toothless

[Andy]

No Bryzzo in a tie game but at least we batted Heyward against a lefty

[Butterscup]

i hate watching him try and hit so much. he's terrible.

[Ski]

How much public internet shaming does it take for a guy to miraculously improve? Christ.
