There was a runner on 3rd with one out. And Yadi has been one of the most clutch hitters on this team over the last few years.
Discuss the St. Louis Blues, the NHL, or whatever.

I get walking Yadi for that very reason. It's the "And Schu" part that has me baffled. Yadi ain't the fleetest of runners so why not take the chance of trying to get the DP from Schu instead of pitching to the guy whose been hitting lights out for awhile now?OS wrote:There was a runner on 3rd with one out.

I agree... and I'd even rather pitch to Yadi than Miles. I'll take my chances with a guy who has been clutch over a span of time over the guy who's solar-surface hot right now......theohall wrote:I get walking Yadi for that very reason.

The baserunner at first isn't what matters. It's the batter, and with Shumaker running, I don't think you can even attempt the double-play if you have a play at home in that situation.theohall wrote:I get walking Yadi for that very reason.

The Aaron Miles that's hitting .323? .350 at home? .427 during the day?OS wrote:Do you guys realize you're talking about AARON MILES? I don't care how hot he is, he's Aaron Miles. It was his FIRST EVER game winning hit.
Exactly. I don't give a crap what his name is...he's on fire.BF44 wrote:The Aaron Miles that's hitting .323? .350 at home? .427 during the day?OS wrote:Do you guys realize you're talking about AARON MILES? I don't care how hot he is, he's Aaron Miles. It was his FIRST EVER game winning hit.
The potential pitcher had TLR's cajones-like substitution move not worked.BF44 wrote:The Aaron Miles that's hitting .323? .350 at home? .427 during the day?OS wrote:Do you guys realize you're talking about AARON MILES?

I don't care that it was his first game winning hit, Aaron Miles has been one of our best bench players in several years. They ran a stat at the game last night that said he's hitting over .350 when he starts, and is hitting .323 overall. Plug him in the lineup at the beginning of the game, or put him in a pinch hitting assignment, and the guy will still hit.OS wrote:Do you guys realize you're talking about AARON MILES?
