Bendix uses Soriano trying to lose, he knows Soriano is another Renyel Pinto.

Pinto is far better than Soriano tho

When did Gillespie come back?

Is Augustin Ramirez just dumb? All recently (like within last 10 days maybe?), he:

• Watched a non-HR and got a single instead of a double

• Didn’t run after strike three got away from the catcher and ended up thrown out at first

• Swung when X had a massive jump to steal second base on 0-0 count with two outs (huge run probability added)

I will give you a point for the last one. However, I have major issues with the first two.

First one - it was a line drive smashed off the wall and got played perfectly and thrown back in quickly by a guy with a great arm. Nothing you can do about that one. He also didn't really watch it all that much.

Second one - it was on a check swing and he had to wait for the umpire at first to confirm. The umpire practically waited until the catcher was at the ball to call it and by then Agustin was boned. Not a single player EVER runs to first after a check swing where they think they didn't go.

So, no, I actually can't say I think he's dumb at all.

Clearly both of you are just watching on Gameday and not the actual games.

You think he doesn’t end up on second if he runs hard out of the box? Seems hard to imagine.

Good points about the second one. I’d have to rewatch it.

Sounds like he may have done a similar thing to #3 tonight again with X on the pitch just before X got picked off.

Hit hard, played perfectly off wall, a strike thrown to second quickly. Nope, he did the right thing.

I think you’re playing the result to a degree. Still should have run hard out of the box.
