dfwabel Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I did not hit baseball-reference until after game 1 began but:TEX batted just .211 in the ALDS and .286 in the ALCS. Boomstick's extra inning success make them look better.STL batted .259 in the NLDS and in the .310 NLCS. LaRussa only has to "out-manage" Washington in 2.5 out of 4 games. Washington will lose one and the other .5 of a game will be random anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 The Rangers batting the kid who hadn't had an at-bat all postseason with 2 on and 2 out basically sealed the deal. That was a dumb move. I see the logic, but that's high stakes gambling. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Punch Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Baseball needs expanded instant replay. "The Human Element" should absolutely not come at the expense of getting the call right.I agree, but instant replay would not have helped in this situation. Since the call on the field was that the ball did not hit Beltre's foot, they would have needed indisputable video evidence that it hit his foot. From the multiple angles that FOX showed, it was extremely difficult to determine whether or not it hit his foot.That's baseball for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 It barely grazed the toe of his shoe if there was any contact. There is no way to distinguish that close indisputably.

rainmaker17 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 No idea why Gentry and especially German were in the game at that point. Ah, it's only game one, and the Rangers looked competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIS FOOT), there's no way it makes it down to third.Instant replay is used to try to prove something using visual evidence. It sounds like you are trying to justify Beltre getting hit by using logic, something an umpire usually doesn't have in the heat of the moment in a World Series game.

mania Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I know in the long run it probably doesn't mean . The Cardinals outplayed the Rangers, but the fact that the call was wrong in a one-run game in the 9th inning really pisses me off.

I see the logic, but that's high stakes gambling.Esteban German. That choice made the .5 game that LaRussa had to "outmanage" Washington. German was in a position to fail more often than most MLB batters, even . He only had 11 ABs in the regular season. RISP the Cardinals have much better batters than TEX. I hate to say that, but STL is better with men who can score on a hit. However, Ron Washington still has positive comments post game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I also felt it was a poor decision to pitch to Berkman in the 4th. First base was open and while yeah, Freese is hot (derp) and there was nobody out, I would've walked them full and hope Freese bats conservatively to scrape the run in. That's just my opinion, obviously, and with as many walks as Wilson was dancing around I could see where this would be a terrible decision, but with 2nd and 3rd full, I'd throw caution to the wind and fill the bags if it afforded a chance of getting out of the inning with only 1 run scored.
