Sell.

Them.

All.

Off.

Alright, let’s walk it off

Do dominant closers have to give up intentional walks?

It’d have been dumb not to do that. You don’t let Bobby Witt Jr. beat you.

man oh man oh man


well, let's walk it off

late in the game against a Good RHP, Burleson was replaced...hmmmm, I thought Oli wanted him in this situation. I was told this over and over again.

not sure I want the Cold VS2 up to the plate, though.

Sure they do. And that was the obvious and correct choice there.

1) Don’t get the defensive alignments? Guy throwing 100 and you play #9 hitter to pull.
Weak grounder up the middle sneaks through!
2) Noot throws home into no man’s land and let’s go ahead runner advance.

Fortunate to be tied!

Seems like every other time I see Helsley…..he puts someone in scoring position…..and lets them score

2024 VS2...ground out right side.

No swing and miss for Helsley. That speaks volumes.

A walk off it must be. No other solution applies.
