Oli picked the wrong time and player to use that play. Arenado does not make contact enough, and your runners at first and third are not speedy.

Arenado for all his faults doesn't K much. Of course, he Ks with the runner in motion on 3-2.

Chances to add runs but base running blunders kill the innings. Bad decisions, base coaches, etc. It's hard to win games against great teams when you do not play fundamentally sound baseball. Pitching is decent enough so far but 2 runs will not be enough..

There are no "right" combos. That's the point. The talent isn't there

For his career, Arenado's K rate with a full count is 21%

At what point do you look at the coaching or are all these guys just stupid?
Maybe a combination of both???

Not many with this roster, correct. But, for example, if you have a contact hitter such as Donovan at the plate with a full count, Nootbaar at first, and Scott at third, that play stands a better chance at working.
