Play with Morgan at 3rd/TF in 6th inning.

First off i apologise for exploding and melting last night. JML told me to shut up at some point, so i did. I was pissed off severely at the umpire.

Yeah, i read the whole lesterearl post. This is what should have happened.

First off, morgan approaches 3rd base on a hit. 1st and 3rd, NO OUTS right. First thing that should immediately happen is the 3rd base coach gets a hold of Morgan and tells him that he isnt forced, to shorten his primary and take a small secondary, it is no outs and "runs thru the scenerios" that can happen. Main ones are ball hit in the middle with infield playing deep, we score, if ball is hit to pitcher/3rd base, WE HAVE TO HOLD. If ball is hit to 1st,it depends of he is deep or not. Freeze on line drives and ball hit to outfield deep, we tagging etc. Jay's excuse was they were being "aggressive", thats an excuse to hide his eneptness as a gameday coach, it was a failure in coaching. Being aggressive, is squeezing a run in or seeing something in your running game and steal 2nd base with 1st and 3rd or jump on first pitch strike at the plate. Any good coach will tell you the same! You hold at 3rd in that situation , the 3rd baseman would have checked Morgans decision to hold,and throw to 1st,if he goes to 2nd then Morgan advances. Period. No question. This is fundamental baseball. Yeah yeah nobody is perfect but this is Omaha in the winners bracket and a "simple" fundamental coaching mistake caused us a run/game in a low scoring big game. This is elementary baseball 101. Jay failed. Some say well if we hold there we dont score, well we had two more at bats with Morgan on 3rd. This was the go ahead run in the biggest game of the year and the coach just arbitrarily voided all rules in that situation and "gambled" with a no Brainer decision. Thats what we got.

We all know Floyds m.o... yes he pitched great. He was elite. We ALL also know that when Floyd has around 90 pitches,is 5th or 6th inning and starts walking, the "rails" ALWAYS FALL OFF for Floyd. After the first walk Jay should have pulled him. Like he said we had a ton of relief ready. If he pulls him at right time, we leave that inning still up 2-0. Terrible management imo. Say what you want but TF's usual m.o. is once you see anything dysfunctional, he implodes and is destructive. Jay should have pulled him but he didnt. Those 2 runs were solely on Jay.

Top 9th Jobert has a 2-0 count and he is potential tying run and what does he do, he swings at a pitch in the dirt. Why wasnt Jay putting BJ on take? Lack of control and following baseball 101. Thats all i got. You can troll or hate but i know im right.


Plate umpire you garbage
