Safety squeeze

The look on Gibby's face was priceless.

 

[TootooTrain]

is a safety squeeze different from a suicide squeeze?


hi Pompey.

Safety, the man on 3rd waits for contact to see if it's a good bunt.

Suicide is running as soon as the pitch is made essentially.

 

[TF97]

I'd be tempted to pinch hit Smoaky then get Barney into the game for the bottom half

Yes, runner makes sure the bunt gets down on a safety squeez. Suicide squeeze he's running on the pitch, and will be out if he misses the pitch.

Now Pompey in lol, should have just put him on 2nd for EE before so he could score on the single if they planned on putting him in now.

thank you

 

[Swervin81]

Martin. don't listen to these guys. I believe in you. one clean base hit.

Sadly, Toronto sports has stripped me of the ability to believe and think positively w.r.t anything or one through grueling torture.

hi Pompey.

Suicide is when you start the runner and try to bunt. If the batter misses your ****ed, hence the suicide. Safety is when they try and get it down to have a play at home and hope for the best.

 

[Orca Smash]

I didn't say anything like that and I don't appreciate you suggesting I did. You questioned the decision made by Gibbons and I responded.

There is no reason to take it beyond that.

I can just imagine your comments if he left Cecil in to face the rightie and Cecil gets lit up.

I took that sentence as if you were suggesting i would pile on gibbons if they lost, and all i said is that's not what I do. Anyway this is my last response and has gone on to long, great call by gibbons.

With Pompey at third, I'd try a suicide squeeze here (yes Goins has been hitting well) ... I just never see a suicide squeeze and it would be awesome if it worked

hi Pompey.

saftey squeeze doesn't have the runner start from 3rd to home until the batter makes contact (as long as he does)

suicide squeeze has the runner start from 3rd to home as soon as the pitcher starts his delivery. So here if the batter screws up and doesn't make contact, the runner is gonna be DOA at the plate (hence the "suicide" part)

 

[stakesishigh]

Well that was absolutely disgusting

Hopefully Osuna can get it done.

 

[Divine]

Goins kills the rally.

 

[Daisy Jane]

aww boo.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Ball hit right at second base.. Too bad

 

[Stats01]

wow Goins

 

[Swervin81]

Well that was absolutely disgusting

Hopefully Osuna can get it done.

 

[Divine]

On a side note, why is Matt Boyd still starting for the Tigers?

 

[Rysto]

A bit unfortunate, but Osuna needs to be able to make a 2-run lead hold up anyway. He's not exactly facing the top of the order either.

injuries

 

[Swervin81]

They're tanking?

 

[The Nemesis]

On a side note, why is Matt Boyd still starting for the Tigers?

Because they've got no one else.

 

[tml19]

On a side note, why is Matt Boyd still starting for the Tigers?

They have no one better and want to see what he is.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Get the first one Osuna

 

[stakesishigh]

Umps got it wrong.

 

[BertCorbeau]

He missed it....
