When a ball is hit to the wall, you don't tag at first. You get about 10 feet from second base and then you have time to get back if the guy catches that. They are blaming the wrong guy. Brown, a fifth year senior, screwed up on baserunning there. Should have been 2nd and 3rd, no outs.

Had to know if their pitcher got to Poole what the result would be. Certainly McNamee can catch enough fly balls in the outfield to make him the RF and Skelton a DH.

That one is pretty tough to get upset about. Leaving the box he's thinking HR or double. Guess he needs to pick up CBrown around the bag, but still.

Yep. Two lousy at bats by Alexander striking out on ball four and Poole with his usual

Both runners at fault. Sure you don't tag up at first but you don't run past a man standing right in front of you either. That bone head cost us at least one run. Dang

I don't understand Brown tagging on that hit. He should have been at least half way on the contact

As I said, that mistake is in Brown. He should have been over half way to second. NO body was going to catch that ball and throw Brown out trying to get back to first if he is 10 feet from second and Mcnamee is between him and first. And once the ball hit the ground Brown should have been rounding 2nd and ending up at 3rd we don't tag at first base down 3-0 and no outs.

Alexander and Poole are awful. They might win us this game, but they are near automatic outs.

I'm with you, but it's asking a lot for CBrown to know if that ball is at the warning track, wall or over the wall. He's wanting to send up at second with 1 down if it's caught.

Hes trying to be aggressive and it cost us.

I'm with bruiser here. No damn reason Cody should have been parked at 1B. McNamee was watching the ball and was shocked when he came around 1B and saw Cody still there.

I'd argue control, all day.

We are last in the league in BB. If you look at most of our league losses (look at today, so far) and walks have been the culprit, more often than not. Moreso than baserunning, at least.

Agree. It was too early in the game for tagging up at first on a blast like that.

You want to feel some real pain? Think if the ball would have left the yard AND Cody brown passed by McNamee? He would have been called out on an HR.
