Why the 17 do you play infield in

Gosh damn guess Cohen wanted the hat trick for dumbass decisions today

 

[Philly Dawg]

Uh, less than two outs? Force at home?

We walked 4 guys in the inning. The defensive alignment wasn't the problem.

 

[HomeBoyDawg]

Agreed. In at the corners and double-play depth in the middle--unless maybe the batter had wheels???

 

[Philly Dawg]

If you play double play depth up the middle and stop a ground ball up the middle, the run scores anyway. You have no choice but to play the infield in in that situation when they can walk it off. The two decisions you can question is pulling Sexton and pinch hitting for Humphreys and neither are as bad as is being made out here.

it was one out dumbass. The ball was hit exactly where we turned the last double play when the bases were loaded and 1 out.

Yeah, my computer was messing up but it looked like a routine double-play ball if the 2nd baseman's playing at double-play depth. That said, I agree with others that this was the lesser of a lot of mistakes made--in particular the inability of our bullpen to throw a strike in the 9th.
