Never would have thought I would have placed so much emphasis about the 5th starter being decent before, but when you have 2 of the leagues best pitchers, and 2 other pretty good pitchers on your staff, and a future HOFer on the DL, you have a lot to live up to and compete with when you’re trying to be the 5th guy.

Just because it’s a hit and run, it doesn’t mean you’re supposed to completely flail at a pitch 5 feet outside, especially with a 3 ball count.

The dumb thing was calling it in a 3 ball count. But if you are given that sign, then you swing, no matter where the pitch is or what the count is. That’s how players are conditioned to react when given a sign from the coaches.

by Hobbes2d on Aug 5, 2009 12:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think putting on the hit and run probably does cause hitters to expand their strike zone, even in a 3 ball count.

Yeah, they usually expand the zone, but on a 3 ball count,

you should just take the walk. It’s not like it was a 2-1 or 2-2 count. That was a horrific pitch to swing at.

by giants92388 on Aug 5, 2009 12:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

No, but the thing is that by putting on the hit and run, you put the batter in the mentality where he thinks he has to expand the strike zone.

If coaches give you a sign for a hit and run, you swing at the pitch. Doesn’t matter if it’s over your head. The runner is going no matter what, the hope is that you making contact allows them to advance past 2nd base, if you miss that your swing slows down the catcher’s ability to throw them out.

by Hobbes2d on Aug 5, 2009 12:03 PM PDT up reply actions

Or you make slight contact to foul it off, you need to do all you can to prevent your runner from getting thrown out from the late jump.

by scout6 on Aug 5, 2009 12:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

They’re not going to get thrown out in a three ball count if it’s a ball. Maybe Bochy should have known Garko couldn’t read the pitch, but Garko shouldn’t have swung.

by paboperfecto on Aug 5, 2009 12:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

But the situation was “Bench called for hit and run, I have to try and put the bat on the ball” You can’t really question your coaches decisions mid game. If he had disobeyed he could have been fined, penalized, yelled at or whatever. Players are supposed to do what their managers tell them.

Hmmmm….I never played baseball on any managed team but everything I’ve read or heard about a hit and run in a three ball count is that it becomes optional.

That wasn't Bochy's fault

I actually kind of like the play. The worst-case scenario is SUPPOSED to be Pablo out and the tying run scores. But lots of other good things can happen (Garko gets a hit with Pablo running, a bad throw / no throw to second, or Pablo just beats the throw) and the most likely scenario is just Garko walks and it doesn’t matter.

BUT, Garko swings at ball four and Pablo botches the rundown play…

The problem was execution, not play-calling

by sfmaynard on Aug 5, 2009 12:03 PM PDT reply actions

by furikawari on Aug 5, 2009 12:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

You never pull that play with a power hitter. He either takes ball four and they’re loaded with 1 out. Or he swings and misses and gets another shot to hit a ball 400+ feet like he did his last at bat. Horrible play

by m34josh on Aug 5, 2009 12:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

The thing you are missing is that it forces Garko into “protect mode” at the plate and he has to swing at anything close even though he has a 3 ball count.

It was a bad call by Bochy.

by nofreetime on Aug 5, 2009 12:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

That’s the real problem. Garko can’t swing at his pitch. Without the stupid h & r, we’ve got bases loaded one out with Rowand batting, and the big inning is still alive.

by Giantsfan4life on Aug 5, 2009 12:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

then bochy has to call a hit and run plus a double steal. you can’t call a hit and run and expect pablo to magically decipher mid-stride that he needs to get in a run down. bad bad bad play calling.
