we're not even mentioning the fact a lefty was on the mound making it that much more difficult to steal a base, you know, since a lefty pickoff move is hard to get a jump on...but that's beside the point the point is, Esky's run MEANT nothing in the grand scheme of things. I doubt the Giants really ****ing cared if he took 2nd and 3rd if he REALLY wanted to. The point is, it doesn't matter. It would have been utterly pointless to steal 2nd base in that situation against any pitcher especially a lefty. Aoki needed to get a hit. He didn't. |

You would put in Gore and it wouldn't be an issue.

In that situation, after we have near-miraculously scored 5, now suddenly scoring that 1 run actually means something. So, I try to increase my odds of tying the game. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but thats fine if it was the correct decision.
Trying to steal down 6 in the late innings is asinine.

We could have The Kicker Who Shall Not Be Named throw out the first pitch.
Doesn't matter. Bad pitching, mediocre defense, poor hitting, and the opposite true for your opponent doesn't equal success. Need Ace to come up huge tomorrow. If we win tomorrow, it will be amazing how much all of your moods will swing. |

Yeah if we lose game 2 I can still see us scraping our way back into the series and getting it back to the K. If we lose game 2 & 3 we're absolutely ****ed (though coming back from down 3-0 would just fit)
