He stared down all 3 IIRC too.That’s fine on the first pitch. You can’t do that with 2 strikes and a runner on 3rd. You have to put the ball in play.
But again other hitters guess wrong and they still swing sometimes you chop a ball and but still get on base and create some pressure on the pitcher.all hitters are guess hitters. wilken didn’t just choose to take a fastball down the plate, he was obviously looking for a slider based on the scouting report.
He’s been a 0 at the plate but he is definitely adding value defensively.Hell of a play by Kurtz.
YupHe stared down all 3 IIRC too.
If you win you typically deserve it.We don’t deserve to make the finals the way we‘re playing.
That worked out OK for Maddon.Walter has pulled a Joe Maddon and overthought this entire game.
Hard to expect our best ball first time in such a huge stage.
Baseball affords too much time to get your head out of wack.
