Where was the "out of the box" thinking today?

[bigredrobbo]

Was anyone else screaming at the TV when we had the score tied, runners on 1st and 3rd, with one out, for a double steal attempt? Surely you take your chances that the man on 3rd can get home before the throw to 2nd, then home, comes in. Why does Macha never attempt squeezes, double steals or other so-called "trick plays"? What did we have to lose at that point, since the score was tied? I'm fairly sure that if Rickie swings at ball 4 and we go to Soup time, we were losing today, and I'll wager that I'm not alone with that thought. Surely something non-textbook should have been tried, or is Macha that brain-dead?
