Except that didn't appear to be a called play. If it was, it was a very poorly executed by Casey. It was just bad baseball, all the way around. Somebody had to "win" on the play and the Brewers won the coin toss.

I agree with Bill that the squeeze probably wasn't on there. McGehee was probably expecting the throw to go to 2nd.

 

Also, can we have robot umps already?

A runner on first and second with a run in, is better. Not sure how some always look at things in such a negative way. Have you never played a game and seen these things happen before? It's like you live in this perfect world and nothing unusual ever happens. Guess they should play station to station ball and never tag up, go first to third, or stretch a hit, seeing there is a chance you could get thrown out. LOL.

So the Brewers should cross their fingers and hope for defensive mistakes? No one was arguing that the way the play ended up was a bad thing for the Brewers.

No but sometimes you play aggresive and things work out and sometimes not. This team plays a bit aggresive and force the other team to make plays. They didn't make a mistake. The first baseman just didn't make a good throw. This isn't a video game. It's not a mistake when a fielder doesn't make a perfect throw.

He didn't need a perfect throw...only routine one.

 

Any kind of decent throw there and Casey is out easily.

 

It was a bad play that worked out well.......will take it.

Ok seriously, there is a nice medium between running all the time and never running at all. Are we going to stop stealing 2nd base because a perfect throw gets the runner out at least 1/2 of the time?
