What's this?

It is easy to overlook or forget the fact the TB's 3rd base coach had no

business whatsoever sending Arozorena. The fact that the Rays got lucky -- i.e., that the Dodgers had a melt-down -- doesn't change that, IMO. Of course, one might argue that aggressive base-running creates mistakes like that. The Dodgers definitely lost their cool (i.e., panicked), which made it a pleasure for me to watch. They have always epitomized arrogance; it's a trademark of their organizational culture. Pride cometh before the fall.

(By the way, I don't know who TB's coach is, but he reminds me of the Braves' 3rd base coach, who has never impressed me.)

Nope. The Braves were playing with house money. They exceeded -- Hoo in W. Africa 10/25/2020 12:30PM

Great point. I was born on October 12 during that series. -- jdubforwahoowa 10/25/2020 12:48PM

I had completely forgotten that series. I see Koufax won Game 7 2-0. -- Hoo in W. Africa 10/25/2020 12:56PM

I was truly torn that particular series. -- jdubforwahoowa 10/25/2020 1:03PM

I see that the home team won each game of that series. Good thing the Twins -- Hoo in W. Africa 10/25/2020 1:14PM

As a fellow Braves fan, do you feel the same way that I do about him? ** -- Hoo in W. Africa 10/25/2020 10:43AM

He’s definitely on the aggressive side with the way he manages base runners -- HooStu 10/25/2020 11:23AM
