And the enemy gets a vote, actively trying to thwart what it is you know you have to do.
4. Anticipate a double play. We've been told so many times.
Re: You just can't do that
Up to bat ... their pitcher walks our hitter on 4 straight pitches. He is having control issues. Our next guy grounds out or pops up on the very next pitch out of the strike zone. You just can't do that. You need to make them throw a strike. cough cough heisey cough cough
Re: You just can't do that
You know what really grinds my gears?
It's when one team scores more runs than the other team, and the other team is the Reds.

Another one: walking the pitcher.
Cliche, I know.....but you just can't do that.

Totally. If they could do all those things at will, they would be crowned BEST TEAM EVAH.

Especially when he's leading off the inning.

1. Taking a lead in the top of an extra innings game, only to give it back in the bottom (especially when it's not a back-and-forth high scoring game).
2. Failing to score a runner (before the end of the inning) who is on third with -0- outs.
3. Popping up or striking out with a runner on third and one out.
Make the first out at third.
Swing and miss on a 3-0 count.
Re: You just can't do that
Everytime I see a club fail in a fundamental situation, I gain more and more respect for Barry Larkin. Guy on 2nd with nobody out, Lark could hit it to the right side at will. Or so it seemed at times.
