It's never genius to give up the first out of the inning at 3b base. Whether it's Phillips, the manager, or whoever, it's a stupid team.

Regardless, is that smart baseball? With your No. 1 power hitter coming up? One of the problems with this team is poor decisions.Originally Posted by Reds Freak

That may have been the fastest 3 hit- 1 run inning in MLB history.
He had to be thinkiing he could beat Wakefield to 3B, right?

You're right on. No one out and safe at second with your sluggers up. You score most of the time. No need for that extra try. That is being stupid aggressive which really hurts this team as oppossed to smart aggresive.
The error was Brandon's. Not the manager's.

Cash, Pitcher and Ellsbury up for V.
Cash grounds 2-1 pitch to EE. 1 down
what was Phillips trying to do there? basket catch a line drive?
BP takes a shot off the chest recovers sand throws him out. 3 down.
Self flagellation for that dumb running play.
33 pitches (21 strikes, 12 balls) for Volquez through 3.
Bako walks to start the inning... bunt him over Volq...
Bako is baffled by one knuckler then lines one foul. Walks on a 72 mph fastball that makes Herrerra look like Koufax
shew... fundamentals people!
