I suggest that's what the Birmingham office intended (#968), but we are flipping the narrative and writing our own ending. We are saying that it works to our advantage and then kickin' chickens! GB!I disagree. With our pitching depth, I think we always want 9 inning games. Most teams don’t have the quality pen we have.
Evan Russell told me the exact same thing. They are coached to run on contact on ground balls in that situation, and to force the defense to make a play. Evan said Dickey did exactly what the team is coached to do in that situation. Just hate that he got hurt.
