He was looking fastball. Hard to blame him.Wallen strikes out looking, ugh.
Swing the bat.

Ya, can't get an RBI if you don't swing the bat. What's Gonzalez' injury?Wallen strikes out looking, ugh.

Um, how about not looking for one pitch with two strikes and the go ahead run on 3rd.He was looking fastball. Hard to blame him.
Moving a runner over is selfish? That is what I was saying is smart.No it isn't. It's selfish baseball.
I think you misunderstood my post. Sorry for not making it clear. I was saying that amatuer baseball (travel ball in particular) is not teaching to get guys over. The current status of amateur baseball is hit it as far as you can. I'm all about moving guys over.Moving a runner over is selfish? That is what I was saying is smart.

I think these days it's a function of what scouts and college coaches look for in youth players. They don't care that you can move a guy over, they only want to see if you have power and can hit for average. Same logic we see with pitchers now. Youth pitchers are being told to just throw fastballs and focus on throwing as fast as possible. It doesn't matter if you are a crafty lefty and a good pitcher but top out at 78 mph, you ain't going d1 or to the MLB. It's a shame, its all about the MPH on the radar gun.I think you misunderstood my post. Sorry for not making it clear.

That's Florida amateur baseball in 2022. Dudes have no interest in moving guys over. It's launch angle and hitting it over the scoreboard.
You could have pinch hit someone else and then subbed Wallen, but with some injuries piling up you’re running low on bench bodies for a double change.Sucks wallen had to be the guy up with 1 out and a guy on 3rd. Almost anyone would have been better...guess there's no other options to play 2nd tho
They said he had been looking good in practice. It's a lot different in the game.Sucks wallen had to be the guy up with 1 out and a guy on 3rd. Almost anyone would have been better...guess there's no other options to play 2nd tho
