I was thinking the exact same thing. Ausmus clearly clueless as usual. There is no question Balti has a huge coaching advantage in this series.Originally Posted by No coincidences
Why would you pitch to Cruz there?
WTF is Ausmus doing?
VMart just went yard.
There are a lot of little moments here and there that add up and expose Ausmus as the virgin manager he is.I was thinking the exact same thing. Ausmus clearly clueless as usual. There is no question Balti has a huge coaching advantage in this series.

It's a HR derby.
Of course you pitch to him, wtf are you talking about?Why would you pitch to Cruz there?

Not with 1B open and two outs you don't.Of course you pitch to him, wtf are you talking about?
Or at the very least, you don't give him anything good to hit.
Let's see -- do you try to get the third out on Nelson Cruz or Steve Pearce?
qualifications to be a mlb manager = a heartbeat
I think you are wrong, with your logic you never pretty pitch much to him the whole game with a man on?Not with 1B open and two outs you don't.

Not to Nelson Cruz with 2 outs. No. You don't give him a pitch to hit in that spot. He has no protection behind him.I think you are wrong, with your logic you never pretty pitch much to him the whole game with a man on?
It's Scherzer. He made a bad pitch. It's a percentage play with your ace on the hill. Doesn't mean the coach made the wrong decision in the 1st inning. Give me a break.
My point exactly, putting another man for no reason at all in favorable position with 2 outs is reaching. And yeah, 1st inning lol.It's Scherzer. He made a bad pitch. It's a percentage play with your ace on the hill. Doesn't mean the coach made the wrong decision in the 1st inning. Give me a break.
I didn't say it was Ausmus' call that particular time. That was on Scherzer. He knows better than to give Cruz something to hit.It's Scherzer. He made a bad pitch. It's a percentage play with your ace on the hill. Doesn't mean the coach made the wrong decision in the 1st inning. Give me a break.
Jones or Markakis hitting behind Cruz = you have to deal with him.
Pearce hitting behind Cruz = you try to get him to chase something, throw nothing over the heart of the plate, and take your chances with the next guy in the lineup.
