Not ideal but it could have been worse

Are you kidding me? Penders needs to get his baserunner's head out of their butts. That's on the coaching staff

 

[huskymedic]

Nothing comes easy...

 

[huskymedic]

Phew... big fugly win.

 

[Baseballguy]

Phew. They never make it easy

19 Ks tonight by the staff.

Taking the series opener is big. No more of this tomfoolery on the basepaths though.

I'd be fine with them not taking a lead on the basepaths for the rest of the series

Winkel and Cate were awesome tonight. I honestly believe Winkel will be a huge weapon by the end of the year.

Penders needs to get his head out of his butt. He's the one calling for steal attempts every time a runner gets on base.

tbf, this is a great base stealing team...I do not blame Penders for repeatedly getting picked off 1st and even 2nd by righties.

It's on the players, but it's up to the coaching staff to refocus the runners. You can't keep taking massive leads when you had a righty with 5 pickoffs coming into the game. Those kill momentum like errors and walks do.
