If you can not steal up 11 to 3, you should not steal down 3 to 11 either.

here, enjoy your ONE run, you asstard.

Responses:

didn't a team just blow a huge lead recently? All started with 1 run... -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 08:05 1
- I do not disagree, but then again, I would steal up 10 as well. - groiny Sep 2, 08:06
What are we arguing about now? Are we trying to assert that teams can't steal bases whenever they want? -- nm - oblique Sep 2, 08:04 15

  - I would criticize the coach for stealing only because of the added potential for injury - oblique Sep 2, 08:09 2
    - bah, I hate this logic. - groiny Sep 2, 08:11 1
      - I'd suggest pulling your starters if you're up 34 in football :) -- nm - oblique Sep 2, 08:12
  - right, but it is certainly not relegated to just baseball with these "rules" nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 08:08
  - word to the IM -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 08:08
- It has always been an unwritten rule that you don't steal bases when you have a huge lead - amoxy Sep 2, 08:06 8
  - Whatever. Baseball people are weird. You play to win. -- nm - oblique Sep 2, 08:07 2
    - it is much like football, when a team airs it out up 24 in the 4th quarter. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 08:08 1
      - Yes, yes!! Tell me more!! -- nm - Mike Leach si Sep 2, 08:09
  - it certainly helped that he plowed the catcher the day before and hurt him. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 08:07 4

      - like you would not plow Mauer. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 08:09 2
        
        It would be the other way around. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 2, 08:09 1
        
        Mauer has a thing for lawyers? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 08:11
I may end up holding on to Crawford. The deals just aren't good enough for me -- nm - amoxy Sep 2, 08:03
Then we should just call the games in the 5th inning. -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 08:03 6
- just saying, that if you are losing and get pissed that someone is running on you - groiny Sep 2, 08:05 5
  - They should just get pissed about things that aren't dumb, and then go on with their day. -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 08:06 4
    - we all get pissed at dumb shit from time to time. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 08:07 3
      - true enough. we don't all necessarily punch people in the face over it. -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 08:09 2
        
        only because there would be charges pressed. - groiny Sep 2, 08:10
        
        nuts on a drumset, though, that's a different story. -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 08:09
