The Cubs were playing the Reds tonight, and the score was 5-5 in the bottom of the 10th. The Cubs had runners on second and third, with one out. I knew if they didn’t squeeze, they wouldn’t score. The on-deck hitter was a .170 hitter. Does Sveum squeeze? No, and they don’t score. As I continue to say, if you don’t score a man from third with less than two outs while not scoring at all that inning, the momentum change significantly increases the chances of the other team scoring during their next at-bat. The Cubs didn’t score, the Reds did score in the top of the 11th, and won 6-5. I continue to point out examples of this, but managers continue to not understand this.
