GDT: Red Sox @ Braves 9/5

Pretty simple. They would have walked Charlie. Then struck out Folty and then who wants Acuña up with bases loaded. So you send him and hope you can leadoff with Ronnie instead. You see the brilliance there.
 
Just hold Duda at 3b. If they wanna walk culberson, fine... tell folty to stand there and bases loaded for our best hitter
 
you're in the driver's seat with 2nd and 3rd and one out. you take yourself totally out of it by sending a player into an out. absurd.
 
The only excuse I can think of is that Washington thought there were two outs. Which would be terrible as well.
 
Sending Duda there likely cost Acuna a PA with men in scoring position.

Want to know a good way to ensure your team suffers from bad sequencing luck? Bat your best HR hitter 1st...then watch dumb folks cheer about how awesome the lead off solo HR record is.
 
Hmm. Boston pulls struggling pitcher before the top of the order comes around for third time. I wonder if the gut told them to do that.
 
Love it. Moreland is such an idiot for letting that bunt go foul. He's giving you an out!
 
Excellent move here by Snit.

Nobody wants to see Duda hit vs a LHP, and if the Sox bring in a RHP to face Suzuki we get to see Freeman face a RHP with the bases loaded.
