Dont agree with wasting that there should have let Napoli hit. Out by a mile

No kidding... one swing and we are up 4 to 3. No need to steal the base there none

What's the story with running in Lester? I heard some Dodger fans complaining about not doing it like it's an automatic steal or something.

Evidently he won't throw anywhere but home. Hasn't since July. Big leads should make for easy steals.

He will not throw to any base under any curcumstances, no matter what the lead. He's got Knobloch syndrome

He does have good career numbers against Lester.

2 Homer's while going like 6 of 15

Tie it on a single?

Chances of a homer are low. Get him in scoring position and the odds go up

He's done nothing for weeks. Relying on him to hit a homer is a low percentage play

No shit? I had that in High School... I could throw on a rope from the outfield but if you asked me to throw from third base I was a mess.

Oddly enough I never had a throwing error but I would just shot put the ball there

OR get thrown out stealing second...

Lester is in the same mold as Rick Ankiel throwing to home, Chuck Knoblach throwing to first, or Roy McAvoy on the practice tee when it comes to throwing to bases. Chronic case of the "yips." Problem is that his catcher has one helluva good throwing arm.

Peace

True but then relying on him to hit a single is just as pointless

 

[exhawg]

I guess Napoli needs to hit a HR here to make the steal a bad decision.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Bryan Shaw striking out the side on 12 pitches is pretty miraculous for him

 

[scarletmike]

Nice hit for Nap!

Hold at second with a single? Dynamite drop in there, Joe
