I think there's some guys where, hey, give me that high average, that high contact rate guy in the postseason or something, because when emotions get heightened, when adrenaline gets high, you want someone who can just put the bat in the ball, put it in play, and I think that's where the best things happen in this game.
Well, I don't, and I almost want to, I'm glad you brought that up because I do want to talk about that a little bit.
So at first I was maybe harsher than I could have been because there was no outs and I thought there was one out because they put the one out up there real fast when he caught the ball.
So I understand that Thayer was trying to get to third base to be there with less than two outs so he could tag on a sack fly or a pass ball happens or something like that.
And I don't want the Cubs to ever lose their aggressiveness.
I like that they put pressure on defenses.
I like they create traffic.
That's what you want to do as an offense as a whole always.
That being said, in that kind of situation, the problem I did have is you are the most important part right there.
You cannot run into an out no matter what.
And people are like, well, he beat the throne.
He was safe.
It's not a play at first base where as long as you beat the throw and touch the bag first, you're safe.
You're not safe until the play is dead and you're still standing on that bag.
And if you can't get to third base without that slide and staying on the bag, you're not safe.
So I think it's a little bit of a learning lesson where, especially if that ball is coming from left center, he knows that the throw is going to be to the right side of third base.
That's where the third baseman is going to catch the ball.
He should already be starting his slide to the left side of the bag and
and he should be starting to slide under the control of I'm going to be as far away from the bag as I can and just have my hand there, and I'm going to slide it so my hand stays on the bag.
