Either Haniger bomb is tops for me. (Partially owing to my $3 bid to win him at auction.)
In any case, neither compares to my worst moment--and I'm looking for some education here.
I was at the game Saturday and when Heredia stepped to the plate for Cruz with the tying run on second, you could hear at least a dozen people in our section murmer, "What the...?" I don't know if they said anything on TV, but we were all apoplectic.
And then--the moment I will NEVER understand--Servais has Heredia sacrificing. Why? How does that make sense? You have a man already in scoring position...six outs left in the game...and you voluntarily give one up?
I thought,"OK, maybe Servais knows Cano can't score on a single." So you move him to third. Where...even assuming Kyle is able to manage a fly ball against Andrew Miller...you now challenge Cano to go fulll speed into a possible collision at the plate? And am I mistaken in remembering that this same bunt call was made during the game yesterday?
I also think I remember sabes years ago decrying this strategy.
What am I missing?
