A Glasco coached team would have scored on that play. Just say’in.
Anyone watching the game saw the replay. Lada had made the turn and was well down the line when the ball went off the first baseman’s glove. Coaches are human and make mistakes. I’m with you Frenchie, in this instance if the coach actually held him to hold, it cost us the game. Oh well.
"How could Deggs have made him run faster"? I think you know that answer. Just checked the replay, Lada was 12+ feet pass third when the scramble for the ball at first. The pitcher got the ball on his knees who would have had to make the throw from his knees, and at that point Lada would have been at home. Check the replay. And again, Deggs job was Lada at second, not first base, which he was looking at.
The announcers expected Lada to keep going.
PBP Guy: "If you don't run and he's out at first, the game is over. What have you got to lose by running?"
Color guy: "Plus, to get the runner at home you need a LH pitcher to throw a strike from 100 feet, from his knees." If he makes the play, tip your cap.
If you are tied, maybe you place it safe. Two outs, down a run, I think you have to go. the chances of Brandon getting a base hit in that situation are maybe 1 in 10.
