Oliver Perez is an asshole

Morgan Ensberg is sick.

And he uses big red letters.

I love articles I totally agree with.
The one's I don't agree with, I don't read.
Hey, wait, wha?

This is gold....it's a bizarre way to write an article . I can only imagine the dinner table at his house, him instructing his kids must be hilarious.

That's a good question. I enjoy having average Major League speed.

Scenario: You are the runner on 2nd base and there is 1 out. The score is 3 to 3 and it is the 4th inning. A fly ball is hit to right center field and the right fielder will attempt to catch the ball. As a runner you have average Major League speed. If you choose to tag, you will be safe at 3rd base, but you will have to slide. The next batter up hits in 7th in your lineup and he is a career .250 hitter with 10 HR�s and 60 RBI�s. What do you do and why?

I think I'm going to go for it.

Why wouldn't you? You "know" you're going to be safe, so that will leave you on third base with two outs. You can score on a booted grounder, or a passed ball, or a wild pitch, or a balk.

Why not take that base?

Because there's a wacky, unwritten rule about it?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think he expected the reader to overthink and read past the guaranteed-to-be-safe line.

Of course you go. The only reason not to is if this is the National League and they feel like walking both the seventh and eighth batters to get to the pitcher. But that's sort of a damn weak reason not to go.

Why would he throw in the "you'll have to slide" comment? Fear of injury?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think it was misdirection.

OE: Look at how many respondents don't seem to have read the guarantee.

OEE: What seems to be in some degree of doubt is if the rightfielder will catch the ball.

I need more info about the quality of the rightfielder. Is it Ichiro or Francoeur out there?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Who's pitching for the bad guys makes a great deal of difference, too.

If he throws strikes, pitches to contact, it's almost immaterial whether you're on second or third with two out. If he's a guy who works around the zone, will waste a pitch or two, throws a severely-breaking curve or splitter, or is a knuckleballer... maybe being on third is more likely to yield some benefit.

Is this the Oliver Perez is an Asshole thread?
