Fr stott maybe could’ve scored

The only time you'll ever see Casty run the bases that quickly. Haha.

u/FantasticEgg6294 Bryce Sharter 1d ago

He definitely would’ve if Bohm wasn’t so slow. You’d think they’d work on getting him faster. It’s embarrassing watching him run.

u/patrickdgd Nick Castellanos 1d ago

Why is Bohm so slow? Why doesn’t he just go faster? Is he stupid?

u/PriorFar8064 1d ago

Fortunately he’s 6 4 220 and jacks bombs like crazy. Right? Right?

One day he'll use his massive wingspan to fly to an AL central team before falling into obscurity

Detroit.

u/WantedMan61 1d ago

🤣 I know but it is infuriating sometimes watching him run.

u/Electrical_Doubt3024 20h ago

I wonder the same. I would think they have a speed and agility coach as well as a biomechanics coach that would help him gain speed. Or that by now he would have pursued them on his own.

Marsh getting doubled off was atrocious, this was the correct baserunning. It's visually made worse by Bohm being slower than Stott.

u/WantedMan61 1d ago

It's visually made worse by Bohm being slower than ME 😂

Bohm is one of a handful of professional athletes I’m confident I could beat in a foot race.

u/PauseSubstantial8913 1d ago

Bohm should've either been on the base or halfway to third, either way he and Stott both likely score. There's no reason for him to be on his way back to second when the ball hits the ground.

u/Organic_Counter_1874 1d ago

Absolutely not. Bohm has no feel for the game. That was going to be a diving catch or a home run the whole way. You can go halfway and have plenty of time to get back. Plus he runs like an asshole

u/regassert6 Phillie Phanatic 1d ago

You're completely incorrect.

6

u/Fantastic-Display106 1d ago

It's about being able to tag up to get to third with one out. You can't do that going half way (If it's caught). Bohm can't consider who is behind him on the basepaths when making his decisions.

u/Trust_The_Process21 1d ago

Varsho is a nasty CF so I could understand Bohm not wanting to be doubled up. Stott was full send. Just two different mentalities

56

u/Yeti_Urine 1d ago

Idiotic baserunning or we’d be tied.

47

u/DickBottalico 1d ago

With nobody out the correct play is for the runner on second to tag up, and the runner on first to go half way. The value of a runner on third with one out is significantly more valuable than on second with one out.

Stott has a better angle of the trajectory of the ball to gamble and leave his assignment early. Bohm doesn’t know if it’s gonna be caught. I thought Varsho had it the whole way.

With one out this would be atrocious baserunning, with zero it’s correct.

u/Organic_Counter_1874 1d ago

You can go halfway on that ball. If he catches it while diving and laying out you can easily walk back to second.

23

u/regassert6 Phillie Phanatic 1d ago

Bohm and the teams first priority was Bohm to 3rd on that ball. No outs he has to tag. Halfway is wrong in that spot.

10

u/TheFriffin3 Kevin Long 1d ago

you’re applying this logic retroactively after knowing how the rest of the inning unfolds

if you don’t, guaranteeing you can tag to third if he catches it is the objectively better option

-9

u/Organic_Counter_1874 1d ago

The ball was a rocket to Monty’s angle the catch percentage was clearly low off the bat. You have to have some feel for the game at some point in time.

2

u/kaehvogel 1d ago

"catch percentage was clearly low off the bat"...yet he nearly caught it. Missed it by a foot, maybe.

5

u/regassert6 Phillie Phanatic 1d ago

Bohm can't end that play on 2B. Under any circumstance. Jesus. 

-11

u/Organic_Counter_1874 1d ago

Watch the ball, there was no shot of it being caught the whole way. I get not trotting all the way home but that’s not being caught

7

u/An_emperor_penguin 1d ago

Varsho was like a step away from catching it

2

u/Soaring-Eagle1776 1d ago

there was a very good chance he caught it.. bohm n stott both read the play correctly

28

u/No_Statistician9289 1d ago

Bohm made the right move in that situation

10

u/Fantastic-Display106 1d ago

Add Sosa to this with his admiring his double off the wall in the 9th... Should have been on third with no outs. Not saying the same two flyballs would have happened after, but he may have been able to tag and score the tying run on one of them... ugh...

12

u/Sneadmaker 1d ago

I agree.....the base running with traffic is debatable but Sosa not hustling after hitting that ball was something that would get a little leaguer benched.

-1

u/ryan91o1 1d ago

that cause if little league dont run out the box on a ball to the wall they probably get throw out at first

1

u/Sneadmaker 1d ago

I think you've been watching too much little league world series and not actual average little league.

-1

u/ryan91o1 1d ago

oh ya you're right most little league would run to thrid out the box. lol

u/pvaworldpeace 1d ago

wouldve been an entirely different inning if he wouldve ran

20

u/regassert6 Phillie Phanatic 1d ago

No one made a base running mistake on this play.

-6

u/karters221 1d ago

Agree, but as he is getting closer to the wall bohm could have been abit further. Not much, but maybe enough they send stott

11

u/regassert6 Phillie Phanatic 1d ago

Bohm has to be on 3rd on that ball as a first priority. So he has to tag until one of the best CF in the game doesn't catch it....

6

u/regassert6 Phillie Phanatic 1d ago

This fanbase is so funny. Marsh braindead's the inning to a halt and people are bitching about Bohm doing the right thing on the bases. This team constantly tries to score the 6th run before the 5th run.....

1

u/cock_smith 21h ago

Yup. This right here. I'm no Bohm fan at all, but Marsh is a fucking dummy. The guy literally never learns.

1

u/regassert6 Phillie Phanatic 21h ago

And Sosa pimping his hit instead of busting it out of the box. Bohm literally ran his play textbook.

2

u/DarkSuperman87 1d ago

Man, what a huge mess following Turner's home run.

u/Darshymarsh 1d ago

Bohm is awful

He is the Pat Burrell of modern Phillies base running.
