Brandon Phillips Double Steal
[ QUOTE ]
Nationals first baseman Dmitri Young held Phillips on the base while the rest of the defense shifted over one position, leaving third baseman Ryan Zimmerman in the position normally occupied by the shortstop. Phillips noticed this formation often, and had been plotting to steal two bases at just the right opportunity. Phillips took off to steal second base, which he did without a throw from the Nationals. He then turned toward third and hustled toward the base before the Nationals could adjust to what was happening. [/ QUOTE ] http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=...sp&c_id=mlb Top 4th: Cincinnati - J. Keppinger singled to right center - K. Griffey Jr. grounded into double play first to third, J. Keppinger out at second - B. Phillips singled to right center - B. Phillips stole third - A. Dunn flied out to deep right center The video is on the MLB.com front page but the video is not on youtube yet. I'll try to post it once it gets there. How baller is this? Has anyone ever heard of anything else similar? |

Re: Brandon Phillips Double Steal
Pedroia went first to third on a cleanly fielded walk last night.
[ QUOTE ] Pedroia tried to hustle the Red Sox into a scoring opportunity in the bottom of the inning. The rookie second baseman hit a one-out single and Ortiz followed with a walk. Catcher Ramon Hernandez took a couple of steps toward the mound after ball four and Pedroia never stopped running, moving all the way to third. [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: Brandon Phillips Double Steal
Seems to only count as a single SB. At least I only got one in my fantasy leagues.

Re: Brandon Phillips Double Steal
Yahoo only has it counting as 1, but Elias is calling it 2. Probably will get changed retroactively.

Re: Brandon Phillips Double Steal
hmmmm... There have been cases where a stolen base is not awarded because the defense allowed it to happen without a throw, ect...
Maybe this is one of those? |
