Mclouth and the lack of stolen bases.

Whats up fellas been real busy lately. Only good thing about it is I havent been able to focus too much on this end season collapse.

Just one thing I noticed and was wondering if anyone knew a reason or thoughts on it...

Why did we stop running Nate?

April: 8 sb 1 cs
May: 9 sb 0 cs
June: 7 sb 3 cs
July: 1 sb 1 cs
Aug: 4 sb 1 cs
Sep: 1 sb 1 cs


24 sb by the end of june.....then 6 for the last 3 months...Did the 3 cs's in June scare off Buck? Did I miss something? I know his avg and obp dropped but not low enough where he only had 9 attempts

the team in general stopped being aggressive after the Allstar break. Very little movement during the pitch after the break.

not to mention his OBP dropped by over 50 points in the 2nd half of the season...

all in all they seemed like they stopped having fun the 2nd half...when they were having fun everybody was stealing bases it seemed...once they stopped running their offense looked dead
