I think you fell victim to the fallacy of predetermined outcomes.

There is nothing fallacious about saying that Moreland was the prime culprit for 0 runs scored.

Yes I do. Especially when it doesn't hurt to put the DP back in play with Murphy coming up.

I can tell you firsthand that there is no difference in how you approach a hitter with a runner on 2nd or 3rd.

The DP comes back into play with a walk of Profar regardless of whether Rios is on 2nd or 3rd.

Is there a more boring play by play broadcaster in sports than Tom Grieve?

Assessing more blame on him is silly. All three had the same chance to get the runner in, and all failed to do so. No one is more culpable than the next.

I pray that this is not the broadcast team for next year. I won't be able to watch as many games.

I'm less likely to give Profar a good pitch to hit with a runner on 3rd and one out when I can try and make him get himself out with Murphy coming up.

Incorrect. Mitch's job as the first hitter up with a runner in scoring position and 0 outs is to at the very least move the runner to 3rd. That is baseball 101. He doesn't have to get a hit. The hitter with 2 outs does. It's simple fundamentals.

You will never learn to not run on Martin.
