In hindsight, everyone knows it was extremely risky to send him home on a pop up...especially at the major league level where you can count on routine plays being made 90 plus percent of the time. No, it wasn't a routine play, but the odds are stilll slim to none of it being successful.
The Rangers want to be aggressive and that's admirable, but this was so over aggressive that it's almost surreal that it was even attempted. I've seen more sensible scenes in a David Lynch movie. I don't even think he would've scripted it.
To put it bluntly, gambling on a play like this is at this level, is the equivalent of putting a NASCAR in a demolition derby and expecting little damage. That being said, here's hoping something good comes out of this for both Josh Hamilton and Third Base Coach Dave Anderson.
