Bottom 1, 2 out, Cobb at 3rd, M. Moore at 1st, Nati batting. Why in the world would you put on a double steal? Result: 3 outs, 0 runs. Are the coaches panicking?

Luv ya, Tony, but that play works quite often. We do better with that play than with bunting (though I realize you are also not a fan of bunting).

I agree re bunting. But consider the situation. Team lost 3 in a row, 4 out of the last 5. Bottom 1, team down 3-0. Seems to me the double steal is kind of a statement of lack of confidence in the team. Discussion welcome (of course).
