Burrell always looking to walk. But in this case I don't think he could hit a 100 mph fast ball.

The contact play is over-rated.

I think you have to go on contact there. Even though the infield was in, you have to make sure the inning doesnt end in a double play.

In general though, the contact play is over-rated.

The players are essentially playing catch, and it rarely ever works.

But again, I dont think the idea is to expect to score there.  I mean, you can always hope for a bad throw. But you have to send him to stay out of the double play.  Its more about keeping the inning alive than expecting it to result in a run.

You go on contact because they were going to have a runner in scoring position anyways. With two outs, you need a hit to score anyways.
