[QUOTE="BrewingFrog, post: 2993840, member: 28"] I drew a distinction between "aggressive" and "dumb." You keep pressing that "aggressive=dumb" and I do not agree that that is the case. Being aggressive is not the same as casting all reason to the winds and hoping for the best. Hope is not a plan. Being aggressive is nothing without being smart in how you [I]apply[/I] that aggression. I believe the fancy term is Principle of Calculated Risk. In the example of the TOOTBLAN in question, he wasn't going to make the base, and his attempt to do so cost a run. It could be that the fielder had loafed a throw or two early on, and they thought there was an advantage to be gained, but that was not the case. Nor did our runner tagging from 3rd, who loafed in to the plate instead of scooting and didn't score before the TOOTBLAN, losing the run. Evidently there was no coordination on the tag-up, and the runner from 3rd wasn't aware that he needed to scoot. Again, I am not averse to taking risks. I just don't like dumb mistakes. [/QUOTE]
