Reply to "Some "Runner at 3rd" situational discussion"

As far as runners at 1st/3rd are concerned, I'm not interested in trying to "force" that runner at third to score on that play. I am not trying to trade a runner at first and third with one out for a runner at second with two outs (because my runner at third got hosed at home). Seen it too many times and how it could completely deflate the teams/rally. I would take my chances trying to straight steal runner at first, and either get a ball launched to CF, or have MIF cut and then we have runners camped at 2nd and 3rd still with one out. IF by chance they cut down the runner trying to steal second, I say good job to them. Most cases, however, the defense will make a mistake and we get a stolen base and/or a run out of the situation.
