Totally agree. If they pick the right to pitch to run on they'll likely get a stolen base. While the pitcher has to worry about the runner the focus should always be on getting the batter out. While every play (or more likely their parent) cares about stats the purpose is to win the game.Why is the pitch calling lacking? You're not allowed to throw off speed with a runner on first??? Batter was at 0-1 and it seems like the pitch call was low and away based upon DD's move out during the pitch.
I don't know, seems like a pretty good pitch call considering the count..
