Now emelie this is the time for a squeeze play

There is one-out, the count is 1-1, and the pitcher and position players will be not as “On” where the pitcher will want to get a strike, can Harden lay one down.

Now this is the problem-—Soriano is up after Harden so he is run producer—-but my guess is if the count goes 2-1 Piniella might think about it.

Or the Cubs could go with a safety squeeze which is different than a suicide squeeze

Why would you mention small sample size, and then not look at all the data you do have? He has had exactly one at bat decided in a 3-1 count this year. “Small” doesnt even describe it.
