Perlozzo: why didn't you send Ichiro?

PrintApologies if this was covered elsewhere, but why in the world did Perlazzo hold Ichiro at third base on Sunday? It was 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th, Ichiro represents a KEY insurance run, and he's off on contact when Lopez doubled into the corner. I'm watching on TV, and see the ball hit off two walls, and then the RF has a tiny bit of trouble picking it up. With Ichiro flying from first, I thought there was 100% chance he'd score on the play, but he's held up at 3rd....
Did anyone who went to the game see why he was held?
After all the "aggressive baserunning" talk this year, this sure seems like the defining situation where you should be aggressive, yet he's held up.
What is Perlazzo thinking?
[Edit: It's Eddie Rodriguez who's coaching third now, since Perlazzo's surgery]

Is Perlazzo back from his knee surgery yet?
I like midgets more than I should.
I can't remember who replaced him,
but I’m pretty sure that’s who’s coaching third right now.
I like midgets more than I should.
I'm excited for the battle of the Brians
Where’s BrianL?
It'll be almost as good as the battle of the Jose Lopez Fans

We might be able to get some confused fans of Jose Yepez

We will treat him like an adopted brother
either that or an unwanted foster child.

We don't need to battle for Jose Lopez
only embrace the awesomeness that is his empty batting average. And 4th in the AL 53 hits.

BrianF

Okay, it's Eddie Rodriguez
Sorry, I don’t tend to watch the injury reports on coaches (grin).
I was at the game
and all I saw was disappointment and dishonor that Ichiro was held up. Like Ichiro said a few weeks back, the play needs to be made at home plate.
here i am and here i go

BrianB?
I’m so confused.
...and now I'm here
Actually, per user profiles,
BrianB has been here since Mar 22, 07 and BrianF has been here since Apr 23, 05
Thus you are the last Brian. But the most active one. WAR!!!!

Oh god dammit.
I can’t believe I have to resort to a post-count to try and assert my superiority.
Good to hear
Love your description, it’s exactly what I imagined… Given the situation, it seems crazy beyond belief he was held up.
With three of us...
...we should unite and fight our common enemy: Bavasi.
Like the Brian Rangers or something?
It’s morphin’ time!
by seattlebruin on May 20, 2008 9:51 AM PDT up reply actions
No morphin, just whuppin!
We have the combined strength of 30 men.
Okay, you create a diversion...
... we’ll sneak attack.
We'll just use the LL beer fund to buy you guys some zords
and the Fans of Jose Lopez support you as well. As long as the new GM doesn’t get rid of Loafie. Then there must be another, much bloodier, coup.
