Perlozzo: why didn't you send Ichiro?

Apologies 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]

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.

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.

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

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.

No morphin, just whuppin!

We have the combined strength of 30 men.

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.
