Levine reporting Robin has been asked to be more hands on by the front office, whatever that means.

From what Levime wrote, there willl be fewer guys with green lights, things like that. Makes me think this new policy may have been the reason Eaton held up at secomd the other night on a sure triple.
The other thing I noticed is Robin usually only goes to the mound to take someone out. He has been out there twice on this homestand with no pitchimg change. May be a coincidence.

Heres the FULL article.
A lot more info. I suppose reading between the lines too much attention is being given to Micah and not nearly enough to the outfield and catching.
The whole thing about the "green light" being removed is it will cause hesitancy and even more mistakes on the basepaths as players start running not to make mistakes instead of being aggressive and making opposing defenses beat them with great plays (by exerting pressure.)
It's one part of the reason Eaton, Garcia, Micah, Alexei and Cabrera are having little impact on the basepaths.
