Why was a slow dude like Lobaton so far off the base anyway?
The only way for the Nats to win this game is via the home run. Any baserunner is just a liability at this point.
Rizzo wasn't covering the bag and he wasn't that far off. He got back in time, but his foot came off the bag for half a second. The distance he was off the base was fine but you know the catcher back picks a lot so as soon as the pitch crosses the base you have to get back quickly not sit and watch and then go if he starts to throw.
