IDK whether the 3B retreated back by design or if Chase was misreading it all the wayHe also didn't retreat very quickly. He kept his secondary until after the catcher threw through instead of immediately retreating when the batter didn't offer. Not sure what he was waiting for, because he didn't get either a big lead, nor a running lead.
12 hours ago12 hr Imagine how pissed Mariners are as a team with playoff and even WS aspirations. We were expected to win 65 games or so.
12 hours ago12 hr Sox entered this game 24th in baserunning value per FG's metrics. That's a combination of the bases you gain from speed/wiliness, the bases lost due to speed/stupidity, stolen bases, etc. Colson and Mune the lowest value baserunners; Acuna, Peters, and Vargas most valuable.

If it was a right-handed batter I'd think maybe he was somewhat screened from seeing the ball but he should have had a great look at it all. Just a brain fart I guess.
12 hours ago12 hr All I can say is thank god the Mariners offense has been bad. Feels like we could have easily have been swept

12 hours ago12 hr So far I think only once this inning did the hitter know that the slider was a slider and that was the time that Acuna took it outside for a ball. Maybe Mune was finally with it by the time he was swinging 3-2.
12 hours ago12 hr I hope that at least lasted long enough to keep Brash from coming out for a second inning.
12 hours ago12 hr Don't know why you let Acuna lead-off ahead of your best hitters there. Then again not sure why hes on the team.
