Can we knock it off??
Yes when Ron Roenicke was hired he vowed to be aggressive on the basepaths and manufacture runs by taking extra bases.
It isn't working.
Yes, the stolen bases have been good at 61/81, over 75% no problem with that.
The rest of it is garbage. Saturday night's game in San Francisco showed just how bad this team is on the bases. Rickie Weeks thrown out at home. Casey McGehee falls for the fake throw to 2nd and gets picked off at 3rd. MLB.com hilariously describes this as Casey McGehee caught stealing home which would be even worse. Seriously that play never worked when I played little league many moons ago. 11 year olds don't fall for that. Nyjer Morgan tries to take 3rd with Braun at the plate and 2 outs.
Ok, enough.
Enough with the "aggressive" baserunning. Feel free to tell the guys to stay put Ed Sedar. This team has a good enough offense, stop giving up stupid outs running the bases.
