The effect of steals on a game is very overrated. I’m sure I read that somewhere.
Wow. Aledmys on the spot!
Sure if there is no difference between one run and two.
That was interesting

What Bagwell brings to the booth - predicting the attempted steal of home…
He saw the discussion b/t Taylor and the 3B ump, whether an altered delivery on a steal attempt would be a balk…
Great play by Diaz.
I’m kind of surprised they didn’t challenge whether the tag was on time, because I’m not sure it was.
Taylor never even touched it I don’t think.
Clearly out by a lot. Great block by Castro, imo.
I’m surprised no one had tried that on Garcia before now.
I assume the conversation at the plate was about Castro’s block of the baseline?
It was about Garcia speeding up his motion.
Well, there’s my hit w/RISP.
There’s an issue with the pitcher speeding up his motion?
I’m guessing that’s what Matheny was asking about. Did he break from his usual motion. Either that or asking if Castro stepped in front of the plate before catching the pitch.
If you have the ball, surely you can block the plate? Can’t you?
I figured that was the obvious thing for the KCA’s manager to argue about.
