Yeah I saw that. Probably afraid of getting doubled off by a line drive to 3rd but you have to take that chance as a ground ball to somewhere is a far more likely scenario
A lot less “we should just have as much light in the evening as possible all year long” discourse this year. Probably bc you have other stuff to worry about but I like to believe they realize it’s an anti-science do-what-I-want-who-cares-about-you MAHA position
NatsChat comments section had it first

It's been this way for years but managers reluctance to be aggressive on the base paths coupled with old-time thinking about bunt strategy consistently puts their teams in bad positions. Giving up outs to put pressure on themselves instead of sacrificing outs to try to put pressure on other team.
Me typing "you gotta send the runner to avoid the DP" as he tops over that ball
My eternal call...

SUICIDE SQUEEZE LET'S GOOOOO
<Barger hits a HR>

I guess it was the right move?
If the Blue Jays come back I'd like someone to ask Schneider "we talked about how all off-season you guys were resilient and backed each other up. How come they didn't tonight?"
for a runner not in scoring position and didn't steal!
Rojas ran that one out with the energy of "look I did my job"
ok I'm done with my junk email review. Someone can win the game now.
YAY! UNECESSARY REPLAY BECAUSE THEY CAN CALL FOR IT FOR THE HELL OF IT!
Kikè was doing what exactly there? Like that was a completely trash defense save by his CF.

See Straw there... that's how you handle a deep fly ball! You should know that.
I was completely wrong - it was bases loaded and one-out. I apologize
Gonna watch the Blue Jays get 2nd and 3rd no-one out and not score aren't we?
It was cool getting him at the plate but if they were playing normal D that's an easy DP.
Only way this can end

- Walk off balk
You don't bring in the fast runner and not steal but this is modern baseball so who the hell knows
Would have been 1st and 2nd...
<Pushes up glasses>

Why are they playing Vivaldi's "Winter" for the Fall Classic?
Gonna watch the Blue Jays get 2nd and 3rd no-one out and not score aren't we?
Miguel. Miggy. Miggy Rojas
