Disgusting baseball

What just happened?

No outs, 1st and 2nd. Weeks up to bat.

Segura on 2nd, Braun on 1st. Segura picked off runs back to 2nd, Braun is tagged out and segura runs back to first.

He had already stole 2nd once and then gets thrown out trying a second time. Weeks strikes out.

Maybe a sac bunt would have been better....

That was weird. Segura actually is credited with stealing 1st base. It's a legal play. Initially they said it should have been a double play. Glad it didn't cost them because they were prime for some insurance runs.

Who said it was legal? TV guys were quoting a rule of going back to second, that never discussed going back one base. Roenicke said I don't think that was legal.

A) he isn't a # 4 hitter and B) they are up 1 in the bottom of the 8th. I believe there are several teams that would bunt (maybe not with a prince fielder #4 hitter but I bet Larussa would have).

Let me gets this straight, he was credited with stealing a base that he already had obtained yearly in the inning?

Sounds like padding the stats to me

According to the box score he was only credited with one stolen base. It would have been neat if he had been safe on his 2nd attempt to steal second base.

Braun or Lucroy needs to be moved into #4 spot till Ramirez gets back.Oh and by the way I could care less what LaRussa would of done,should not have to bunt in that situation with 4,5,6 hitters coming up.

They later cited the rule book that it was legal with the way it happened. The TV guys.

I know, and that did not apply in my opinion.
