Maybe he's gotten better since donning a SF Giants uniform, but I have nightmares about Angel Pagan running the bases when he was on the Mets. He would always get picked off, but it wouldn't even be close, like he'd be on 2nd base, starting off into outer space and the pitcher would effortlessly turn around, throw the ball and the middle INF would apply the tag before Angel even realized he needed to step back towards 2nd.
Or on any fly ball, he would go halfway down the line and would never, EVER tag up and score or take 3rd via a Sac Fly. Just the worst baserunning instincts I've ever seen, but to be fair, I haven't seen him play in person regularly in a few years.

that last blunder in the 10th...where he rounds 3rd...and just falls down. He's been dealing with injuries lately, but I made the same observation recently. A few weeks ago a fielder was covering first in an awkward position and Pedroia slowed down and ran into him, tumbled over and laid there face down in the dirt. He was out by a mile so the contact was totally unnecessary. Maybe just jump over the guy on the ground in front of you? Ok your knee hurts...so jog to the right of the bag. Why on Earth would you bowl into a guy for no reason whatsoever, especially if you're already hurt? It was perhaps the least athletic thing I've ever seen at the professional level. |

If I remember, the Red Sox announcers said the team has made 30 outs on the basepaths this season. That's ridiculous.
