except running the bases. He's the worst base runner i've seen in awhile.

Also, i've been out of town this weekend, how much has JJ's new batting stance been discussed?

His knuckle change is a little off but the curve is unhittable

bad base runner? because of one incident? I've watched almost every game this year and last year and when I think of mason katz "bad base running" doesn't come to mind.

No he's not. Now, he got caught yesterday, but he's been great on the bases for a few years..

I've seen a lot worse base runners than Katz. He tried to get greedy for a double last night and got caught. What about the triple he stretched out last night? Wouldn't that be an example of good base running?

i didn't see 1 play of the game last night and I assume he was thrown out somewhere, but Mason is one of the most aggressive and successful base runners we have had in a few years. For a guy with average speed, he always looks to take the extra base and makes the right decision on the bases 9 out of 10 times.

We are so good that you found "bad base running" as something to complain about?

have to knock the best player in the nation for something I guess. Typical negatigers

I'm just trying to enjoy the hot streak because what he is doing is nothing short of amazing.

The double was a bad decision but I can't really blame him. You're up 9-0 at the time take a chance and try to up the pressure some more. It took a damn good throw to catch him as well

He's very aggressive. It does work from time to time i'll grant you that but he crosses the line between aggressive and just bad base running way more than acceptable.
