Very often in the game of baseball, the runner is told to go on ground ball contact. Sometimes there are stipulations like, go on the ground ball everywhere except to the pitcher. Those are often times automatic outs. I don’t have issues with the call to go. A lot of the issues I have with this Jay Johnson coached teams is the lack of coaching that appears to be put into base running/leads/secondary leads. So many nuance areas of the game can be improved to affect the outcome. Had Morgan had a better secondary lead off of the base and lack of hesitation to go home, he would have scored. These are things that get ingrained in practice.

I have no problem with him going but not with 1st and third with no outs. I would rather try for a sac fly or a hit to the right side or to the middle infielders. Live to fight another day. Chicken is right though in this case Morgan would have been caught in a rundown because of where the ball was hit. It was just a bang bang play that didn’t go in our favor. One other thing I don’t believe in looking back to get in the line of the throw. That slows you down. If you are going to run there can be zero hesitation.
