Yahoo Sports Julio Rodriguez made the dumbest baserunning error while dodging a flying bat
The Seattle Mariners are in the thick of a hyper-competitive AL Wild Card race, but they've had two baserunning blunders to forget against the Yankees.
The first was Victor Robles trying to steal home on a 3-0 count earlier this week. The second came on Wednesday thanks to Julio Rodriguez.
J-Rod was on third in the 10th inning when Randy Arozarena struck out and his bat went flying out of his hands toward Rodriguez. The outfielder ran to get out of the way of the bat ... but the ball was still very much live. A throw to third and Rodriguez was out. Inning over, and the Yankees would go on to win.
OUCH.
Julio Rodriguez with the dumbest base runner play I’ve ever seen.
Victor Robles yesterday is now 2nd.
