Yeah, what was he thinking?   Did he think he was going to tag and go to 3B on a shallow liner to LF?   That is atrocious base running but he’s playing great otherwise.

He cost Mountcastle a hit (which he desperately needs right now). But other than that he had a great game, so I’m not going to kill him too much.

We should talk more about what a good player Cedric has become. Since 2021, only 21 position players have been more valuable per Fangraphs. He's ahead of guys like Devers, Guerrero Jr., Trout, Alonso,

Well, time to check out everyone's reaction to Mullins's great day today...

Since 2021 (26-28 yr), Mullins has slashed .273/.341/.459/.800 (122 OPS+) and has been worth 10.4 rWAR and fWAR. His defense this year has ben a little down from last year, but I think his numbers are

He thought is was going to be caught, obviously.

Ok. But he went all the way back to the bag instead of hanging about 20 feet off the bag.   He would have been able to get back to the bag if it was caught or to 3B if it wasn't.  Awful baserunning!  Instead of bases loaded and 0 outs it was 1st and 2nd with one out.  Mistakes like that lose games.

Maybe Ced was getting back at Mountcastle for the team after he cost us a few outs this series.

You could see the look on Mountcastle's face after Mullins was forced out at third.  He really wanted that hit for his stat line.

Maybe he wanted the bases to remain loaded, to increase the chances of scoring more runs.

Perhaps.  I can't help but think he really wanted that base hit, coming off a 1 for 15 stretch.   Did not mean it as an insult.

I noticed the stink eye too - natural human reaction in the moment.     Fodder for Kathryn Rowe to help keep growing the mindset it doesn't matter his OBP is .240 something, it only matters he scorched that ball.

I don't know whether Kathryn goes to the Arb hearings.

Keep hitting the ball so hard as to befuddle baserunner's senses, Ryan!

I think his initial instinct was that the ball might be caught.

This is what I was saying yesterday. To elaborate, he's off 2nd, thinks it's going to get caught, starts back to the bag and when he realizes it's not going to be caught, it's too late. Didn't the LF immediately catch off the bounce and throw to 3B?

I also think the timing of the camera angle switching was off, like the camera's weren't in synch which makes it seem like he was really late running to 3rd.

Great to see Mullins bust out a little bit. Suddenly his line looks a lot more Mullins-like: .250/.375/.792 OPS

Yes, he certainly got turned around quickly.  Hopefully Santander and Gunnar will follow suit.

I get that but he looked like he was going back to tag.   I guess maybe he thought he could go to 3rd if they overthrow the cutoff man.  I'm not sure.   Where that ball was hit, there is no way even a fast runner could tag and get to 3rd with any kind of decent throw.

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.

      Elias: It's on me

      Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.

      Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are.

      I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.

      Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
