GDT: 8/28 Braves @ Phillies - Jackie Robinson Day

The steal wasn't worth the risk. A fly ball with 1 out scores the run. Not to mention as others said it takes the bat out of Acuña's hands.

I believe it was...Hechaveria sucks...You do what you can to eliminate the extra opportunities to end the inning with one swing.
 
To stay out the double play...Parker is extremely slow to the plate...I like the call...

I think you're in a very, very small minority. Maybe it's a good idea without the runner on 2nd rule, but with the runner on 2nd rule....YOU NEED TO GET AT LEAST ONE RUN to protect yourself, and the best way to get one is NOT to run to stay out of a DP, but to let one of your best hitters hit.

Risking being thrown out and relying on replay which can be inaccurate before Acuna can come to the plate is galaxy braining to me.

I hope Ender went on his own, because that was a dumb decision.
