Many are saying “if Gunnar was there faster they would’ve had Pete at first easily.” Which is very true! But at least you’d make them throw the ball
Also, end doesn’t justify the means. The runner should be 110% no matter if the AB ended in a K, BB, HR, single, pop out, anything
I might be completely wrong here (wouldn’t be the first time), and I fully realize Alonso smoked this ball. But I feel like with it being 3-2, two outs, runners in motion on delivery … both of these runners should be closer to the next base than they are when the ball is fielded
