I am just sitting down to watch the 'calamitous' 8th inning. BUT, as it pertains to Baez, my main contention I struggle with as someone who (much like yourself) has seen the majority of his full-season tilts: he rarely rarely ever just takes what is given or what is the safe sensible play. He is an over-aggressive player to a fault. If he took the out at 1B there, then the HBP to the next batter merely loads them full. You've sacrificed the lead, sure, but you are thinking of the game as a whole not the 'hero' moment. I'll have to see the inning myself now to form a better feel of the situation as a whole.
