And now Peña absolutely botches the most routine of weakly hit ground balls because he still struggles with moments of 'hack'. He goes for a back-hand grab inexplicably and caroms the ball into shallow LF. That has to be gathered clean when your relief arm is mired in a meltdown. He continues to botch routine plays while a certain young man hasn't received a single opportunity at 2B since his call-up. 8-4 T-Rats trail.
Now, these are soft hits, mind you.
AND, Dinges back pick airmails a throw into RF. Amazing. Another run crosses. Nicasia over runs it. They manage to miraculously get the runner at home plate.
That inning is this 2025 second half T-Rats quagmire in a nutshell. Lazy sloppy play and a whole lot of bad luck intermingled with the ugly.
