Yeah, and if he pokes an 0-2 blooper into right field, we're down 2-0 and with the way the offense is going, that's a lot. A rundown is almost a sure out. You throw over every time. Dozier probably breaks for home and then the infielder throws there and you deal with the rundown there. I'm glad he got out of it, but absolutely inexcusable to just eat it and make no throw. The point of that was for Mauer to get into a run down for long enough to let the run score. With the hitter down 1-2 the Twins were willing to trade an out for a run. If anyone is smart enough to execute that properly it is Mauer (unlike Arcia was it for us that ended a game because he didnt stay in the rundown long enough?). Eating it is not the worst thing ever. It's not really up to Mauer, it's up to Dozier. When you see him break, throw home. It's an extremely fundamental defensive play that a professional baseball team should be able to execute. Like I said, agree to disagree. I'll put it this way, if you have to concede 2nd and 3rd every time you have 1st and 3rd with a certain pitcher on the mound, that's a problem.
