Interesting that after drafting a C and C/1B in the first two rounds, we went with 8 consecutive college RHP to round out our first 10 selections.

That was the most boneheaded base running you’ll see at any level. Down 4 runs in the 9th. Twins need a big rally. First 3 guys get hits! Okay here go.

Oops check that. Two guys get thrown out on the base paths in one play and suddenly it’s two outs and one on…in a situation where station to station running would have been just fine and there was zero reason to take chances.

Brooks Lee caused it by going for a double. "Ran with his head down." He forgot the guys on base had to stay back in case it was caught (which it almost was). Atteberry called it "Bad News Bears." Yup,

Yep. He passed the runner in front of him. A clear sign Lee wasn't paying attention. Instead of bases loaded with nobody out, he caused a chain reaction that left one on and two out.
