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.

Ravech, 61, has been the lead play-by-play voice on ESPN’s Major League Baseball coverage, hosted “Baseball Tonight,” called college basketball and was a longtime “SportsCenter” anchor. Ravech, who joined the network in 1993, called Monday’s Phillies-Dodgers game in Philadelphia.
