April 10, 2021 – Hit To The Pitcher

Hit to the pitcher
no one covering second
and a runner scores.

Inspiration: Braves benefit from blunder in win over Phils

I’m a Braves fan, so I was watching this game when it happened. Freddie Freeman hit the ball right back to the pitcher, who turned around to throw to second base. But no one was covering second, because the second baseman was running towards the mound to back up the pitcher. José Alvarado turned back around to throw the ball home, but he was too late — Ehire Adrianza was already scoring a run. Good playing all around for the Braves, and the mistake may have cost the Phillies the game.
