Might want to have a refresher course on those rundown plays again.

 

Abreu looks really shaky out there.

 

Abreu? Everyone looked shaky there, starting with Beckham and ending with Alexei inexplicably throwing to third

Well, yeah.

 

Baseball 101. Run the baserunner back towards the base he came from, and don't give it up too early. And simultaneously watch the runner at 3rd from the corner of your eye and make sure he doesn't break for home.

 

Should always be no more than 2 throws and a tag.

 

Abreu shouldn't have kept following the runner while meandering in slow motion towards 2B, but Beckham and Ramirez are veterans and need to set the example for the rest of the team to follow.

Did you actually see the play? Because Abreu really wasnt at fault for what happened. The runner froze in front of Gordon and forced Abreu to chase him to begin the rundown after Gordon threw the ball

The MLB.com highlight picks up at the time that Abreu first has the ball, and before Ramirez ends up throwing to 3B to try to pick off Gonzalez (and that's only because the initial call was reversed that it was a highlight in the first place).

 

So all I'm seeing is a very hesitant Abreu running the baserunner a long ways in the wrong direction and seeming very indecisive about how long to hold onto the ball....hot potato feeling.

So you missed the beginning of the play, where it got messed up to begin with. Beckham put Abreu in a bad spot, he didnt really force the runner back, and gave it to Abreu and forced him to come up the line after the runner. Of course he was hesitant, he shouldnt have been there to begin with
