Andrew McCutchen hurts one knee in a stupid, dilapidated, unfair and stupid dilapidation

If a player is to be injured on goals, you prefer that he come from the hat trick, the catcher in a catcher or the winding of an arm around a middle player. on a first slide at second base. A perfectly useless and avoidable clash between the top two places is by no means a knee-jerk opportunity, as the Phillies are likely to discuss Monday's game against the Padres.

At the beginning of the first run, Jean Segura came up slightly on the right side of the infield. Padres' second baseman, Ian Kinsler, installing under the ball, noticed that Segura, who had put a bad shot on the ball and lost balance after touching, was making no real effort to jostle. the first baseline. An infield popup with a runner first – in this case the Phillies' leader, Andrew McCutchen – gives the defensive player the choice of the player to whom to clear the goals, but if the batter does not run to first base, it is a double tailor-made game. So, Kinsler dropped the ball and threw the ball first, putting McCutchen in a dead end. McCutchen goes into serious disrepair, instead of accepting the double game while glancing at his teammate, makes what happened even more painful:

The ball baseball rule applies only if there are runners in first and second (or first, second and third), in part because in most cases, leaving only one rider first drops a launcher. Only Segura who came out from the back managed a double game and set up this sequence. It's a smart Kinsler game, though the result is extremely crappy.

The Phillies have indicated that they would not update McCutchen's condition until the end of the match, which is usually not what you expect from them before the good news. Let's hope that McCutchen's reward of being trapped between a cheeky intimate player and a clumsy teammate is not particularly serious.
