Basepath Blunders
A reader from NY writes:
You might want to say something about the Yankee baserunning tonight. It's only the 4th inning and Jorge Posada has been thrown out foolishly trying to stretch a double, Williams didn't score from third on a weak bouncer, Nick Johson and Soriano have been caught in rundowns and Soriano was thrown out on an ill-advised steal of third with Johnson hitting with a 2-0 count.
I didn't see much of this, but I saw the end of the Johnson run down, and didn't think it was his fault, and he did stay in it long enough for Jeter to reach second. Soriano is fast, but he's never impressed me with his intelligence on the basepaths.
