Nice inning except for the caught stealing. I think this is why we see less and less steal attempts in MLB, especially in the AL. The risk/reward is questionable. Had Acuna stayed put we'd have 3 runs and only one out with Inciarte up. The sac bunt is another option that teams are reconsidering as to its ultimate benefit. I believe there are times for both and times to abstain from both.

Aaaaannnnddd we're right back to the "give the runs right back" routine. Is there a stat that shows the number of runs a team gives right back? If there is, I bet we lead the league. This has been going on for too long, now.

Good grief, Ender catches the fly and throws to third and the runner on first easily goes to 2nd.

Newk doesn't seem to have that "life" on his fastball today. A lot of hard hit balls. Seems to be throwing a lot of change up's and curve balls too so maybe he realizes the fastball isn't there today.

Geez Louise! Acuna is a beast since going to the leadoff spot! Another hr (two run) for the guy makes it 4-2. Maybe Newk can hold it this time.
