Tibbs is battling Gastelum....long AB brewing

long fly out to deep RF...onto the track. Tibbs was all over Gastelum that AB.

[Hoosier59]

Baez aggressive on a ball that barely gets away from the Catcher...lunging tag gets him out at the plate.

after I call him a "smart baserunner"

Close play though. Shows he’s aggressive and not timid! Hopefully Oli isn’t around to break him of that when he gets to St. Louis.

we always have to remember....all these bases that the minor league guys swipe, they're held up by the Major League coaching staff b/c of Analytics.... Scott stole around 100 bases in 2023.
