Then why did he sprint AFTER the infielder bobbled the play?
Running 90 feet over 3 seconds is dangerous to his health, but running 45 feet for 1.5 seconds is not?
The "cover story" is complete nonsense.
Winn blew it and The Marmot didn't have the integrity to say so.
Neither did the broadcasters.

I'll give you credit, nobody doubles down on stupid like you do

If Winn has been ordered to jog to 1b as the broadcast team stated Marmol claimed, why did he suddenly sprint when the infielder bobbled the game?
We both know why - though you are not honest enough to admit it.
Winn's own behavior proves he recognized his lazy blunder.
And later, the manager and broadcast team covered for him.

He plays a lot, he dives for balls, he never gives away an at bat, but hey, it's 90+ out side with humidity so thick you could cut it with a knife and no understanding form some of you. "He didn't run as hard as I think he should have!" Get a life.

This. A certain group needs a player to hound. I'm sure they all are exemplary employees at work.

They quoted The Marmot as claiming Winn was merely following the orders of the coaching staff, essentially saying the staff wants him to jog to 1B (and take other plays off as well) because they rely on him so heavily.
According to the reporting, because he plays so many innings, because the season is long, because it is hot, because they want him to protect his lower body, he has been told to save his energy, and to "save his bullets" for when needed.
Two points.
It is disgusting that the broadcasters know full well this is complete nonsense and that Winn has been given no such instruction - and not only reported it but defended it as being smart and necessary.
Flat out telling the audience something they did not believe; something antithetical to how the game should be played.
Zero integrity.
Two, neither Marmol nor the staff have told Winn any such thing.
It is obvious The Marmot anticipated the question and rather than telling the truth ("Winn's lack of effort was not acceptable and we have talked about that"), he had devised a long, detailed, nonsensical story designed to protect his player from criticism.
Just the latest in an unending list of examples as to why the man should be fired.

I saw Pujols jog to 1B. I saw Molina jog to 1B.

His players would disagree with you. But what do you care?

It's a long season and the dog days are just starting. Donovan if folks didn't notice "trotted" down the line too as did others.

Some common sense please.

I hate it when I have to run hard 90 feet 3 or 4 times a day, it's so hard. Big leaguers aren't paid enough to do that.

It's no surprise you miss the point completely.

Coach my (donkey). You never coached a day in your life.

You are an angry old man who thinks his opinion is the only one that counts. BTW, did you see the bunt in the 11th? Barerro didn't get picked off after the
batter didn't bunt on the first pitch, then easily went to third on the next bunted pitch without a play. That's the way it's supposed to work. Have a nice day and tell those kids to get off your lawn.

So I was right. You never coached and full of [shirt] to boot.

Morons like you believe because you have an opinion that it can't be wrong.

Stick to your knee jerk reactions and leave the thinking to the adults.

As for Marmol’s explanation it was lame. But he had to say something and didn’t want to throw his player under the bus as he has done in the past!
The announcers? That was lame also. Funny....when it happened they were critical of Winn.
Winn actually came up big after the play.
Move on!
