Part of the reason why these mistakes keep happening is because guys are trying to make the spectacular play instead of just taking the sure out. Had Santana not thrown that ball, only one run scores.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Santana did have a chance to get the runner from third with a good throw. But he rushed it, and now we have a one run game.

Alfaro

Ball (91.5 mph sinker)
Called strike (83.8 mph slider)
Foul (91.5 mph sinker)
In play, out(s) (92.4 mph sinker)

Jorge Alfaro grounds out sharply, shortstop Trea Turner to first baseman Ryan Zimmerman.

[ButlerBulldog]

Santana did have a chance to get the runner from third with a good throw. But he rushed it, and now we have a one run game.

I like Santana, but he’s made it hard to justify his presence on this team with his recent struggles. I’d much rather see Hoskins at first base and a Jackie Bradley Jr-like player in the outfield.
