[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1792030, member: 747321"] He was trying to block the fielder's throwing lane, which is smart baserunning, and worked. It's also something that came up in a Goldschmidt profile on the Athletic back in June: "Fast forward to that September, the second game of a double-header in Pittsburgh. The [URL='https://theathletic.com/team/pirates/']Pirates[/URL] had the infield in with one out, Miller on second and Goldschmidt on third. The score was tied 2-2 in the sixth inning of a seven-inning game. Tyler O’Neill hit a chopper to Pirates third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes, who was then a rookie but already an excellent defender. “Goldy doesn’t think twice. He runs inside the baseline because there’s no baseline from third to home — you can establish your own,” Miller recalls. “He’s big. He’s got those wide shoulders. He runs inside. Ke’Bryan Hayes looks up and goes, ‘Oh s—’ and sails it because he doesn’t have a lane to throw.” Goldschmidt scored the go-ahead run. The Cardinals ended up winning, 7-2. Afterward, the clubhouse was buzzing. “He comes in and other people are like, ‘F— yeah, that’s sick!’” Miller remembers. “And he’s like, ‘Yeah, that’s the play. That’s what you do.’” [URL unfurl="true"]https://theathletic.com/3388731/2022/06/30/paul-goldschmidt-cardinals-details/[/URL] Knizner obviously has learned some thing from Goldy. [/QUOTE]
