The Cleveland Guardians ' broadcast team shared a fascinating stat midway through Wednesday's game in St.
Louis against the Cardinals. Cleveland, having just been thrown out at home, leads MLB in times making an out at the plate this season. It was six after that play.
And it had already been two on the day. And those two players thrown out at home, by daylight? The Guardians lost 5-3, by two runs.
Yeah, those plays mattered. And it's worth asking questions about why the runners were going. Both times, they were testing the relay of Masyn Winn -- the shortstop who has measurably the strongest infield arm in all of baseball.
