Still can't believe they tried to steal 2nd with 32 year old Refsnyder (17 career SB) and a good defensive catcher in that situation.

What an epic fail of a decision with 0 out and the heart of the order up.

And there ya go....
Pitcher on the ropes who is not used to failure. Really terrible decision.

Regardless; to score two in the top of the 9th to tie and then throw it away on one pitch still sucks.

Some objectively horrific "first guess" bizarre decisions in that game. Hopefully a one-off for the coaching staff.

But honestly they were lucky to be in it at all, let's win the series tomorrow.

I think whoever called for that steal thought the 0-2 pitch would be a slider. No other reason makes sense to go there.
