The Nationals' base running blunder epitomized their struggles this season, encapsulating the confusion and poor decision-making that has characterized their play as they lost all hope of being competitive.
In an astonishing series of errors, Joey Gallo hesitated at third, while Juan Yepez vacated and returned to bases, resulting in a chaotic 8-6-2-3-2-5-4 double play.
Fans took to social media in droves, humorously lamenting the absurdity of the Nationals' base running as a perfect definition of how dire their situation is this season.
The Nationals, not quite the worst in baseball, highlight how even capable players can fall victim to poor instincts in high-pressure moments on the field.
