Seattle Mariners' Victor Robles was roasted for a 'bonehead' baserunning mistake during the team's blowout loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.
The New York Yankees rolled over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night, and one reason for the Mariners only scoring one run came in the bottom of the first inning on what was called an 'absolutely ridiculous' decision by Victor Robles. Seattle had the bases loaded, two outs and Justin Turner at the plate, a hitter who has a career batting average of over .320 in situations like this.
Nelson added that it was a 'bonehead' mistake by Robles, who was replaced as designated hitter by Mitch Garver when it was his turn to hit again. While interim manager Dan Wilson didn’t say whether the replacement of Robles was due to this play or being hit in the hand by Gil’s first pitch of the game, he didn’t dish out any harsh words for the veteran when asked about stealing home. 'Vic’s an aggressive player, there’s no doubt, and that’s part of the game,' Wilson said.
