CHICAGO -- No one ever said Adam Eaton lacks nerve.
So why then, Adam, did you even bother to wait for the ball to bounce out of catcher Roberto Perez's mitt? Why not just a straight steal of home?
Eaton might not have been crazy enough to break for the plate while the ball was still in Indians starter Corey Kluber's hands, with White Sox slugger Jose Abreu in the batter's box, but he might as well have. It was still rolling toward the dirt when Perez retrieved it, and Eaton appeared like he'd be out at home plate.
