By this point, everybody in the majors knows the book on Ramon Laureano as a defensive center fielder. It’s not complicated, and it only contains one sentence:
Don’t run on Ramon.
However, it turns out we might need to amend that scouting report. After all, there are times in a baseball game when you have to run, and in those moments, if Laureano has the ball, then the script flips a complete 180.
Don’t run on Ramon, unless you have to, then don’t NOT run on Ramon.
This new bylaw became necessary after the Oakland A’s game against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.
