Just recently, Alen Hanson ignited some electricity on the base paths that have gotten rallies started for the sluggish San Francisco Giants offense. However, that doesn’t mean they were smart moves.
Take the series finale against the Cardinals for example. In the bottom of the fifth, after Pablo Sandoval crushed a three-run homer to give the Giants the lead, Hanson does something idiotic on the base path. The title for that video is “Hanson’s heads-up baserunning” which I hope is sarcasm.
Hanson is on first with one out and Gorkys Hernandez hits a semi-slow ground ball slightly towards the hole between short and third that forces the shortstop to charge it due to Hernandez’s speed.
