Dickerson is good at his craft, but I don’t believe what he was trying to describe there.

Avila now bringing up the fact that during a rundown, if a player is coming at the runner from a direction that isn’t either base, that player should run straight to the runner and make the runner decide on a base to run to.

ha, Alex Avila is talking about how he did the same thing last season. "it took me a little longer" to get out to the runner.

You are clearly a few minutes ahead of me on the radio broadcast.  But damn it, it’s good analysis and a story out of Avila.

Avila talking about an unassisted double play he had with the Tigers (in 2013).  He tagged at a runner between 3rd and home around 3rd, and then tagged the next runner trying to advance to 3rd.

”Obviously any runner that was caught in a rundown between me and Miguel…. advantage runner.”

It technically wasn't unassisted, since it was a ground ball to 1st with runners on 1st and 3rd, with a throw home.
