Why Rockies Chris Nelson’s steal of home was more than a Nick Masset blunder“When Colorado Rockies rookie Chris Nelson stole home in the eighth inning of Thursday’s victory against the Cincinnati Reds, I found myself seated, and more than anything, confused about what had just happened. A rookie, stealing home—the 1st of his career, nonetheless—in a tie game, in the heart of a pennant race. Excweese me? Bacon Powder?But now, days later and after watching far too many replays, I can’t help but believe that Nick Masset set himself up failure.” [The Golden Sombrero]
