'Sorry you had to see that' -- How baserunning has become an embarrassing problem in Major League Baseball - "Our players today, for all their talent and greatness, are confused far too often on the bases. In spring training 2019, Yankees manager Aaron Boone, during infield drills, instructed his players that when the Yankees are in the field, if there's an infield fly rule, his fielders should consider intentionally letting the ball drop because it might totally confuse the runners on the other team. They might not know what to do, and they might run themselves into another out.

"A couple of weeks later, on Opening Day against the Orioles, the Yankees had runners on first and second with one out when Gary Sanchez hit a towering popup -- infield fly rule, batter is out automatically -- that Orioles catcher Jesus Sucre dropped. Luke Voit, the runner on second, got confused and took off for third -- even though he didn't have to go anywhere. He was tagged out in a rundown for a double play."
