Gunned Down

Washington Times:

The importance of running responsibly came through Sunday, when Bonifacio was gunned down against the Reds.
“Guys need to learn when to pick the spot. You just don't run to run,” Acta said. “If a guy, like [last Sunday], [Reds pitcher Johnny] Cueto was really quick to the plate, there are times when you just need to shut it down.”
He puts more emphasis on going from first to third on a single as he does on stealing, preferring to take an extra base in a situation where the defense doesn't have as much control over the play.
