Maikel Garcia, missing SB (6/14)

Maikel Garcia seems to be missing a stolen base in yesterday’s stats…

MLB.com should not call this a SB.

@chy924 and I just watched the moment- Garcia broke for third, the pitcher disengaged, and the ump gave Garcia third and Witt 2nd.

So, I think our box is right and MLB.com is wrong. But this is a unique one!

I stand corrected. After the data load last night, Maikel Garcia has a SB, and that should be reflected across Ottoneu.

I understand both giving him a SB since he was already running on the third disengagement, and not giving him a SB since the disengagement violation resulted in the umpire granting the base.

Again, a pretty unique one! Always fun to replay a clip of a game to see what the stats are attempting to reflect.
