There is nothing more infuriating in baseball than a reliever that can’t throw strikes.

A base runner that doesn't know to run on contact with 2 outs?

Smart guy, tell us all what a “two out lead” is and how to execute one. If you can’t do so I’d have to guess you were just another softball player.
It's wide and deep, however, Soto has to be careful because the guy behind the plate is probably the best in MLB at snap throws and catching runners getting too big a secondary lead.

Tell me about Soto's baserunning. Henley wasn't sending him. Soto doesn't get good jumps. Soto is not a good baserunner. Good defensive OFer in CF with an arm routinely scouted as 55 or 60 grade.  Henley has been more conservative of late, largely because of some rather horrendous sends. So there's an insanely high probability that Henley wasn't going to send Soto because the OFer has been scouted as having a good arm and Soto is a mediocre baserunner who probably didn't have as lengthy a lead as you would want due to Contreras being behind the plate.

Oh, by the way, it's especially important to note that he was facing the Cubs, a team that has haunted him: https://www.bleachernation.com/2018/08/10/juan-soto-is-a-19-year-old-stud-but-he-got-worked-on-the-bases-by-the-cubs-videos/

If you don't think that was affecting Soto's lead (and every other player in this game BTW), you are mistaken.

I feel like we are getting close.   We need to get Hellickson out of the rotation.

None of that tells us what a “two out lead” is. Do you know how to execute a “two out lead”??? ... let’s sleep on it and you can tell us tomorrow.
