And, the pickoffs are a mistake of aggression. In those instances, the guy was going to run and tried to get a bigger lead or just leaned too soon. I'd like to see fewer of those, but it's going to happen.
Although Marusak got picked last night, the aggression helped on numerous occasions last night.
