It’s not every day that a base running blunder costs a player a spot on a roster, but Tampa Bay Rays infielder Tim Beckham lost his when he committed a cardinal sin by not hustling on the base path.
It wasn’t Beckham’s first blunder, it was in fact the third incident all coming within the Tampa Bay Rays recent six-game road trip.
The latest blunder came during the Tampa Bay Rays game on Wednesday afternoon against the Boston Red Sox.
