Adam Duvall commits single dumbest base-running error of all-time (Video)

Base-running clearly isn’t Adam Duvall’s strong suit. After committing a fatal flaw in Game 3, Duvall was at it again by forgetting the number of outs on Tuesday.

Duvall is a power-hitting machine. That’s why he’s in the lineup. And after Jorge Soler was placed on the COVID-19 IL on Tuesday, it became even more clear that he’ll be in the lineup long-term.

Yet, the Braves expect a little more from him on the basepaths than this.

With one out in the inning, Duvall just took off on contact. Unfortunately, hit teammate just spun the ball into the outfield on a pop-up, meaning that’s…an easy out for the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Braves have a chance to close out the Brew Crew at home. A trip back to Milwaukee is daunting to say the least.

Without the power-hitting Soler, runs could be at a premium. The Braves called up top prospect Christian Pache to take his place in the outfield, though the youngster struggled in his brief major-league stint at the beginning of the season.

With Charlie Morton on the mound, the Braves should have every opportunity to finish this series without leaving the ATL. Morton has plenty of experience in such situations, and it’s why the Braves brought him in in the first place.
