Watch: Diamondbacks make embarrassing mistake in outfield

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports | By Larry Brown | Last updated 6/1/21

The Arizona Diamondbacks made an embarrassing Little League-like play during Monday night’s 6-2 loss to the New York Mets.

Jose Peraza was batting with the bases empty and two outs in the top of the fourth. He hit a fly ball to left center, in between Ketel Marte and David Peralta. The Arizona outfielders could not decide who would take the ball and let it drop for a double.

That’s not the type of play you expect to see out of an MLB club.

But it gets worse. The Mets intentionally walked Mason Williams to bring up pitcher Jacob deGrom. DeGrom made them pay with an RBI single to make it 3-0.

You see things like that and it helps explain why the Diamondbacks are 19-36 and just lost 13 in a row. Yuck.
