Why a tee-baller is better than Matt Lawton

OK, so the first thing you do as a baserunner on a hit and run is look for the ball after the crack of a bat, right? I mean this is basic Little League stuff here. So Tike Redman hits a towering pop-up and Lawton doesn't even look for the ball. He doesn't look for a coach. He just runs. By the time he realizes the ball is popped up, it's in Derrick Lee's glove and he's out on a mind bogglingly stupid double play for the SECOND TIME IN A WEEK. Next batter, Jason Bay, crushes a triple. Please stop complaining about Bay's lack of RBIs, it's not his fault.
