I guess his HR wasn't real after all. He's picking up the ways of the Pirates.
By the end of the season, they'll have an entire catalog of follies. The two balls not caught at the pitchers mound. Craig. Now Hayes.

What amazes me is the attention to detail that someone actually kept an eye on him as he rounded the bases.

What happened? Did Hayes fail to touch one of the bases as he ran them?

He missed 1B.

How is that possible? He's a finely tuned athlete who's in control of his body's movements. He's not a butterfly.

He was hustling for extra bases at that point before realizing the ball struck the foul pole. But he should have realized it and gone back when he saw it was a HR.

How is it possible for a player to miss a base? They're not postage stamped-sized, and THEY'RE STATIONARY!!!

Nah, it's to help people remember to "All Hail Nutting"

Good one, Javy.

Greg Brown reminding us that Hayes is still a rookie. I guess they don't touch the bases in the minors, high school or little league.

Hayes is having a rough night on the base paths...now he has to remember to stop at some point sliding into a bag

There is no excuse, no apology, for missing a base.

You're not expecting anything else from him than what he's produced so far this year, are you?

I just turned the game on. It's hard to believe. On the other hand, it's hard to believe what Craig did. What was our first base coach looking at?
