Less than 2 outs should not happen except for the contact play. If it is called and hit to an infielder there is nothing the coach or the runner can do about it. The 9th inning send is absolutely inexcusable. 
as for the one with Swanson, as I said, that could go either way. If India goes to first everyone is saying what a great play Swanson made and what a great send from Harris. 

Stuff happens, the part that PO'd me was Swanson just gave up.  I'm mean not terrible if you're between 1st and 2nd but if you're 40 ft from home plate you run the home and hope the throw hits you in the back or something.

The 9th inning Madrigal play....i give credit to the LF and De La Cruz for executing perfectly. But with Bellinger up next and 1 out you don't send Madrigal.  Belli puts the ball in play and in the air.  His flyball would have scored him.

I have no idea if the baserunning blunders are on the players, base coaches, Counsell, or what.  Maybe a combo.  And they don't seem to be learning.  You make 1 mistake fine, but they keep happening.

Problem with that logic is PCA hit the ball and India is not a stupid moron, which you would've had to be to attempt to go to first on that particular ball when hit by a fast guy like PCA
