"McCutchen's impressive hustle," MLB.com labels this highlight. It could just as easily be called "the Diamondback are bad at defense and baseball and should have sharp objects removed from their homes."
Chris Young lost a bloop single in the, uh, grass, and Willie Bloomquist couldn't scoop the throw, and McCutchen just kept on chugging to third. He probably should have broken for home—I'm sure Miguel Montero would have spontaneously combusted before receiving the ball, and whoever was backing up the throw would have stumbled into a pit of piranhas.

We've previously alerted you to the greatness of Andrew McCutchen, and last night he made us swoon once again. Even though his team lost 3-0 in the opening game of a series against the Cincinnati Reds, McCutchen gave us the highlight of the game when he took an Aroldis Chapman fireball square on the arm, and then refused to show any signs of pain or even rub the spot where he was hit. Instead, McCutchen whipped his shin guard towards the dugout, sauntered down to first base, and sent an icy glare in Chapman's direction.
