Good day for Maybin.

[Swifty]

I went to the game today.

Maybin had such a bad day on the basepaths (going home on a grounder to the catcher, running back to first in a full count 2 out situation) that he actually got lectured ON the field. Good times.

Other than that, the position players just looked like they were going through the motions.
