The Colorado Rockies are currently down 3-1 to the Diamondbacks, but you can’t fault them for doing everything they possibly can on the base paths.
They have given Welington Castillo fits, stealing three bases on three attempts — though you can probably give the Diamondbacks catcher a pass on this Charlie Blackmon wizardry:

However, not all the steals were graceful.
