Yep. Being picked off 2nd? Possibly. Being picked off 3rd? Definitely. But first? Not really. It's an aggressive mistake. Not mental.

to KBs point though, getting picked off first because you're not "in the game" is a mental mistake. I haven't seen the play but the way that article describes it it sounds like that's what happened.

A mental mistake would be creating huge hypotheticals to prove a half point.

Yeesh. That was kind of douchey.

Wow, talk about nitpicky. Mental mistake or not, getting picked off of first is a boneheaded play. I think that was the point. And since the other three miscues were mental mistakes, I don't have a problem lumping a pick off in there with the others. I think we all get the point of the paragraph right? Do we really need pick everything apart?

Crazy wrong? Seriously? I'm insane because I think getting picked off of first is a boneheaded play? Crazy? Really?

Yes. You're insane. You should be locked away from society for thinking that. You're scaring the children.

Mental mistake or bonehead play? Great taste or less filling? Pimple or boil?
Oh.

It's crazy inappropriate.

Sorry to disappoint, but it's far more harmless than one may think.

Yeah, it's not really crazy inappropriate at all, just as saying being picked off is a bone headed play wasn't crazy wrong at all
