qwerty Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 What? I was at the game, he was cutting across and needed to jump up and out to catch that ball. Barely jumped my ass. It was a hell of a catch, and one of the harder home run robs you'll ever see. Hardly one of the harder home run robs i will ever see or have already seen.I really wish this game was on fsn so that i could once more see how high he jumped.

YASNY Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 They showed a view of Lee's catch from the CF camera. The ball was not going out. It would have hit near the top of the fence. That being said, Lee ran it down and time his leap and extension perfectly. On Uribe's HR, Winn hit the wall before he could get his arm extended. In other word's he missed timed his leap or his reach, one of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Not really. I'd guess 7 to 8 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since lee is 6-2 once he raises his arms he would easily be 7-6 to 8 foot. I don't know what bob dylan saw but i never saw him jump up for the ball. It was still a nice job by him to get over there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABearSoX Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 we won by 1 run.....just to make that apparent to some of you....i think solo HRs = 1 run....i want any of you to go play outfield in the MLB.....or i want you to say what you have to say about him to his face.....stop this stupid ass carlos bashing he is better then you......sorry i just got home from work i am angry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still a nice job by him to get over there though. It was a great catch. Go watch the replay....It was one of the tougher catches I have seen this year. It's not like he was able to camp under it and just jump straight up....He was running full speed and jumped up and out. Whether it was gonna be out of the park (I thought it was) is debatable...either way it most likely saved us a run. Jesus qwerty give credit where credit is do. I don't like Carlos' showboating either. If he is POSITIVE it is gone then fine, but if he's not sure...then run your ass off. It could be the difference between a double or a triple. Either way..all that s*** aside, that was a spectacular catch. Great game yesterday good crowd. I was at patio party and then our seats were section 106. Not too shabby. Afterwards we went down to the bullpen bar where an annoying cub fan, in full out cub gear, was starting s***. All he kept saying was "sell out your park" "come talk to me when you sell out your park" getting all up in everyones face with this cocky attitude. I was trying to explain to this moron that selling out your park and watching sam"me" hit a few homeruns does not equate to a world series. Anyway he kept getting loud and up in peoples faces. I think he knew things were escalating and finally left the place to a chorus of "8 GAMES BACK" "8 GAMES BACK" "8 GAMES BACK" hahaha I love it.

southsider2k5 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I know but I am not gonna complain about his arm when he is a top 7 offensive LF'er. Not to mention he ranks 5th among LF'ers in assists and would be on higher if Burke could hold onto the ball. He ranks at the top of assists because everyone runs on his POS arm. No one is scared to run on Carlos, so he gets tons of opportunities to throw people out. If that many people ran on Vlad he would have 50 assists to Carlos's 7. This is one of those instances where raw numbers make for a bad comparision here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have hit near the top of the fence The Sports section in my morning newspaper has it that Carlos Lee leaps against the wall to rob Seattle's Raul Ibanez of a homer in the third inning Sunday. I look at the photo still they took of Lee and the ball was going over the fence for a solo HR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomsonmi Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I saw both Winn's miss and CLEE's catch the difference was all timing. CLEE timed his jump and Winn didn't. Winn's arm clearly ran into the wall stopping him from extending enough to catch Uribe's HR. CLEE timed his catch perfectly therefore his arm didn't crash into the wall. I suppose we can debate what CLEE's vertical leap was but that would be idiotic. It was a difficult catch. If you can't recognize that you've never played the outfield. Timing the catch of a baseball with running into a wall is never easy. What the hell do you people need CLEE to do to actually get some respect. The man is never hurt ala many of our other so called stars. The man almost never slumps. He clearly works hard to improve himself as a player. He's gone from a disastrously bad fielder to a good fielder by left fielder standards. Oh, yea, I forgot he's the only player in the major leagues who grandstands on homeruns. So, now I understand why some of you dislike him so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
