fathom Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 08:59 PM) I'd say something about being frustrated, but...really nothing left to say about this team right now. This is a bad team right now. They flat out weren't prepared coming out of ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Ugh. Viciedo should have gotten back to the wall faster....found it, and then went up for the wall instead of drifting. Sale is just lacking in stuff today. That's the second "fastbal" that Swisher has hit hard. And still not getting the key outs from a pitching standpoint... Mark Reynolds with a stolen base? OUCH.

To add, he wasn't aware of his positioning. He kind of backed into the wall as he dropped it, despite having plenty of time to feel around for it.

And returned home to 12k in attendance and wanted to know why fans won't support them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 04:59 PM) Yet another run entirely on the defense, even if it's not counted as an error somehow. No. The ball hit the wall a good foot and a half above Vicideo's glove. An athletic fielder like Wise may have been able to jump up and catch it on the wall, but most OFers would have just played it off the wall anyway. It looks dumb, but it was not even close to being an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It "literally" bounced off his glove after bouncing off the wall above him. Unless rules have changed, it's still not an out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A play that probably should have been made though, but it happens on the road when you're inexperienced and everything's going wrong that can go wrong, seemingly. I just did the replay DVR thing, it bounced above his glove because he didn't have his arm fully extended up. He had his arm too low, he was extending it when it hit the wall. It was an easy catch, his arm was in the wrong spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Everyone in the entire organization except for maybe Rios can be blamed for something, and Reed. From Ventura on down... Even if we wanted to trade Viciedo now, we couldn't get anything back for him. Not even another minor league version of Tyler Flowers. Benching Viciedo and playing Wise gets us what exactly?
