fathom Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ May 17, 2013 -> 03:57 AM) My initial reaction on that play was that I was impressed he even read the ball well enough to be in the area. That ball had some crazy top spin. It was a hard catch to make. The top spin would have made it easier for Viciedo to get to. It hit his glove and he didn't have to jump for it = should be caught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorStSox Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Pujols moves like he's 45. All those roids are catching up to him. That's a scary contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I said it made it easier for him to get to since it didn't go as far as it appeared it would off the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 That was a case of the 2-2 pitch being a reasonable one to swing at, it was a great pitch, but he shouldn't have had two strikes because the others he swung at weren't close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 For a catcher, Flowers has little clue at the plate about the opposition setting him up for a particular pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until he learns to stop taking strikes and swinging at balls, he's going to struggle to hit over .200 in the majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no plan at the plate. That first breaking ball was hung, but he was taking all the way. Then, he swings at a ball in the dirt. He's just out of sorts.

It hit his glove and he didn't have to jump for it = should be caught FWIW, the Angels' announcers said he did a good job just to get to the ball. From their perspective, at the time of the play....it was a double, but a play that would be made about 30-40% of the time, at least my interpretation.
